Hello pyrotalk. I'm in Japan right now and I just bought some party poppers. They are shaped like cones. I have a picture of them. But for some reason it is not uploading

The picture still isn't loading but, i was reading the label of it and it contains a pyrotechnic charge of about 30milligrams of powder. I'm not sure if its black powder or flash, because I don't think that any handheld device would contain a firecracker level of flash, but I've also never seen a party popper that uses black powder

When posting pictures on pyrotalk discussion forums, it is easier to post your picture on a picture site then copy the link and post it. To upload pictures they have to be a small size.
I am sure it is exciting to be in Japan, please get some pictures of fireworks stores if you can. do the party poppers look like this?

They do look like those, but the label is very different. Also currently in Japan, fireworks are off season, so all I can find are small novelty fireworks. Last year when I visited Japan, at almost every supermarket they had many assortments by cannon brand and horse brand, and a few odd Chinese brands I didn't recognize. It seems like in Japan, they have no year round stores like they do here in the US. The poppers I found were made by Saftey fireworks, but on the package, instead of 0.01g it said 0.03g.

So I translated what the label on the popper said, it said easy clean confetti. I set it off and the confetti came out, and it stayed attached to the popper. The strings of confetti stayed attached to a plastic thing that was propelled out, but the plastic holder stayed attached to the cardboard cone. Never seen anything like it.
