But the kids once slipped me a tangerine-colored "Harry Potter Funky Flavored Jelly Bean" once that was PUKE flavored!

I'm gonna have to start calling you "The Big Dipper" or "The Dipper Kid" or something like that!
Personally, I would have (and did) acquire an adjustable-throw pistol powder measure after buying the first 6 dippers...
