American Ingenuity

Over the past 150 years, which is roughly as long as Canada has been around, people have probably been sticking things into fires. Yes, finding sticks and sticking marshmallows into the fire in order to create the most delicious of snacks, the smore. Which is basically a melted and third degree burn causing marshmallow, preferably on fire, laid (or scraped) gently on top of a square of chocolate and some Graham cracker squares (which are basically square cookies). The marshmallow melts the chocolate, and magic happens in your mouth. Yet while Canadians have been doing this using the pointy end of a stick for decades, it look an American inventor (J. Tolf) to use the new and improved two stick smores delivery system (patent pending). In this system, one puts the pre-assembled smore (preferably maple marshmallow flavored for extra Canadian quotient) onto two sticks and hold thusly over the fire. Within moments, the treat is toasted, delicious and ready to eat.

Use extreme caution around fire and/or flaming marshmallows.
