That's a quarter pound at half an ounce a pop. No, I haven't
weighed 'em, but (except for the "2000 miler") my kids and I
share the same patch load, and given Boy Scout proclivities,
remain likely to.

As others have noted, they *are* great conversation starters;
artifacts of our experience and subculture.
