RE: Today is Guy Fawkes Day, but maybe that doesn't mean what you think it means..

lol. I think a big part of the fun during July 4th was the fact that we were kids and our parents were really ok with the fact that we were purchasing and using what is basically explosives when i was a kid. I mean i had a lot of them. Did we occasionally hear about a kid blowing their fingers off? Of course, but honestly, something bad was always going to happen to that kid.

I think being allowed to be around potential danger was actually a good thing and well, none of that is really allowed anymore is it?

Sort:  

It’s not allowed and it was very dangerous. I used to throw bangers all the time. It was more of a challenge to buy them being underage.

In the Far East they are more like explosives and there are no restrictions. The triangular packets I have seen in the Philippines literally through you back when they detonate!
