Put me in the "guys lets talk camp".
Say, for arguments sake, I did make the rule that flour (or sand - actually, there are 3e feats in the Sandstorm book - Sandskimmer? Sand Dancer? - that allow you to do EXACTLY this) that chucking flour in the guys face caused blindness.
Now they want to carry flour bombs.
Yeah, I'm going to put the cards on the table and say, "Look, guys, I know I made that ruling that one time, but, that was my bad. Not to take anything away from you guys, it was a cool idea and all that and I most certainly don't want to scotch that, but, if I let this become a standard attack, it's WAY overpowered. Look, causing blindness is a pretty high powered ability, far beyond your levels and it's a (encounter/daily) for (pick a class). Not something you should be able to do with 15 cp worth of ground grain."
The people I play with would be groovy with that and move on.
