I'm thinking Stan's girls could be so much more productive around the campfire with this item.

Cool, but here is the real question... do the individual marshmallows also rotate so they can be browned evenly on all sides? Wink

Oh my god. One good marshmellow and you're blinded for life.
I think Freddy invented this one.

Slinging marshmellows reminded me of a funny thing that happened when I was a roughneck in the oilpatch. During slow times we would wash and paint the rig. Of course, the paint would have settled and we'd have to spend a lot of time and elbow grease to stir it. Dale (a good friend) called me into the top doghouse (driller's office) to show me something. He'd taken a piece of thick welding rod and bent it into an L shape. Then he inserted it into an electric drill. I said I thought it wasn't a good idea but he persisted so I stepped outside to watch from a safe distance. Dale inserted the bent end of the rod into a gallon of paint. It actually worked great, until he hit the inside of the can with the rod. It punched a hole in the can, grabbed the can, and slung it at about 600 RPM. Dale and most of the inside of the office were coated in fresh blue paint which wouldn't have been bad except the chosen color for inside was white. I almost herniated myself with laughter. rofl
