Many weeks ago I bought a bag of giant pink and white marshmallows.They were huge, Ivy would love them because they were pink, I would love them because it was a marshmallow but bigger, it was going to be great. I saved them and saved them and finally we roasted them, they looked awesome.  It was so exciting!Then Ivy bit into hers.And in the words of Ivy it was “Not very good.”

After we got over the disappointment (the white ones were not any better) we threw our half eaten marshmallows in the fire. Ivy tried to throw her own pink glob in and it turned into a classic can’t get the sticky thing off my hands problem.  For my Mom and I watching her move it from one hand to the next while slowly getting covered in pink sticky goo almost made up for the disgustingness of the flavor.

Fortunately, never one to be short on sweet treats I had a spare bag of normal marshmallows on hand. Next time you are in the store, skip the giant pink marshmallows and go for the regular ones. Unless you would like the amusement of watching your kid turn into a giant sticky pink mess. Then I recommend having a lake nearby for the cleanup!
