Advantages: Cheap sugary snack

Disadvantages: No real interesting flavour

My mum and kid sister are currently going through five packets of these between them a week. Protests that this CAN'T be healthy or good lead to the packet being waved at me - apparently they're 98% fatfree and only 50 calories each.

They're not costly either - Tesco and Asda usually have them for under 30 pence a packet with six pink and whites per packet, although there was much angsting a few weeks ago when our local Asda dared to RUN OUT.

So, what are they? They seem very simple to me actually. Just a long flat pink and white marshmallow covered in fine sugar and pressed between two wafers to make a sandwich.

To my mouth they don't seem to have much of a flavour beyond "sweet and sugary" although experiments have shown that if you leave a packet out open for a day or two the marshmallow hardens to the point where it's quite chewy and interesting (or they vanish - maybe that's just my house).

Personally I don't see the crazy attraction, but apparently to some people they can be quite addictive. At least, that's what they evidence seems to show.

Summary: Very addictive - if you like that sort of thing
