If you want to scientifically impress your friends tomorrow (or look like a hoity toity smartypants), you can tell them what the color of fireworks really mean. See that explosion of electric white? That's white-hot metal flakes. Gorgeous red array? Strontium Carbonate. It's all about the chemicals, baby.
Every single time a new color pops up, fill them in. You'll probably sound like an insufferable prick but hey, it's not your fault average brain size-having people think the works of fire are just sparkly magic fairy dust in the sky. You got science in your noggin'. Use it.
