Piggy Bank Firework Available
If you’re planning on having fun with fireworks today, be on the lookout for a piggy-bank shaped firework called the Thrifty Pig. We don’t know if this is the first firework based on piggy banks, but it may be the most elaborate piggy bank built for a flaming self-destruction. Written on the side is “Hogtown Savings Bank…A Penny Saved is a Penny Burned”. After the fuse is lit, expect some screeching sounds while the piggy circles around and spins it ears. The eyes will start glowing red, the tail will spin and finally gold color erupts from the money slot on its back. It would seem storing money in this piggy bank is not recommended.
