Ah reminds me. My dad did smoke. And as tobacco was taxed differently he had once used one of these small sliding machines to put tobacco into “empty” cigarettes, sold separately.
He had stopped using these and was back to store bought cigarettes when I found his cigarettes and the machine.
I carefully pulled out all the tobacco from one of his Camel filters, and put it back in with the sliding machine - adding the tiniest firecracker I had.
Few days later he was sooooo angry. And the angrier he was the more I had to laugh.
It did explode in his ashtray when he was concentrating at his desk.
Oh fuck, thats was over 40 years ago and I still have to laugh like a madman.
Remembering him fondly, even when he was mad as hell at me the worst that would happen was him shouting.
I used to run my thumbnail across them. My fingertips were constantly black and smell like fireworks/hotdogs.
Pop the whole roll at once.
Light it on fire… or so a friend told me
I left mine on the carpet in my room. My mom came in to vacuum one day and thought it was just some scrap paper.
She was not amused by the 2 inch burnt mark it left on the carpet, or the shock it gave her.

I absolutely guarantee you he told that story to his friends with a huge smile.
We used the scrape them on the sidewalk with a rock
Is that why afterwards they put the explody paper in those plastic revolver rings?
Opening them, inserting all the powder into one. Russian roulette as a kid was a bit of a fucked up thing back then …
I thought that was just a different type, but you might be right. Not sure when each of those products were released.
