Not quite the same experience, but I seem to recall being seven or 
so, and making a cake, possibly for Saint Patrick's Day, featuring 
large amounts of green food coloring...

Suffice it to say that this coloring, at least in that quantity, was 
not digested or metabolized completely by the victims, and various 
metabolic and digestive by-products were produced, of an extremely 
bright green color.
