Just got mine in the mail and I must say I am impressed. I've tried a number of brands and type of snappers: The old style paper snaps, plastic straw tube types, and hard pea kind. These are by far the loudest of any I have tried in the past. Definately worth the money if you are into snappers. These are similar to the type that come in what look like coffee straws plugged with plaster on each end, but these are longer, thicker and the tube is paper with plaster plugs on the end. Mine were 1 inch long tubes by 1/4 in diameter and look more like a short firecracker without a fuse. About twice the size of the type that come in coffee straws, which up until now I thought were the best available.

These are the best pop's around. I was happy to see you had them so I got some. I got them in the mail and already I've gone thru 15 of the 30 boxes. sometimes you get difforent brands in mail but it's just as good. Thanks Pyrocreations
