Note to self: Store dynamite AWAY from the box of candles.

1/4 stick of dynamite? She’d be dead.

This sounds like an industrial firework.

An M80 is not a quarter stick of dynamite, nor would anyone with a brain every confuse a firecracker with a fuse coming out of the side with a freakin’ candle.

Here’s what a quarter stick looks like, just as the article said: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_stick

“quarter stick” firecrackers do not contain nitroglycerin as dynamite does, and have far less explosive power.
