I want to know if you can still buy them... I don't think you were ever allowed to actually use them.
It was heaps of fun when I had the crackers... They were only tiny but were waterproof and would blow tiny craters in the ground if you poked them into the mud. They make a cool thud noise when they explode underwater... you can feel it through the ground.
The way you light these crackers is like a match. Strike them on a matchbox... So they are way less dodgy than the old ones with fuses.
I never bought any big ones (the ones I had were 7-8mm dia, 100mm long). The rockets we bought were cheapies and didn't fly straight or high.
