Rice Krispies, virtually the only fireworks they allow in NC. Just traveled to Kansas from North Carolina and the fireworks that people set off last night were great! Subdivisions and streets banding together to have group firework displays! It was awesome, even to drive by on the interstate.
Back in NC, nothing that leaves 10’ from the ground can be sold. So sad to watch. Even sadder to fork over dollars for.
I remember back in the early 50’s when I was a kid in Manhattan Beach, California, there was a law against fireworks so my family didn’t have any. However, the city manager of Manhattan Beach had no problem with his family setting off fireworks!
They must live in a state that doesn’t allow you to own fireworks (cough * Massachusetts) where they put on a demonstration every year of the dangers of fireworks but never about a scene of a dead person in a wreck caused by a high or drunk driver.
Things were tough that year on the farm in Kansas. With the 4th of July approaching, Dad announced that there would be no money for fireworks that year.But…we still had the best, most memorable 4th ever. Dad found a piece of lead pipe about yea long and filled it with black powder (used for blasting stumps out of the ground). He jammed the pipe (bomb) into the ground good and hard and lit the fuse.I can still see it in my mind: that piece of pipe spinning though the air out over the cornfield. It was a beautiful thing.

The cartoon dad might be cheap but I am amazed what my neighborhood must spend on fireworks

It’s not about trying to save a little money. He’s just overly concerned about safety.
