Great find. LOL Always interesting to see how fireworks are sold in other countries outside of USA. I found the video on YouTube also. Imagine selling fireworks in a food store.

And now we know United States is not the only country that has weak firecrackers. LOL

On a side note to everyone. When posting a video link from YouTube. Please post the link in the box that opens when you click that little green film strip icon. This way the video plays embedded on the forums. I have a sticky thread for reference in the Fireworks Legal Regulatory section.

I wonder if German crackers are black powder...

I wonder if German crackers are black powder...

They are. I had a German native on assignment for IBM who lived next door bring back two small firecracker assortments that were black powder. He did however bring in Austrian-made match salutes that were flash. Six inches long, 1 inch diameter, almost day-glo orange in color, they were extremely loud.
