We used to do it with packages of caps for cap guns. I still smile when I see the 1cm hole basted in my Mom's concrete front porch.
went to a few of these in Celaya, GTO Mx and then in San Miguel de Allende GTO. I played with the large triangle "football" crackers in the crowd. This guy keep trying to stick a lit crack in my back pocket... I blindsided him with a lit cracker in the front shirt pocket... It work alright, it also had 3-4 others in that pocket... My lil brother and I ran and hid around the corner... We later saw the kid at the running of the bulls in SMA. His brother told us he lost all hearing... it was what it was i guess....
We also smashed 1-2 full boxes of caps with the croquet mallets.. Now that's a loud one also.. Did it on the patio a lot... with the sliding door open, with Mom passed out on the barcca-lounger(sp) Good for a few belts later when dad got home. i know i know, then I started putting cigarette loads into her smokes, she drag them down to 2/3 left and bOOm the would pop and break up... For a long time she thought it was because she burped back though the smoke..... lol, she found the cig load package and that ended that... i know i know....
