I bought a little bottle of Cussons handsoap on sale called "Mallow Magic", and just noticed today that the label very proudly claims "Trusted Since 1869".

I chuckled to myself thinking "Well, surely they didn't have marshmallows back then..." Boy was I wrong.

The first marshmallows were prepared by boiling pieces of root pulp with honey until thick. Once thickened, the mixture was strained, cooled, then used as intended.[4][5][6]
