Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Every Labor Day Weekend, I go off with some friends to a family camp down on the Chesapeake Bay. The first night we get there, the camp staff always lights a big bonfire for us and we stand around toasting marshmallows and making s'mores. Part of the fun of it is working to find that right angle and that perfect pocket of heat that will slowly brown the marshmallow instead of setting in ablaze, leaving you with a charred outside and a still-cold inside. I like that roasting marshmallows over an open fire is an activity that has been mostly unchanged for years and is one that requires little pre-planning or special equipment.
This is why I'm a little perplexed by this gadget I spotted being advertised today. It's called a Spinmallow and it is a motorized marshmallow toasting device. I think it's a clever idea and yet I can't help but feel sort of disappointed by it, that we can no longer just find a find a serviceable stick and rotate it ourselves.
What do you all think? Useless gadget or brilliant brainchild?

My hands have cramped into disfigured claw-like versions of their former selves from all the marshmallow turning I've done over the years. If only I had had one of these in my youth. Now I can sleep easier knowing that people everywhere will be spared the rigorous pains of turning their own marshmallows.

It's a brave new world.
