Is it possible to create 'use-once' objects?

[Lillian Luponox]

I want to make an object that's much like a firework, it's dirt cheap, like 10 for 1L$, but on use it destroys itself completely, making itself unusable forever.

Is it possible to do this?

Sure it is, and it's done all the time.  You can take the easy route and just make your object Temporary (click the "Temporary" box while you have the object selected with your Build/Edit tool).  Once you do that, the object disappears about a minute later or, if you take it back to inventory, a minute after it is rezzed.  That method isn't foolproof, of course, because the user can UNcheck the box again, unless you have made your object No-copy/No-mod.  The other option is to add a bit of scripting code that calls the LSL function llDie().  You could trigger that with a timer in the script, or with a sensor that activates when someone touches, bumps into, or comes near to the object.  There are ways to get around that too, but it's a bit more elegant and offers you more flexiblity.

I had a pack of cigarettes once that worked like that.  Later, I bought non-vanishing ones!
