bottle rocket
Small flying firework
A bottle rocket is a small firework attached to a stick, launched by placing the stick in a bottle.
The rocket shoots into the air with a whistle or trail of sparks, often ending in a small pop or burst.
Common in amateur Fourth of July celebrations: We set off bottle rockets in the backyard.
The stick stabilizes flight like a tail.
