What was your favorite firecracker from the old days? My vote would go to the tried and true cherry bomb. I miss the auto bombs, too.

Definitely bottle rockets. We use to have bottle rocket battles at Lake Lewisville. Kids dont know what they are missing. My boss and a coworker that i was training went to NC years ago. We spent the weekend in Virginia and they still sold them long after Texas banned. We talked our naive coworker into packing 8 gross in her carry on. Back in the 70s most of the roofs in Richardson were cedar shakes. I remember lots of fires on the 4th.

When I was a yute in the mean streets of suburban Chicago, the M80 was the nuclear option we all admired. I might still be wanted there for dropping a couple down the public library's vent shaft.
