    I prefer "It's A Wonderful Life" but I understand the reference. :p

    The "crumblies" may be glue. People have been known to glue metal balls or glass eyes on the things as novelties.

    The crumblies are metallic

    probably just scrapes from the punch, then.

    Edited to add - if they are foil like, I've also seen those from plated ball where some of the plating was left behind when the bb fell out.
