cherry bomb

Spherical loud firework

A cherry bomb is a round, red firecracker that produces a loud explosion.

The name comes from its resemblance to a cherry.

Cherry bombs were popular for pranks and Fourth of July celebrations but are now illegal in many places due to their power: Someone threw a cherry bomb into the toilet.

The term sometimes describes anything small but surprisingly forceful.
