Hey everybody, it's Ariannita la Gringa and welcome back to my YouTube channel.

In today's video, we are going to see the

biggest summer celebration in the United States, the 4th of July.

The 4th of July is America's Independence Day.

It's like the birthday of the entire country.

A long time ago, before the United States was a country, it was made

up of 13 colonies ruled by Great Britain.

The people in the colonies felt the rules from Britain were unfair.

So on July 4th, 1776, the leaders of the colonies signed a very

important document called the Declaration of Independence.

And ever since, Americans have celebrated this day with parades,

parties, and of course, fireworks.

We are at a fireworks superstore where they sell a bunch of

fireworks.

Let's go check it out.

Fireworks are small explosives that burst with colored lights and

loud sounds in the sky and they are often used for celebrations.

We are going to check out the cheapest fireworks as well as the

most expensive fireworks in this store.

The cheapest firework I found is this one.

It costs $1.68 and it's called a pistol popper.

But you don't just get one firework, you get two because it's buy one

get one free.

My favorite part about this store is the fireworks.

And they don't really look like fireworks, especially the packaging.

This looks like a sunflower.

And this one looks like a toy.

It's a tow truck.

But in fact, you have to be careful because there are fireworks in it.

These emojis are also fireworks.

And they are also buy one get one free.

Are you getting hungry? I sure am.

But wait, this isn't popcorn.

It's a firework.

Yes.

Everything here is fireworks.

Even this this huge pizza, you can get different slices.

Can you guys tell me what this is?

This is a power ball from Pokémon.

Yes, the anime that everyone used to watch as little kids, but it's not

an actual Powerball.

It's a firework.

And this is the fuse where you will light the firework and it'll explode.

Talking about Pokémon, this is Pikachu.

And if you want to play football at the beach, make sure to check out

the ball because this one has a fuse.

So, you don't want to throw this one.

Hi, what's your name?

My name is Cash.

How's it going?

Good.

How are you?

So, what do you do here?

Um, I usually stock shelves, help people out,

build shows, and whatnot.

What is the most expensive firework in the store?

And how much does it cost?

It would be one of the pro lines back there, and it's around $700.

And do people actually buy that?

Yes.

People come through and they'll buy thousands of dollars in fireworks.

I've seen $7,000 shows.

And what's the most expensive receipt you've ever seen?

I seen one yesterday for about 2,000.

Wow, that's a lot of money.

People Yeah, people spend a lot of money here, guys.

And how do people normally celebrate the 4th of July?

Usually go home, have fun with the family, shoot some bottle rockets

off, and then have a big show.

Great.

Well, thank you so much.

Yes, ma'am.

There are so many different kinds of fireworks in this store.

These are sparklers and they are handheld ones and they are great

for kids.

But be careful.

You don't want them too close to your face.

Do you want a chainsaw?

Well, this one's pretty cheap.

It's actually 30 bucks, but you can only use it once.

This firework costs $125.

This is my favorite firework, the screaming banshee.

But what happens if you don't know what the firework looks like?

Well, you can scan the QR code right here.

I'm going to scan it with my phone and it'll pull up a video of what

the firework will look like.

It's called a screaming banshee because it's very loud.

Hi.

What's your name?

Travis.

Can you tell me the different types of firework shows?

Sure.

There are little kids that want to be interactive and they want to be

involved in what you're doing.

So in that case, you may have seen snakes, but they haven't smoke

balls, tanks that can shoot at each other, sparklers in the fountains,

all that kind of stuff.

Stuff like this, okay?

You could call it a grandma show or a little kid show.

Okay?

Somewhere around early teen, they start going towards letting them

shoot stuff.

Then you're going to be giving them packs of firecrackers that they

can light themselves.

The Roman candles, you're interactive, you're holding it.

Next level is between the show and the teens and that's the mortars

where you drop the ball down in shoots up in the air big huge

explosion in the sky.

Then there's the show.

Everybody go over there.

I'm going to entertain you for the next 15-20 hour whatever it is.

So how much do people normally spend on a 10 to 15 minute

fireworks show?

It's not about time.

It's about quality.

The goal is when you're shooting fireworks when you get done you

don't want people going are you done?

You want people going, "Yeah, that was awesome. Do it again."

If you hired a professional person to come set your fireworks off,

they're going to spend about 30 to 40% of the budget.

So, if you got $10,000 budget, you're going to spend 30% of that in

the finale.

