Re: Plastic cherry bombs revisited?

Thanks for posting this John.

I've never come across any of these little guys, in spite of my
connections with the fireworks underground. Still, I can see from the
photos why the CPSC would want to ban them. Heck, they long ago banned
traditional cherry bombs.

Still, when I think about it I have to wonder how many readers here
have ever seen a traditional cherry bomb. As luck would have it, I
still have a half empty box of the original things. I figured on
shooting the remaining cherry bombs and selling the empty box on eBay,
but before doing that I'll take a few pictures and post them on
Norleif's wonderful photo site. Then too, I have a partial box of some
illegal NYC M80s as well, and although their box is not so colorful,
I'll photograph them as well.

I still have several cartons of Rozzi rockets and Keystone roman
candles. Do you think that these would be worth photographing and
posting or do you think that photos of these things would simply be too
boring?

Curmudgeonly, Harry C.

I found this recent photo from Pirotecnico Reyes (Mexico) and I assume
these gems are a new twist on an old item. Probably work better with
slingshots but doesn't seem to address the reason the original US made
plastic cherry salute was banned. Maybe the CPSC could staff a Mexico
City office now that we have the North American "Free Trade" Agreement.
I'll pop for the first one way ticket and citizenship documents.
