You know, the classic sticks of TNT and clock has always been used in cartoons for IEDs but I have never seen an actual real world example.

I wonder why that particular shape got so much popularity.

A watch or clock is probably what they would've used as an igniter/timer before electronics. It stuck around because of The Coconut Effect.

I'm inclined to think the appearance is based more on dynamite used in mining or other non-weaponized purposes.
I'm gonna blow your chrysanthemum up, believe it or not.
Literal meaning. The intended meaning (jokingly) for 爆菊 (lit. blowing up one's "chrysanthemum") is to screw someone or shove something up their ass so hard they have a torn anus.
