Kids do the darndest things! I've been tempted to try the sugar cubes with honey, but have never gotten around to it. When I was little, I figured that a slice of Kraft cheese with margarine on it might go well together (since they were both in that color region of the spectrum -- the margarine we had was very yellow in colour), but my mother did not approve when she saw me trying it. I read that when my grandfather (father's father) was little, he wanted a toy wagon, but the only box the right size in the work room held grease. "Well, it will have to be emptied. I start removing the grease and wiping it under the table, but there is such a confounded lot of it." (translated from Low German by my father) He was caught with grease all over everything in the work room, including all over himself. His mother turned him over her knee. All he wanted was a toy wagon (http://www.geocities.com/WiebeJHLFamily/Father/bookcovs.htm).
