Trivia: What Fourth of July favorite was originally called wunderkerzen?
American flag clothes
Party poppers
Decorative bunting
Sparklers
The correct answer is Sparklers
So why is this answer correct? : Sparklers were invented in Germany in the 1850s. It was a simple process of dipping a thin wire into a paste made from gunpowder and iron. The German word for the invention was “wunderkerzen,” which translates to “sparklers.” Sparklers were on exhibit with the German convoy at the World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893, and within a few years, they were being produced in the United States.
