I got this box myself last year, the cakes included although they are only 8-12 shots, are actually very good. And the candles included in the pack are fantastic.

I personally thought that the most surprising part of that box were the two "Comet b**b" candles. Tiny things in comparison to the rest of the stuff, probably about 3-4 inches high and very thin but launched up an impressive rocket-esque effect with a massive explosion.

hey guys, i agree with danmagnet, the comet b**bs are ace. but the one thing i found with the tnt asda range of fireworks is, although they say 18 or woteva fountains atleast 5 of those are some reali brusty mini fountains that just burn with like a one inch flame, however the rest are excelent, i had the thunderbolt and the big boom, both were great. james

I got the Big Boom selection this yesr too.

My favirotes were the comet b**bs, "What Up" cake and the Equalizer cake.

I was appauled with the "super b**b sky rockets". There cat3 display rockets yet they only have a small star burst, not even a crackle finish!

I grabed a pack of High Society rockets from Tesco , it was buy 1 get 1 free. I preffered these over the super b**b rockets. Lovely effects, star bursts, glitter, king crackles, starburst to small crackle and brocane crowns! And these were cat2.

I also could not resist getting a Hayleys Comet cake from lidl, sliver strobes and king crackle, very nice finale.

Regards

I got 4 packs of the smallest rockets asda sell £2.49 for a pack of 5 rockets.
and although they didn't go bang or even pop, they were great little filler material / cannon fodder (that went phut!)
and at that price you can't argue lol
let off 5 at a time, they put a few bits of colour in the sky, and at the end of the day thats what its all about.
over all good value, just don't expect anything!
and you'll be happy you got them

I will buy more next year (if they have them) I reckon they could be re-classified as cat 1 (well not quite but you get the idea :lol: )

Fireworks with no bangs, would be like food with no taste!
Sure its edible, but who would want to eat it?
