cherry bombs
Round red firecrackers
Cherry bombs are small, round firecrackers with a red coating, named for their resemblance to cherries.
Traditionally powerful and loud, they've been illegal in the United States since 1966 due to injury risk, though the name persists for legal firecrackers of similar appearance but reduced power: We set off cherry bombs every Fourth of July.
