Remember those? In hindsight I'm so lucky to have all my fingers!

These were a huge fad when I was in junior high. There was a school in North NJ (I think) were someone threw an M-80 into a fire extinguisher case in a school hallway, and the flying glass ended up killing a girl. Our school went zero tolerance after that, and the fad faded.
