Yeah, that's a good sound.

Orange Drop is the name for Sprague's metallized polyprop caps. They are a
ridiculously bright orange.

...and yes, I remember "stardust" candy. I'm all about noisy fizzy squirting

was years ago) we got a hold of some pop rocks. I swear, I thought there was
an avalanche in my head.
