Val, along the lines of your dog food eating, I remember a shopping trip with my mum when I was a toddler. I ducked into a clothing rack to surprise her and found the back fastener of an anti-theft dye device on the floor. It was round, bright blue, and about half an inch in diameter, so naturally a Smartie. It flew out of my mouth as quickly as it went in.

What is to give light must endure burning.
