way to elementary school (don't judge me) and the fuse went like lightning and it blew up in my hand. My finger was numb for 3 days, and the fingerprint on the tip of my index finger was scrambled permanently. Weird. Of course, I kept all that to myself. We always heard, "M-80s are actually a quarter stick of dynamite" from older kids. I never even saw one, but I was scared as hell of them. I just grabbed a flashlight to check my finger again, ha, but I can't really tell now.
