Tired of all this pumpkin and plastic skeleton crap everywhere. Thanks, marketing ghouls rage-cry

What, are we going to start celebrating the 4th of July next? Might as well with the NATO membership I guess

    Americans buy fireworks for every conceivable holiday, but yes New Years is second to only 4th of July in random fireworks going off everywhere.

        I used to buy fireworks from TJ, Mexico and bring them back to SoCal for fun. They're way fuckin better, I've seen Americans go to Mexico to celebrate it there because it's better in TJ and Rosarito

        Buddy, there are five dedicated fireworks stores within 20 minutes of my house

        For comparison, there are two grocery stores in the same radius

        Yes, sometimes even at the supermarket. Although I think it depends on the state.

          In Finland, fireworks pop-up stands appear at supermarkets and malls in the week leading up to New Year's Eve and then they're gone

            Wait, you're Finnish and you're complaining about OUR dress up holiday? Isn't that the land of blackface Christmas?

              No, that's the Dutch. I also have nothing against Halloween, just being shilled witch-shaped candy for the entirety of October
