Jet Puffed

Janet Kuypers
8/24/12

One of the things on sale
        at the front of the store
is Kraft “Jet Puffed” Mallows.
        They’re big marshmallows,
and as a vegetarian, I avoid
        candies that use meat product
to change the texture of sugar,
        but I had to look at the label
and see if there was any reason
        they called them “Jet Puffed”.
I mean, did they use some sort of
        high-powered air compression
to add to their puffiness, or
        are there jets on the package?
I didn’t think so, but it figures
        that there companies will do
anything to mass-market
        all this junk down our throats.
