Bad idea, it was the breadcrumb trail that resulted in Hansel & Gretel not being able to find their way home smile.

After reading the Grimms' fairy tale, I always thought it was odd that the breadcrumb trail made it into our culture as an idiom when the story so clearly showed such a trail was useless (the forest animals ate them before the kids were able to follow the trail home, resulting in their capture by the witch).
