If you want a solid, reliable performer that brings the noise, Thunder Strike is a great option.
This is a 1.3G heavyweight from Bright Star that packs a serious punch. With 720g of powder divided into 48 shots, you are getting nice, big bursts rather than weak pops. It delivers a substantial "thud" on launch and a satisfying break in the sky.
It runs for just under a minute, cycling through a sequence of vibrant red, green, yellow, and blue tails that burst into matching stars with white strobe. It’s loud, it’s colourful, and it offers a great duration for a stand-alone cake.
