2-inch Wiseguy Cracker

[FinnAmerican1979]

These appear to be sold by Boomtown Fireworks in Dyer, Indiana and eBay. They have a descent bang for a Consumer grade 1.4g firecracker. Sold in bricks of 20 packs; containing 10 crackers per pack.

Don't know what yours are like, but the first ones came in in 2010 and all were 2 3/8" crackers made for the Netherlands market.
Quite loud. Most of the crackerwraps were pasted on upside down. Wasn't there a thread about them here?

I have a pack of Wiseguys Crackers somewhere with 10 in a pack. They are around that 2 plus inch size. I should just take them out and light them. That dealer up in North Dakota brings that stuff in. They use to sell that stuff at the PGI ( AKA the conduit ). Although, last I heard he may not selling there ever again.

See the above post for details and pics. On the earlier packs the spelling was one word Wiseguy, not Wise Guy.

Solid red wraps. They are great shooters. Might as well enjoy'em!

Could not get the search system to search by date. Anyone know how? I wanted to compare labels.

Very Nice!!! Do these have a double-paper fuse?

Another comparison of later wiseguys. The left with white clay plug is the better performer.

I just picked up another brick of 20 packs. The right side version still also has a plaster plug within it. They're descent bangers ; compared to the the alternative modern crackers.

The earliest version were way louder. They had a newspaper wrap on them. The newer all red version arent bad but definitely not as good as the original newspaper Wiseguy crackers. Still good and fun shooters for sure.

see the 11-03-2018 thread for pics of the originals that had Netherlands labels pasted on upside down. I still have some of these.
