Hey wait.... really? You too?
I used to buy several packs of sparklers, break the power off of the wire into a pile, then poor it into a container such as a plastic or metal tube, or anything that would not melt instantly, stick another sparkler into it as a fuse, then seal it up and light it. It wouldn't explode but it would make for a cool little fireworks show.
And you're right today, any kid would get arrested for doing that kind of thing.
