Each of these pea-sized devices contains a few grains of sand that have been coated with a tiny amount of impact-sensitive silver fulminate (AgONC), all twisted together in a piece of tissue paper. When thrown on a hard surface (or squished between the fingers), the friction of the sand against the silver fulminate causes the latter to ignite with a quick, loud "pop".
