GHETTO MALLOMAR, THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE
Mar. 3rd, 2007 01:49 amWelcome to the world of the Marshmallow Pal, the Peeps' inbred bastard cousin.
These are them: The Marshmallow Pals. How can you pass up something that tries to out-peep the Peeps? |
|
Their colors aren't as vibrant as peeps, but they appear to be wrapped similarly, in a little cardboard container with plastic stuff around them. |
|
They are MARSHMALLOW WITH ICING DECORATION. |
|
But under the plastic-box combo is ANOTHER plastic wrapper. |
|
And then, once they're out of the second layer of plastic, they HAVE A PLASTIC TRAY. Man, these things could pretty much singlehandedly fill a landfill. |
|
This is the only female of the four candies, a pink bunny with flowers. I think she's like the hootchie Smurfette of the Marshmallow Pals. |
|
DELICIOUS |
|
Then there is a boy bunny, who looks like he's meant to be purple, but he's actually more...gray. Actually, he could be a she. Or a hermaphrodite. There aren't any real gender labels on this one. |
|
Then there is the first chick-duck thing. I think this one is supposed to be a duck because he is dressed like a sailor. A gay duck. I keep expecting him to start singing "June is Bustin' Out All Over." |
|
This one is my personal favorite, and I've named him Leroy. He's another chick-duck thing, but he has more of a chick beak than the gay sailor duck-chick. |
|
Leroy just has a nasty look on his face. I think he's the villain of the Marshmallow Pals |
|
Also he has a mean bowtie. You don't mess with Leroy. |
|
Biting into them, the frosting is kind of hard and the sugar tastes a little like food coloring. But on the inside, they are squishier than Peeps, which was a pleasant surprise. Here you can see the gooshiness of Smurfette!pal |
|
In keeping with the grand old tradition of Peep Research, I had to see how the Pals stood up to at least one of the classic Peep tests. No explosion in the microwave-- the Gay Sailor Pal melted nicely at under 30 seconds at 50% power in the microwave. The frosting stood up to the heat, however. |
|
I am happy to report that Melted Pal is quite delicious and they melt into a very consistent creamy goo, although I recommend a spoon for Melted Pal eating. |
|
I would consider biting the heads off the Marshmallow Pals again! No real replacement for Peeps, though. However, I may purchase another package to keep. I miss Leroy and his scheming ways. |

Date: 2007-03-03 03:43 pm (UTC)The whole thing was really a plot of Leroy's to get access to GSCD's inheritance. He never loved him.

In a dramatic twist, Hermaphrobunny comes in with a court order demanding that GSCD be kept on life support-- BECAUSE HE IS SECRETLY GSCD'S FATHER. MOTHER.
