The best fireworks are whatever ones i’m watching!!
I prefer the big colorful ones with or without the sound of a bang!
Disney World puts on a great show!
Even better when used inappropriately… like lighting bundles of sparklers at once, or lighting firecrackers and then throwing them at siblings, or lighting bottle rockets and tossing them end-over-end so you have no idea what direction they’ll shoot. Good times.
The best are willow crossettes, but that’s sort of a sizzle-sizzle that then goes bang in several places and then goes sizzle-sizzle in several more in this parlance.
The ones that you make yourself with your buddy’s dad’s oxygen-acetylene torch. You know, the kind where you start by filling balloons then work your way up to garbage bags and then the county sheriff calls and says the neighbors complained that someone is setting off dynamite.
Pro tip: put a little water in the bag first to prevent static from setting it off before you are ready.
@macromeh Hmm is that the voice of experience? (the water tip). I can give the tip my brother learned the hard way. Aluminum is often a catalyst. Do not mix things in aluminum pie tins. He had to have 200+ pieces of red phosphorus taken out of his eyes, cut his hand and blew out the furnace pilot light.
When they all go off at once
@Rueki The bigger the better so long as there are no fires and no deaths!

Katy Perry’s 2010 release.
The ones that are so loud that you can feel them. 🧨
The ones you set off for yourself!

@Turken You forgot to mention the hand-held Roman candle wars.

Perhaps we’ll get lucky?

@jsfs ah well. Bed for me. I’m between fireworks shows or I’d look something up.
The one that makes the big BOOM! during the 1812 Overture.
@PocketBrain Those should be cannons.
The ones that don’t terrify my dog
The one that goes off in the mortar tube and starts a fire.
The ones that explode in letters.

The one that sets off the box of fireworks you kept too close to the launch area that sets the rest of the box off.
