Small bombs? It sounds a bit silly, but I don't know, there's no reason that can't be an argument. You might sound more credible if you just call them "explosives", though.
[this should not be funny but in fact, he's snerk-laughing because yeah.]
I don't know how "they ate an explosive small enough that their stomachs exploded" sounds any more reasonable than "the candy had small bombs inside them", but probably.
"Throw things at the wall and see what sticks", right? Or negotiating by starting with an absurd demand, knowing it's going to be rejected. It's not a bad tactic at all.

Using even slightly more technical phrasing immediately improves the perception of anything you say. Although there's not much helping that, I admit.
