Unicorn

Anyone have any info regarding this firecracker brand/company called "UNICORN"? I've seen it for years to this very day and yet there's zero information about them online no matter how hard I search, like they're some kinda ghost company.

Their stuff is really high quality though compared to other crackers. Seems strange there's nothing out there about em.

"Unicorns" on very common on Chinese firecracker labels. The mythical animal is called Kylin, most famous for foretelling the birth of Confucius. Now the beast, often shown flying, is the symbol of almost everything good, from wealth to fertility.

Here is an example by Him Wo.

I should have mentioned that Kylin is also called a Griffin on many firecracker brands.

Ones I have seen are Articles Pyrotechnic. "Theatrical" fireworks. Can't remember UN number offhand, but definitely not O336 Consumer Fireworks. The firecrackers are heavily strung together to not fly around and are lit with an external fuse. Crackers have a bit more snap than 50mg, but not much and the comp is shitty with little flash.
