    Is it just me with little self control, or is everyone dying to count it up so far???

    Ive no idea how much there is in there - but when I picked dino up last week the bung fell out and it emptied all over the floor.... was good though,and didnt count it when I put it all back in.!!!!
    Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup
