Burnt Marshmallow Lovers, Let's Rise Up and Stand Proud!

Started by Dan , author of Dad Does 7/24/2012 9:39:55 AM

I'm done hiding. I can no longer pretend to be someone that I am not.  I am going public... I Like Burnt Marshmallows!  Actually, I went public with this during one of our live chats and I was immediately branded as an outcast and a deviant.  I was attacked with chants of "lightly brown marshmallows rule".  For a while it looked like I might need to change my number and hire additional security due to the death threats...

Okay, maybe that is a slight exaggeration, but it was clear I was in the minority on the liking burnt marshmallows thing.  This past weekend we were doing Smores and it suddenly hit me why I like burnt marshmallows...apparently I am the family garbage man.  Everyone else needs their marshmallows just perfectly brown, if one gets to dark or horror of horrors - catches on fire - just give it to Dad to eat.  I have spent so many years eating everyones burnt marshmallow, as a defense mechanism I have evolved to prefer them.  Isn't evolution great?  I am also growing a tail...not sure what that is about.

Anyway, do we have any more burnt marshmallow fans out there?  Let's join together, rise up and stand proud.  Maybe we can organize Occupy Campfire - where we will occupy a campfire and burn marshmallows!

Who is with me?

Yes, I too am a burnt murshmellow lover. Something about slipping off that burnt layer, eating it, and returning it to the fire to get burnt again, and again.... ;-)

Thanks Marianne - we now stand together, united in our love of burnt marshmallows!  You are right - would love to see someone try to slip off a "perfectly brown" layer!

Who else is with us?

Dan, 

Please devolve back to your lightly toasted self. Burnt marshmallows should be a crime. I wouldn't even offer my burnt ones to a loved one, I just throw them into the fire where they belong! 

I bet you like your hot dogs burnt too!

Toni

Hey Toni,

It's a new day.  The minority is the new majority.  Wake up and smell the burnt marshmallows.  Look around - David, Marianne, Karen - they are all with me.  Join us...don't be scared!

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree Dan.  We were camping this weekend and out of about 40 of us, only 2 liked nasty, burnt marshmallows.  The light, golden marshmallow rules!!  I'm with you Happy;)

I'd take it a step further.  Not only do I like my marshmallows burnt, but I also love my fire roasted hot dogs just a bit crisp.

I like my hotdogs to be crispy, but marshmallows... Nope!  I am a gooey and golden gal :)

Laurie,

Oh, you are misreading the data...I would guess 38 of the people liked burnt marshmallows but you are so intimidating with your zealous hatred of burnt marshmallows that all but 2 of them were afraid to speak the gospel truth.
