I am not talking about the displays you see from the sky, I am talking about the piece of shit fireworks you buy at the stands. Sparklers which is great fun for the little ones are so lame now. They burn a total of 8 seconds and take about 20 seconds to lite. Ground flowers used to be my favorite but now they are sad to watch. My kids enjoy them all, but if they knew what I knew, they'd be just as disappointed as me.
Yeah, what fun is a sparkler that lasts 8 seconds? I remember when I started noticing them getting shorter and shorter in length of time burning till finally I was like wait, why did I like these again? Fireworks are pretty expensive nowadays too. Who says Chinese labor is keeping costs down in America?
