My memory must be different from yours. I remember eating it as a kid
and then feeling horrible. As a mater of fact, just last night my son
was talking about making smors at a friend's place and I said that I
never eat roasted marshmallows because one leads to another and by the
time I have a third I wish I had not had any... and then I mentioned
cotton candy being at the top of the list of things never to eat.
