pop pops

2012 has not happened yet, you mean 2011?

I second pop pops, whistling sparklers are cool too

[shrapnel]

Haha, I havent seen the naughty dog yet....gross!

Maybe he means post 4th is the 2012 season?

Don't need to rep the pop pops for a third time but they are at the top of the list... The naughty dog was cool... I liked the 10 meter magic whip too...

Whistling sparklers are cool? That's good, I have some on order.

Yeah! It's a frickin' sparkler with a frickin' whistle on it!!!

Hint: if you think it's going to be funny to surprise someone with these, make sure you are in an open area for when they throw it down in terror, surprise!!!

Yes, they are quite cool for a sparkler!

+1 for pop pops

Magic Whips!

Ditto on the pop pops

Using the criteria you used for the fountain thread, I would say that Star Balls, Disco Spinners, Dizzy Spell, Lady Bugs, Kryptonite Balls and Russian Roulette are good, but I may not completely know the definition of Novelty. I call them that though.

Some novelties you don't burn...

[darkskys25]

Piquins - These things rock. Wicked fast!

[Fe Maiden]

Kryptonite Balls

+1 if these in fact are novelties!

I discovered Laser Rangers from Brothers this year. Terribly addictive little UFOs.....

Im a fan of Zippers from Bigs.. really cool effect that reminds me of the old jumping jacks..

1/2 case of Diamond Shooters. Fuse together with fast fuse, and attach a green visco leader. Light, and run for your life. Did this tonight after a Black Market Fireworks demo in Joplin, Mo. Son-of-a-bitch, it was cold. Saw some good Black Cat and Power Source product. Dale has the videos. Expect that he will post them in the days to come .

Same as piquins and twister stixs. However, I have found that the twister stixs dont have as much zip in them and are much weaker in lift and sound. I dont recommend these around kids because they are unpredictable. Thats what makes them so addictive to me!

Zingers from Red Rhino seem to be the best IMO. They have a little different sound and have more juice than the others I have shot.

[pepsi pyro]

i love those kyptonite balls! Should have got a whole case. pop pops are okay too. Love that smell!

[Pennysworth]

Little Stinker by Hot Shot. Its a skunk with smoke that smells like a stink bomb.

[ShortFuse]

Chicken Blowing up Balloon.

It screams like one Saturn missile and blows a balloon up out of it's butt.

What is cooler than that?

+1 On the Russian Roulette

[peeplwtchr]

+1 On the Russian Roulette

Thanks! They are actually even cooler if you throw them high in the air. Alamo has these too, and they were cheaper than the BC version, but the qty. on Alamo wholesale form is incorrect, I do not remember how they are packaged.

[Pyroplegic]

Kellners Backyard pyro party! this is awesome, you light the single fuse, and this starts with flares, moves to whistles, crackle, spinners, and ends with a flag reminiscent of a cartoon "pow" flag.

Thats the shittin' chicken!
Nice, but not sure that beats the sadam/bin ladin ones...have you seen those in a store near you?
