A firecracker is a small and very fun explosive device primarily designed to produce a large amount of noise, especially in the form of a loud bang. Any associated visual effect is incidental to this goal – it's all about how loud the band is – and the bigger the better! Firecrackers have fuses, and are wrapped in a heavy paper casing to contain the bang-producing explosive compound. Firecrackers, along with fireworks, originated in China. Here are some classic firecracker labels from the past. Thanks for visiting and please come back often!
