Good luck trying to find them online, I did a quick search and couldn't find any.
EDIT: forgot to mention you probably shouldn't attempt to make them

hey do any of you remeber the tiny paper bangers you could get as a kid, they were about the size of a pea and where filled with a cource powder, sif you do remember them do you know how to make them or there proper name so i could by some on-line

Basically a paper twist with a little gravel and a very tiny amount of a very sensitive primary explosive. If the grains of gravel bang together then the compound will fire. Definitely NOT for attempts at manufacture.

Yup, in my area they were called "POPPITS",and much fun and probably irritation they were,most shops on the sea front sold them during the holiday season,my school chemistry teacher told me the crystals inside the little paper wraps were iodine crystals soaked in bleach and called ammonia iodide,he must have seen the brain cells go into overdrive and quickly pointed out that all the time the mixture was damp it was stable but soon as it was dry leave well alone,as the teacher was a mad professor type i never got round to trying it out to see if he was bulls####ing me
He was bull*****ing you, if that was ammonium iodide it would have gone off as soon it was dried and dispatched from the manufacturer to the shop you bought it from, which i'll add, it's not commercialy manufacured because of it sensitivity.
" iirc the correct name is Ammonium triiodide,
legend has it, "" if you put some under a small piece of meat and placed a cake screen cover over it until it dried then removed the screen, as soon as a fly lands on it it would go off "
they actually contain silver fulminate as already said by MDH

The other compound everyone is thinking of is nitrogen triiodide. Although it is prepared with ammonia and iodine, the final product itself doesn't actually have ammonia inside

Count your fingers and keep it that way! Please don't mess with these. When properly made and packed they are a retail commodity, badly made and they will kill or just blow bits of you off.
