She's got explosives called Enduring Freedom and Noble Eagle, and packages with the Statue of Liberty printed on top and a cardboard sign that says: "Make a Patriot of Yourself! Check out our New Items!"
Most of the stuff is illegal to shoot off in Florida.

"We don't regulate fireworks at all. We haven't issued any citations of that sort in at least two years," St. Petersburg Police Department spokesman George Kajtsa says.
"Technically, it's a misdemeanor. The maximum penalty would be up to a year in jail or a $1,000 fine.
"But we'd never arrest anyone for that. It would be more like a ticket, and we might confiscate the fireworks. But there's not much more we can do unless an officer comes right up on the person while they're actually shooting the fireworks. Other than that, as long as they sign that paper, the law is very difficult to enforce."
