S’Mores Wars.

Here's a quick article on two of the many S'Mores Makers that've hit the market recently. You don't need a campfire to have your grahamy choco marshgoodness these days -- all you need are some sterno cups and a low-watt bulb. Featured in the article is the "Hershey's S'Mores Maker," a kiddy device, and the "Casamoda Indoor/Outdoor S'Mores Maker," a machine meant for people much better than you or I.

If I want S’mores, all I have to do is go to Hannaford and get the supplies, shear off a branch from the silver maple, light a fire in the fireplace and let ‘er rip!
Yes, I live in a mobile home and it has a fire place… with real fire, not that cheap paper fan fire!

My sister and I tried a microwave for fire-free S’Mores. It worked a little too well: we had to fiddle with the time a few times, but everything turned out nice and hot. Could you use the adult S’Mores maker for other things, like a PuPu platter? Seems silly to spend so much on an appliance that only cooks one type of thing.

Matt, where did you get the Casamoda s’more maker? I’m hungry now and I kinda want to see what else the thing could cook.

Chestnuts roasted by HungryHungryHippo @ 09/06/2004 1:03 PM

haha matt! did you actually buy both!?….I want one:(

Chestnuts roasted by Cameron Lynch @ 09/06/2004 1:50 PM

now I want some smore. DAMMIT!

Chestnuts roasted by jajaka @ 09/06/2004 2:05 PM

Mmm, Smores. I’ve never had real smores. The closest is those Pop-Tarts.

I hate them (too rich and sugary), but I love making them the old-fashioned way. Most people I know like them golden brown (texture like sun), so that’s how I always make them, and I must say I typically do a pretty good job.

There IS something do nice about doing them the old fashioned way. I recall a time towards the end of last Spring semester in which my buddies and I went down to the Fraser River (a river in the Vancouver Area) and sat on the sandy bank around a fire, making smores, drinking beers, smoking pipe, and discussing various things. I had a great time with some of my best friends.

Did anyone else notice, on the pic that displays the light bulb of the Hershey’s S’More Maker, the word ‘Damp Cloth’ looks like Pimp Cloth?

Just askin’!

psyKlone-yer name is Nate too, eh? Didn’t know there was another Nate on here. Anyway, good observation.

Oh, and a correction for my post of reminiscience (is that a word?):

"do nice" = "so nice"

I can understand kids wanting something like this to play around with (I mean, I know I want one, and I’m 22), but what about the yuppies?

It’s like the motorized corkscrew that costs close to $50 they sell in Sharper Image catalogues. WHY?

Yuppies are like kids. Kids want useless crap but they don’t have any money. Yuppies have too much money so they buy useless crap.

It’s like the hotdog cooker my family recieved from a relative a few years back. We’ve used it maybe twice since then.

That Casamoda S’mores maker can be bought at Lowe’s Home Improvement Centers – I know, I work there and was amazed when I first had a glance at it!

~Want S’more?
Some more of what?
No, S’mores!
"The Sandlot" – love that movie!

You spent way too much on that fancy cooker. I saw it today at Famous Barr for a mere 13.95.
That’s the beauty of a gas stove. You can score a smore any day of the year.

This article rocked! Very reminiscent of old X.E. stuff.

yay matt!

I must admit that i am more of a fan of "fake" marashmallows and real ones. I consider those hard, crunchy marshmallows you get in lucky charms to be "fake" marshmallows. S’mores only tasted good when i was a child, nowadays that much sugar would make me sick. For example, I’m sure you people have heard of Zebra Cakes…" A delicious yellow cake with creme filling covered in white icing and trimmed with fudge stripes.
Twin-wrapped 10 to a carton." As desribed by the Little Debbie website. I never understood why they were twin wrapped because by the time i reached the second cake I wanted to vomit all over myself. It was like being force fed sugar in some twisted kind of torture. Same goes for cream sticks you can buy at the bakery. The cream filling they use for it is all grainy and ultra sugary and just tastes like shit.
Also I would have to agree with Matt on the expression on that kid’s face. Although his expression doesn’t compare to the facial expressions of the monsters on the Yipes! game box. http://www.x-entertainment.com/messages/monsters/4.html for those who aren’t familiar with yipes! and hey, it relates to halloween somewhat so it works.

correction: I HATE "REAL" MARSHMALLOWS

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 09/06/2004 5:17 PM

heyy matt, do you think the s’more makers could make a cameo in chia plot (some kind cobra weapon perhaps)

Chestnuts roasted by bogeyb @ 09/06/2004 5:17 PM

hey* ich bin ein dum

Chestnuts roasted by bogeyb @ 09/06/2004 5:21 PM

Won’t you develop a cancer from those burnt marshmellows? They look icky.

Chestnuts roasted by Mark Dark @ 09/06/2004 5:32 PM

I have to admit, I think I’d rather just wait until my dad has a barbecue and roast marshmallows that way. These things just seem too darn complicated. : 0 p

Chestnuts roasted by starwenn @ 09/06/2004 6:43 PM

IMO, it’s not S’mores unless you’re using real sticks over a real fire.

Here’s some links for those of you highly anticipating the soon to be released Star Wars trilogy on DVD

I was hoping for a nutritional count on those bad boys. You mentioned how bad they are, but never gave us any numbers. Like today, I picked up a few snacks for my kids for a trip to the playground. I bought six different things, all from The Dollar Tree – peanuts, Fritos, Duplex cookies, fruit snacks, pop-tarts and Teddy Grahams. If one were to ingest one serving of each of these snckas, one would have consumed 960 calories. It’s enough to make you choke. Needless to say, I only let the girls have a few of each thing, and I made them pace themselves, w/ a ton of running around like maniacs to brun some of that shit off. I felt like I was being dorta cool by letting the, eat all of this junk food for once, and then I realized why they call it junk food. I never added up the fat grams. I bet I could ahve fried an egg in the amount of fat in those six servings.
