1. The key word is 'weaved'.

'Potential or stored energy in the motionless weaved sticks is released and turned to kinetic energy when a catalyst is applied.'

However, the action is fascinating! (Even if it took more energy to place the sticks than was released by the firecracker.)

5. Who's gonna clean that up?

My first thought.

6. My first thought was they look like tongue depressers

My second thought was, after freezing the video near the beginning, what could be the purpose of that one tan popsicle stick that is sticking out over the ledge, and not weaved into the rest.

8. I just finished

eating my 203rd popsicle in hopes of replicating that feat!



^ Not so much scared, more brain freeze.
