they've got to exist in europe. after all they are named after the polish inventor Georg Marzmallov who developed the formula for gelatin in the late 1600's, which is what marshmallows are, besides sugar, by observing the composting patterns of dead horses, particularly their hooves, pasing by in the streets of warsaw, the dead livestock capital of the western world at the time. they were so popular that they became part of the triangle trade that took place in colonial america in it's beginning years. slaves were shipped out of africa to the american colonies, the rum went from new england to eastern europe, and the bastard shipping barons in africa were payed in marshmallows for exporting natives. need more proof? ever heard of the marshmallow act of 1769 that prompted the coining of the phrase "no taxation without representation?" everybody knows that the colonist were just looking for an excuse to fight, but what else were they supposed to put in their tea? it wasnt until the gold rush when disenfranchised miners brought africanized honey bees back east of the mississippi from new mexico, and thus bringing about the "honey goodness craze" that eventually made it to the deep south and cause lynyrd skynyrd to write the song "sweet home alabama."
