A marshmallow on a twig, you say? How innovative is this? Haven’t thousands of campers already experienced the simple pleasure of roasting marshmallows over an open fire, you say? Look closer, because the twig is made of plastic and the marshmallow stuck at the end of it is actually a lollipop! Imagine enjoying this treat and having people ask you why you’re sucking on a yucky-looking stick. Then you’d smile mellowly, pop the end out of your mouth, and show off your marshmallow-shaped lollipop to your astonished friends!

Since the “marshmallow” is actually hard candy, I don’t know how well this would actually roast. Actually, it would probably melt before it turned brown and crispy. And there’s no easy way to concoct a s’more out of it. But it’s a marshmallow lollipop, and probably much more convenient (and safer?) than trying to chomp down on a real marshmallow stuck on the end of a dirty old twig. The real question is: does the lollipop taste like a regular marshmallow or a toasted marshmallow? If we get our hands on one, we’ll let you know.
