Constant vigilance is the only thing that can save us from the creeping menace that is the marshmallow.

Marshmallows are scary scary beasts.
Especially on the electoral reform issue. Man...

I try not to eat connective tissue. It's a personal thing, but on camping trips as a kid, I claimed religious objections.

When I was deported to boarding school in 10th grade, the favorite snack among the other exiles was a sandwich made of American cheese, peanut butter and marshmallow fluff on Wonder bread. One night there were ants in one of the components, which we didn't realize until it was too late because the stuff was being consumed after lights out.
To this day, the sight of marshmallows makes me queasy.

Yes, you can add gerrymandering to the list of marshmallow crimes. Fight the man!
Mist-
Yes, like a blind date, marshmallows lull you in with their beautiful appearance and smooth texture, never letting you in on the horror of their origins...
Hearts-
Thank you for letting me know about yet another marshmallow crime. I shall add it to the list!

Just D,
Well, you can't say you weren't forewarned...

Marshmallows are fat-free and therefore can't possibly be fattening. ;)
