Whoa… I got a tiny bottle of those for my birthday three years ago in a baking kit. I ate the whole bottle over the course of two years. Wow… My friend Izzy became obsessed with them and eats them all the time..
Eek.

Since they’re used to decorate cakes and such, could we call them “Baker’s Balls”?

Ooo Ooo I remember. These things are old timers and they were called Heebie Jeebies or Heebie Beebies, something like that.

These originated in ancient Rome and were known as Metalicomodomusius. We now know them in their shortened version as bead sized Metalicondumus.

Normally one doesn’t see these things in a singular mode or node.

I remember those tasty morsels from back in the seventies, perhaps earlier. I believe they were known as the “Beady Bunch” at the time. There was a catchy tune as well as a TV show that also accompanied the treat, but unfortunately I don’t remember the lyrics. There was a blonde girl I think her name was Marcia, or something like that, that was the star of the show.

I thought that warning was a joke… I put in cake batter once and it was not very good… I guess a good name is “Delicious Death Orbs”
