    Could've fit all those fountains in one half of the box without all the fancy packaging. They're basically shipping half air and half actual fireworks. What a shame.

    Biggest scam in my opinion are the fake 500 gram repeaters that are tagged “value” or special deal. Pathetic things sometimes have less less then 200 grams of actual comp.

    This is why i've been looking into the laws and regulations regarding manufacturing my own fountains for personal use on the two holidays. I'm sure for the $300-$700 i spend each time, I'd d get a whole lot more product.

    What happened to just selling the tube with a colorful wrap like back in the 80's.. How does a box make it more appealing...? TNT is just like every other greedy company, downsize the product.. Upsize the package...

    There's a channel on KZread called crazies and all he does is cut open fireworks and shows you what a rip-off some of these fireworks are! I recommend him!

    Did you cut yourself? I thought there was a spot of blood on the cardboard.

    Selection boxes from years back never had this overpackaging . In Europe now ,boxes like these have the powder content in total on the box and each firework has its nec on the label. So at least you can see what explosive content you are getting . But , if you just put those tubes without the packaging in a box / pack and then next to it have them as they were with all the extra packing ,same price say , what will people buy . It is just a con trick . This overpacking should be outlawed ,even if just to reduce waste .

    One consideration is the lack of stability they’d have without the containers. I guess they could have put small bases on the tubes and sold them like that. The visual interest that a box provides definitely helps the marketing. This is especially true of assortment fountains. Single purchased fountains seem to have more substantial tubes within them. Great video for we Safe and Sane states.

    That’s the truth with fountains, although this is a poor representation. I’m sure you’re aware of these compared to a high quality fountain.

    I shoot 1.3 fountains occasionally but I'm not a fan of fountains. These are the typical fountains that we have available in our area.

    I heard that you guys in NC couldn't have alot of things we in SC can have, but I didn't know it was a safe and sane state. I'm not sure that it's a scam either. Using the box as a container and something to use to balance the fountain is likely. Too bad they don't have a reloadable fountain with a little stampted steel base. Would save on packaging, but at the same time it wouldn't stand out and catch your eye is the current packaging does. I don't know how many times I've said, but there is alot of smake and mirrors in consumer firework.
