Note that these aren't all that common, but they are out there....

I'll have to check my notes to find out what the one I'm thinking of is called.
The Russian "Butterfly" (also called a "Parrot") FASCAM toepopper -- can't remember the nomenclature, is one like you're thinking of. Only takes a couple of hundred grams -- you're just breaking a vial of acid through a thin plastic shell when you step on it; the acid detonates the liquid explosives.
