They had bottle rocket wars when I was in college in the late 70s, I stayed in with the door shut and after they ran out of them the hall was so smoky you could not see. These bottle rockets were much more powerful than the ones out nowadays.
Not for me, both of my parents worked since my dad was just starting his own business. They were both out early, now I was 13 at the time but I was able to get up and eat some pop tarts and catch the bus. His business did grow so all was good. This was in the 70s.
