Hello everyone and Venter of 719 here and in today's video we are going to be comparing United States versus Canadian firecrackers. Now I did a video about this a while back comparing American versus some Polish firecrackers. I called it US versus France firecrackers. It was a pretty popular video. Kind of interesting I thought. Now of course the Polish firecrackers that I bought over there were very powerful. This is more or less your standard what you'll find in North America tight firecracker. The cheap ones I'm talking about. Now basically anyone who is from Canada knows that since like the 70s or 80s I don't really remember when obviously because I'm only a 96 baby. Firecrackers are actually illegal here in Canada disregard what you see over here. I'm pretty sure I read that they're only legal to buy in sell so maybe I'm not actually doing anything that bad. But anyway what you can buy in Canada are these things called firecrackers. Now this basically comes in a package of six of these boxes what we call a brick. These aren't super popular but basically they're the closest things they look like firecrackers. They don't really do the same thing as firecrackers but I'll show you in this video what they do. Basically the only difference is they have these two little holes in them. They have a really short fuse and they're really short and stubby. So before we go ahead and light them I'll show you them side by side and also stick around for after the comparison. I'll show you guys some other cool fireworks and explosions because I know that's what you'll like about these videos. But basically here's the side by side comparison. If I could focus on you here. So as you can see on the right there's the classic single use. Oh this one's actually broken. The bottom has no cleanet but anyway. So they are a little taller, the real firecrackers. They are thinner. They have a bit of a longer fuse and they're a slightly different color and of course they don't have holes on the side. They both are supposed to have the clay packaging in the end so they explode nicely. And the other main difference other than the sound which you're about to find out is the cost. I think when I was in the States I picked up those boxes that are like this big of like a hundred individual crackers for maybe a dollar and these ones here you have six packs of 12 each so only 72 of them and I think it was five bucks, five bucks Canadian which is still like over four dollars American. So anyway those are the notable differences and now let's get to the testing and then I have a few more surprises for you guys. So we're going to be doing the testing in this little patch of grass because it's kind of cool to have grass this time of year where I'm from. Anyway so here's the ones we'll be playing with today. I added in a bonus one from Poland that I was talking about just for a nice comparison. So let's start with the lamest first which is obviously the Canadian firecrackers with the holes in them. They're barely firecrackers I'll show you what they do. You should be able to see it around here somewhere. Alright here we go. Canadian firecracker. Alright so it kind of just sparkles and cracks. Meched up we have the standard issue American one and a half inch firecracker. I'm just going to kind of put the end into the dirt here so you can still hear it but you might get an explosion too. So not a bad little bang, no special effects. I'm going to do to make it a bit more interesting hopefully two of the Canadian firecrackers at the same time. If I touch the wicks together makes it easier to light both at once. Alright so bit of a delayed reaction. Now I've got three left. Let's go ahead and do the American ones first then I'll give you guys the big Polish one about the same size as my pinky for last. So for these ones we're going to do a damage report so I'm going to clear a little patch of dirt and put them underneath the dirt to see how powerful they are. I'm going to put one over here and just in case the crown is more defrosted over here. I'll light this one first then this one hopefully. So not much of a hole. So there's the hole they left. As expected it was a little more defrosted over here so it made a hole about up to my knuckle on my pointer finger. That one barely left a hole probably. It was a little bit too frozen still. So now we're going to finish off this video with this big Polish cracker. I put it in my pocket. I think it's called a demon extra large if you wanted to google it or it might just be the large variety. I'm going to go ahead and bury it again and about the same location. Only because of the whole zoning laws I don't want to make a lot of noise if it was out in the opening I like burying them and you can also get a good explosion effect from them being underground. So I'll move my camera off to the side so it doesn't get too dirty. So here we'll go ahead and light this one. Here we go. So I don't know if you could tell it sounded a lot louder. Instead of making a hole the lid kind of just blew off if you can see that right there. There's the fire cracker and it kind of just shot it like a cannon so it didn't actually make a crater but if it was underground it would have for sure. Anyway there's my little comparison. Not sure how much you guys like these fire cracker videos but I enjoy making them they're pretty easy and fun. If you want to see me blow up anything I know you guys have liked my microwave videos in the past. If you want to see anything like a toaster, any other appliance or toys or anything or special fire crackers just let me know. If you want to see any more comparison videos I have some fireworks if you like those instead of fire crackers but I think blowing up stuff is a lot more fun than lights in the sky but that's just me. Anyway thanks for watching everyone. Hope you enjoyed the video. Give it a subscribe if you liked it or want to see more. And as always please like comment as well. Thanks for watching.
