My husband said "nail clippings". I told him that was disturbing.
Paint brush bristles?
Coffee grains?
Flower petals?
Twist ties?
Pine needles?
Now my husband said the heads off of a bunch of the little green army guys. Equally disturbing.

JPDakota - it does sound a bit disturbed, but I do like his sense of humor. Dark but funny.
