So for the record and the few people whom may still not know; ( I suppose it's to be expected in the world of webcomics where people are continually coming in at random points. ) the chicles are fully modeled off of the chewing gum known as chiclets and are hence not marshmallows or teeth ( Much as I know some of you want me to say otherwise so you can be right. ). That being said, marshmallows are an entirely different species. A very tasty and camping-oriented species.
On only one occasion have I ever met someone who did not know what a s'more tasted like, ( I didn't know you could grow up in America without trying one. ) but for those who may not know or live in backward non-marshmallow roasting countries ( Like Washington DC maybe. ) they are the camper's greatest food source. Two graham crackers with a slice of chocolate and a marshmallow kept me alive through many a week at camp during which the food was believed to have been left over in the refrigerator from the Jurassic era and was simply reheated with each new camp ( I'd imagine it would have caused the camp to shut down if someone had actually eaten the food as there would have been thousands of people coming to worship their godly intestinal tract. ). So as a result of being too terrified that some prehistoric form of algae might be living in the chicken casserole, the vast majority of us learned to subsist on the combination of sugary chocolate, pressed cardboard-like graham crackers and unidentifiable white goo that makes up a marshmallow ( Whatever it is, it's got to have been less toxic than the food they served. ) The others learned to subsist on a combination of anorexia, dirt and whatever bugs they could find in the windowsills, and could probably have started careers as super models by the end of the week. I believe that this may be one of the major contributing factors in why my generation is so riddled with Attention Deficit Disorder. We survived on sugar for too long and as a result we've been on a years long sugar-high that is just starting to end ( Which is my explanation for the poor performance of the US economy of recent and the generation's obsession with Mountain Dew and energy drinks. ). As such, I fully believe that we should either ban summer camps as an institution or force their cooks to go to culinary school until they can whip out a 4 star meal ( I would demand 5, but you have to be reasonable. ) with nothing more than a pocket knife, one can of pork and beans and whatever they can manage to kill with a sharpened stick.
Either that, or just let them eat the cooks, because we've got to be running a deficit with China on marshmallows.
