Barbecues are fun... to a point. The desserts at barbecues always seem to me cold, creamy, tasteless crap.

No longer. You get an invite to a barbecue that you have to attend? Take along the new MG200 (Marshmallow Grenade 200 cu. ft).

Comes time for dessert, you just remove the pin and roll it onto the barbecue plate. It's fairly reasonable to expect there won't be anyone sitting on the thing, so it's going to be safer than most other areas.

FWHOOOHFF!

Huge pile of marshmallow ensues. Second stage of the grenade is the ethanol content detonating.

PHOOMFF!

Huge pile of toasted marshmallow ensues.

BYO spoon, spatula, whatever.

Description (displayed with the short name and URL.)







       In local news, a family of 4 and 3 of their friends were killed and dozens more seriously injured today in the explosion of UnaBubba Industries' prototype "Marshmallow Grenade" at a neighborhood block party...

BinaryCookies, Aug 24 2002
  

       You got it. I posted this idea after putting up with the noise emanating from my neighbours' party today and tonight. They hired some sound equipment. In order to get their money's worth they played rap at about 110 decibels (Yes, really) from 2pm until 12:30am when the police finally arrived.   

       It was not marshmallow that I had in mind, at first.

       But if I'm camping can I put it on a 20 ft pine trunk leaning over the camp fire?

       Do you do them in chocolate ? Doesn't matter, I'll take four dozen - size Giant, whatever flavor. And a side order of burn lotion.

       Fruit Flavoured Marshmallow Grenades!   

       Did I just type that with a "u" in flavored? Holy crap, I've been on the bakery too long...

       Flavo(u)red. A(e)(i)r/o/plane can drop Mississippi Mud Pies
*Thump* *Thumpa* *Thump* *Thumpity* *Thump* "INCOMING!" *Thumpa* FWHOOOHFF! *Thumpity* "MUD *Thump* MISSILES!" PHOOMFF! "AAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE"

       And he doesn't like Ambrosia Waldorf Salad. Amazing...   

       Why do I keep having Ghostbusters flashbacks...

RayfordSteele, Aug 24 2002
  

       Yes, I like this a lot. A variation could involve mounting the marshmallow grenade on the end of a model rocket. Set the grenade to be triggered by the ejection charge on the rocket engine and create your own sugary clouds. Launch in the direction of the local school and watch the mayhem unfold...

       //And he doesn't like Ambrosia Waldorf Salad//   

       I just can't see myself putting marshmallows in salads. I believe you put them in breakfast cereals, as well?   

       Kids in a playground, under a toasted marshmallow rain. (Reminds me of the time I boiled a tin of condensed milk to make caramel on a Scout camp. We were called away on a night exercise and I forgot about it. Twenty minutes later I heard a dull THUMP! of an explosion. I knew what had happened. When we came back to the camp our whole campsite was festooned in caramel string... bloody ants!)

       I like it. I would pack some hershey kiss "shrapnel" in the grenade as well. Then pass out some graham crackers to the guests and you have instant 'smor dip.

       I used to eat Marshmallow Cre(a)m(e) straight out of the jar as a child. If I recall, that's how I discovered mayonaise. Been hooked on both ever since.   

       In ambrosia you need the marshmallows to balance out the crunchy texture of the other ingredients.   

       The little sugar pellet things they put in breakfast cereals and hot chocolate don't really count as marshmallows in my book. They're not supposed to crunch.

RayfordSteele, Aug 26 2002
  

       Model Rockets...what interesting memories...If I do recall, a couple of years back, a slightly misplaced fin caused it to fly up, flip, and hurtle back down to earth onto a concrete parking lot.   

       *CRUNCH*

       Recall the goo at the finale of Ghostbusters - that's the kind of explosion suggested by the idea.
Imagine, if you will, The Southern Alps covered in Marshmallow Creme.

thumbwax, Aug 27 2002
  

       Marshmallow covered Alps. That would be worth snowboarding naked.

       Edit - Off-topic nature ramble has been removed, for the sake of succinctness.

       (evil deviation to set this off at family reunion...)
