Phantom Fireworks

This year my son's Boy Scout Troop was selling Phantom Fireworks.  This is the first time I have heard of them.  They have a lot of buy one get 1 deals on their smaller fireworks.  We bought some of their fireworks to help out the troop and to see how they compare to TNT which we usually buy.  The smaller items are not as good. A lot of the Morning Glory sparklers were hard to light.  The bigger grand finale items are much better.  The ones that we liked that put on a good show were the Volcanic Vortex cones and the New York Harbor Fountain.  The Volcanic Vortex cones shot lots of sparks and crackles and seemed to last for quite a while, though they lacked color.  The Tank W/R's were cool but some of them were duds.  Those tanks sold out really quick.  For the finale the New York Harbor fountain was spectacular! Almost continuous showers of stars, multicolored sparks, some loud whistles and lots of crackle.  It was almost overwhelming. Loved it!
