Originally, they were made from the marshmallow plant, by the way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshmallow#History

But yeah, the modern-day formula is quite different and rather highly processed...

Marshmallow is basically cooked and whipped sugar.

Sugar and gelatin, which is made from Pig bones and hooves mostly.

So depends on your definition of natural.

Thank you for inviting me into your home, it seemed lovely. I gotta go home now and see if I can beat a thought from my own brain.

The idea certainly intrigues me.

Used to love them as a kid. Eventually decided I didn't like them enough to justify the sticky fingers.

Are you friends with an asshole beer can who takes you on interstellar adventures?

I've never tried this. Is it sweet?

parent

It's basically whipped corn syrup, so yes. It has the texture of a mousse, and a little bit oozy.

I've tried that. Enjoy having your mouth glued shut.

yup. I drink root beer three times a year maybe, and it's IBC because it's consistent and crisp not cloying.

pshaw, if we're talking bottles then it's Henry's or Virgil's.

A&W for root beer floats, Mug preferably over Barqs, but almost no fast food place around here have Mug. Barqs does have caffeine as well which is a nice pick-me-up

I’d rather have Dr. Pepper or cherry cola for the caffeine.
