Full name: "Deluxe Mixed Nuts" (no peanuts).  You may get an almond, you 
may get a hazelnut, you may get a cashew or a walnut - there's just no 
way to tell.  Life is just a sack of nuts.

I liked Picric Acid - not as touchy as mercury fulminate but less toxic 
and just kablamy enough to kick off the next stage of the party.  Also, 
I quite enjoyed dipping cotton or paper into nitric acid and rinsing and 
dipping again and rinsing and drying it - very therapeutic on an 
otherwise boring summer afternoon.  More bang, less residue.  I 
preferred ammonium nitrate for the same reason. Plus, it could be used 
to perk up the tomato patch or loosen stumps.

I liked filling up a large balloon with hydrogen and oxygen and letting 
it rise into the air until the actuating mechanism (sometimes 
electrical, sometimes chemical) actuated.  The balloon filling apparatus 
could be also be used to feed a water torch.
