: I was at the US wings site and I was looking at the whips. When I got to the bottom of the page, it metioned that the "crack" is actualy a small sonic boom! The tip of the whip actualy travels faster than the speed of sound!

It's created by the tapered shape of the whip - a given amount of energy being moved through an ever narrowing space building up to a BANG! Phew! Now I need a cigarette!
