I admit, I am kind of fascinated with marshmallows. I actually used Martha Stewart's recipe and made a batch of homemade ones last winter. They were fun, but kind of disappointing...they're too rich to eat that many, but what exactly do you do with them? They're harder to give away as straight snack food, unless you're having a hot cocoa party. But what really bugged me was that if you do as Martha suggests and cut them out with a cookie-cutter, you have way more marshmallow left over, kind of outlining the cut-outs, than you actually have shaped. I froze the excess for a long time and finally threw it out.
That's all a long, weird wind-up to say that I got a huge kick out of this marshmallow gun from ThinkGeek. I'm surprised half the employees at Microsoft aren't running up and down the halls using these. And if we had one at home, our cats would be most delighted, as they view marshmallows as ultra-sticky toys.

Not sure how I missed this post. I've been clicking over everyday after reading FBOR.
I bought this last X-mas for my nephew. It works better than the PVC blow gun he had before, but the marshmellows tend to get stuck. And the part that holds the ammo tube on broke pretty quickly. It still works with a rubber band to hold the tube in place. He still pulls it out occationally. The dog loves it. Marshmellows everywhere.
