Are you friends with an asshole beer can who takes you on interstellar adventures?

I've tried that. Enjoy having your mouth glued shut.

I've never tried this. Is it sweet?

It's basically whipped corn syrup, so yes. It has the texture of a mousse, and a little bit oozy.

What even is marshmallow. Seems unnatural.

Originally, they were made from the marshmallow plant, by the way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshmallow#History

But yeah, the modern-day formula is quite different and rather highly processed...

Marshmallow is basically cooked and whipped sugar.

Mallowed marsh dude. Basic science

Sugar and gelatin, which is made from Pig bones and hooves mostly.

So depends on your definition of natural.

Thank you for inviting me into your home, it seemed lovely. I gotta go home now and see if I can beat a thought from my own brain.
