Firecrackers

Firecrackers are small explosives wrapped in paper with a fuse at the end. The goal of the firecracker, once the fuse is lit, is to make a ton of noise. Firecrackers came from China in the 12th century and were used to scare away spirits. Today, firecrackers are used in celebrations for 4th of July, New Years Eve, and other holidays.
