You know, of all things that were once considered fireworks or could have been considered, I think the one that is simultaneously disappointing and relieving that you wouldn't find in stores today is the Pharaoh's Serpent. On one hand, how freaking awesome is that?! Like you have sparklers and Roman candles and then this thing which is like a bunch of tentacles reaching out from beneath the ground. On the other hand... mercury (II) thiocyanate being toxic means we stay safe especially when you have to be up close to watch that happen.
Thankfully, there are less chances now of fireworks killing us of mercury poisoning.. and of all my years in NYC, of memories of when doing fireworks on rooftops had not yet been considered illegal, I don't remember ever hearing of Pharaoh's Serpent being a thing so I guess we've always been a little safer.
This slightly morbid outlook on fireworks has been brought to you by Gwen and her empty stomach who are both waiting for stuff to cook at this BBQ.
Happy Fourth of July!

Just for the record because I know you'll consider it... you do not have to bring anything. We have more than enough here
