You know, shooting them sounds like a better idea to me. :) I came to
the conclusion as a pre-teen that the only decent ones were the chocolate
ones, and I'd buy 1 or 2 rolls of those a year. Gave that up about 10
years ago.
(They have the advantage of being at least vaguely chocolate, but not
melting easily.)
