    The emoticon and the OMG made me uncertain if you were being serious or sarcastic, thanks for the clarification. I wanted not to ascribe anything, hence asking.

    There are recipes for homemade marshmallows that are generally made in a pan and cut into squares rather than the cylinder shape of most store bought marshmallows. Some shops sell the square "fancier" ones.

    Marshmallow root exists but you don't just find them in the wild as an edible food. People just buy them for camping trips.

    I don't know how to respond as I can't figure out what you're doing with the tone.

    Idk what they're selling as "American Marshmallows" it's possible they're stale or that they're different than what I'm used to or you're used to. I think fresh/homemade ones are better without heating, but it's hard to beat the store bought round ones for roasting on a stick

    You don't usually put them in the oven. More light them on fire or roast them over the flame. Even doing it over a stovetop it takes under a minute. Not sure how I'd cook them in an oven

    In addition to other excellent points some of this comes out of the "ok boomer" trend (which is now dead IMO) which was less blaming anyone and more the youth being annoyed at and annoying older people at the same time.

    It sort of fell into people getting upset that they weren't like other boomers which is just the whole "not all ____” thing. And much like "6-7' being annoying is the point.

    It's like Kristi Noem. We know the next person also sucks, possibly more. But we're taking our moment of "Yay, someone who sucks got fired" first. Then you move on to the next fight.

    I love stupid legal shit like this. Also, maybe the British do it wrong but I absolutely use my fingers for roasted marshmallows because I'm not putting the molten marshmallow in my MOUTH either

    I don't think the third tier type coverage is any better for me, brand name is the same cost as GoodRx now so it's probably at that highest tier. Ugh.

    It's worth taking into account that the American public's tolerance for American deaths - while absolutely hypocritical by dividing people into "us and them" - is also likely correlated to not wanting the war to begin with. I don't want service members to die because I don't think this was a fight we should have gotten involved in. (I also don't want anyone else to die. ) We caused the strait to be mined, I suspect that we're not likely the solution and some mix of business and diplomacy will be.

    But no I don't see the point in throwing American lives and money at it any more than I did in the first place.

    It's almost an hour! This is legit. I'm so excited. The memes about the On a Bus "season 1" were pretty hilarious because if nothing else fans can commit to the bit.

    Yeah but that sort of joke isn't funny to me anymore. Never mind that the previous poster did not seem in on it. Hence not being a fan of the genre.
