TNT (Trinitrotoluene) Crates, also known as dynamite or TNT boxes, are an explosive used by pigs in the Angry Birds franchise, first appearing in the original game, Angry Birds. Once struck, TNT Crates explode, destroying objects within a short radius, sending things flying away within a larger one. TNT Crates can prove to be quite useful for the player since a large, fortified structure can fall when blown up. TNT Crates appear in most of the games, with few exceptions.
History
Angry Birds
In Angry Birds, they first appear in Theme 2-15 and if hit, they give the player 500 points and explode upon contact, they are useful if destroyed in a huge mass. They are wooden crates with a label written "TNT" on it.
On Birdday Party, there is the Exploding Cake. The exploding cake is a black cake with the words "TNT" on it. When hit, it does something a little different. Instead, it turns into frosting like balls and doesn't seem to do much damage from the TNT crate itself, though it has the similar idea.