You should spend at least about half the time thinking about the

finale.

The rest of the stuff you just are setting off.

So, the finale is the most important part by far.

Absolutely.

I I can't preach it enough.

Finale.

Finale.

Finale.

But we found one of the most expensive fireworks in the store.

But it's not only one firework.

It's an assortment.

So, it comes in this big box.

This one costs $350.

And it's buy one get one free.

Now, it's time to check out over there.

And we are going to see how much everything costs.

$216.

$216.

Okay.

Yes.

And your autograph.

Do you want to keep that out and they'll check it at the door?

Thank you so much.

Have a good time.

Happy fourth.

I just bought all of these fireworks and I got a free one from the store

and everything cost me $216.

When the cashier checked me out, she said, "Happy 4th."

We don't really call this holiday Independence Day.

We say the 4th of July.

So to celebrate it, you can say to somebody, "Happy 4th."

Since we have our fireworks, now we have to go get some food.

Let's go to the grocery store.

The first step to any great Fourth of July party is food.

Now, we're inside a grocery store and as you can see, they have the

colors red, white, and blue.

Let's see what people are buying.

Well, of course, you can buy balloons.

And then over here, they have a table full of snacks.

These are hamburger buns, which you'll need them if you do make

hamburgers on the grill, as well as some potato chips, and even

some Fourth of July cookies.

You can buy a headband, or you can also buy an American flag.

This is an American flag, and it's pretty big.

You can also buy an umbrella because look, it'll be very hot and

sunny during this holiday, as well as a blanket.

But this is not any type of blanket.

It has fireworks on it.

Look at all of the colors.

And you also cannot forget about the drinks.

Look, there's beer.

They did an amazing job decorating this store for the 4th of July.

Look at the beautiful American flag.

Those are the 50 stars and the 13 stripes.

The whole store is decorated with red, white, and blue.

And even the flowers.

These are patriotic flowers.

These flowers remind me of the American flag.

This is the American flag because the flowers are red and white and

the pot it comes in is blue.

We just went to the fireworks store, but inside this grocery store,

they also sell fireworks, but they don't sell the big types of fireworks.

They sell small fireworks like sparklers.

And the other type of firework they sell here is a pop-it.

So it's like a little ball and when you smack it on the ground,

it'll make a loud sound.

You can also get a bouquet of flowers.

You can see the different colors, red, white, and blue.

And even the wrapping paper has the American flag on it.

It's so beautiful, and it costs $9.

Another flower you can buy is this beautiful rose.

It looks like they dipped it into blue sparkles and they painted it with

white stripes just like the American flag.

And this rose costs $5.

The most common tradition for the Fourth of July is having a

barbecue or where food is cooked on a grill.

So, I finally found everything I need for a barbecue.

We have some hot dog buns.

These are buns.

We have some Ruffles.

These are just chips.

Of course, we can't forget our hot dogs.

These are hot dogs.

And finally, I have my sauces, some ketchup, and mayo.

I just bought my groceries for the 4th of July,

and now I'm getting pretty hungry.

So, let's go to the lake and grill these hot dogs.

After a long day at the beach, everyone's pretty tired, but we're pretty

excited for the big fireworks show, which we're going to watch over

here by the lake.

Look at everyone sitting down.

People have chairs, golf carts, and we're super excited.

Now, we're going to start with one of the smallest fireworks.

This is a little popper and you just slam it on the ground.

Now I have to use a lighter to light this smaller firework, but it's a lot

bigger than the popper.

Let's see.

And it's going to all be on video.

These are firecrackers.

It's going to make a lot of noise.

Remember the Powerball we bought today at the store?

Well, I'm going to light it up.

So, I'm going to put it on the driveway.

And this will be a fountain, so it'll just spray out.

Let's see it.

I'm going to light up a rocket.

But I have to take off this orange safety cap.

There we go.

And then I can't hold this firework, so I'm going to put it in this pipe.

And then I just need a lighter.

I'm going to light it right now.

These fireworks are in a big box and they're a lot more powerful than

the other fireworks.

So, I'm in a parking lot.

The fuse is right here.

So, my friend is going to light it off.

I'm going to set it down on the ground and let's see the fireworks.

Okay, everybody, that's all for today's video.

If you guys liked it, go ahead and give me a like and subscribe.

And don't forget to wear your safety glasses.

And now, let's light up this machine gun.
