Product of the Week - Jet Puffed Marshmallow Creme

This is the start of a series of posts on strange products we discover over here in the US. We'll start with the weird stuff first.

This week we're previewing Jet Puffed Marshmallow Creme. According to the official taster it is "not bad" and then he proceeded to demolish the first jar. Another jar was purchased and eaten within 2 days. The third jar (upgraded to the 13oz size) is being finished as this is being typed. Like the majority of items over here, corn syrup is the main ingredient followed by sugar, water, egg whites, and artificial flavours and colours. The label also states that this product contains no calories from fat.. The benefit however is far outweighed by the calories gained from the sugars...

When mixed with pistacios and cranberries it is somewhat reminiscent of nougat.

So although this item was purchased in jest to begin with it has now become a staple grocery item. Gross!
