I read the Bible all the way through quite a few years ago and apparently I've forgotten quite a few bits: not slow but hilariously inaccurate.

Okay, at least one of those has two possible answers, depending on how you look at it.
I, of course, picked the wrong one.

Really fun stuff if you're 10—it looks like bits of colored gravel, but, when you put it in your mouth, it fizzes and pops! Sure it has a bit of flavor, but feeling stuff jump around in your mouth and shooting of bits and pieces is pretty cool.
