So, here's what I did:

I bought a bunch of champagine poppers from the doller store.
I took the top off a few of them.
I took the little paper streamers out of them.
I put about half a teaspoon of flour into each of them, and put the top back on.

So when they are set off (by pulling the little string in the back), a burst off flour comes out, and looks kinda cool.

Anybody have ideas on how I could use this?

Please don't get on my case about the whole saftey deal about pyrotechnics, because there is less than 0.2 ounces of gunpowder in each, and they are perfectly legal. (When in their normal state, alll they do is make a loud pop).

Sounds like they might make good bullet hits. Maybe hide them just barely behind a corner or something so the flour shoots out like a bullet ricochet.

I'm not trying to get in you face here jstern, but did you know that flour burns when in a dust form? Just that I wouldn't use it near a naked flame, that's all.
