CHERRY BOMB

:''This article is about the explosive. For the muffler, see Glasspack''.
'Cherry bomb fireworks' are exploding fireworks, usually round, approximately one inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, and coloured red with a green fuse. They contain a core made of explosive flash powder, a layer of sawdust, and a coating of sodium silicate. They are powerful enough to cause very serious injury. Historically, the cherry bomb contained approximately 3/4 gram of a chlorate/sulfur/aluminum flash powder (a notoriously dangerous formulation) making it substantially less powerful than most other large firecrackers like the M-80 and silver salute.
Cherry bombs are considered illegal explosive devices in the United States^[1]. Possession, manufacture, or sale of cherry bombs in the USA is illegal.
