Did they sell fireworks?

  The implication is that it’s dodgy, no-name brand fireworks, like the stuff you used to buy from Franklins.

    Was it really that bad? I recognise the packaging but I’m a bit young to fully remember the food

    Probably not. But it’s not a literal “These fireworks are from Franklins” it’s just the implication. Franklins was a budget shopping centre in comparison to Woolies or Coles.
    
    Where those guys would sell the name brand stuff, the draw of going to Franklins was for cheaper no-name brand (Franklins brand!)
    
    Like Black & Gold or Savings. You knew you were eating the knock-off Tim Tams.

    No, it wasn’t in most cases, nor was Jewel if you recall that. Our family would go to Jewel first for cheap stuff like canned toms and beans, then to other places for stuff the difference was apparent in.
    
    Jewel catfood is possibly the origin of my aversion to most fish

    Aren’t the vast majority of fireworks used here dodgy no name branded stuff? We don’t really have a particularly flourishing fireworks market, considering they’re heavily regulated compared to other parts of the world. Except the NT I guess, they probably have a better market since fireworks are legal to set off on territory day
