incredible expanding marshmallows

This is some of the most baffling footage. Ever. My aunt informed me of this phenominon... so when she told me I eagerly dragged out my mom's dusty FoodSaver to witness and capture it in action. Usually the removal of air makes things deflate instead of inflate... but because marshmallows are that weird, the air trapped inside the marshmallow pushes out causing it to expand. The important thing to remember here is that FoodSaver exists to remind us of the amazing and mystifying qualities of the marshmallow-- never to be forgotten.

I feel obligated to mention that the FoodSaver, although I support getting more mileage out of your groceries, just isn't that good of a solution. Everyone has them and no one uses them; it's a problem. I prefer the Handi-Vac... small enough to fit in any drawer, no cords, and makes irresistible slurping sounds. If it didn't require special bags it might be perfect. But alas, we must wait for the golden age of kitchen gadgetry.
