Don’t forget the coconut!

And I’m not arguing about the decision to group kool-aid and fruit punch but leave grape juice out…

Nope, not arguing… 😃

Kool-aid and fruit punch are sugar water, juice is juice.

Nuh uh. We bought only 100% juice fruit punch (minute maid, juicy juice etc).

But like I said… I’m not arguing! 🙂

Fun feud! (throws marshmallow at ReBo)

#9! Best I’ve done in a long time. If I’d hit that last one I’d have been way higher. _(Grumble, grumble)_

I just can’t beat swampbear to save my life.

I seriously thought I’d be in the bottom third on this one. Sheesh. And one good answer away (#10) from coming in third. Alas.

I see him on FB a lot. He used to post Giraffe boards, but has dropped off there too.

That 29 people voted “marshmallow” for “Name a food that wouldn’t hurt at all if you got hit by it” is very surprising to me, but I guess it makes sense. 'Twas a fun feud.

I have news for those 29 people. A friend of mine got hit in the eye by a marshmallow and it ended up swelling up shut and he came very close to going into shock. Couldn’t go into work for a day or two.

oh, did I mention that at the time it was a flaming marshmallow?

No, but I just assumed that all the food in a food fight would be on fire.

Well, it would ignite better _after_ being infused with vodka.

Well, remember #5: 5. Name a food that you’d never throw at anyone because it’s too tasty to waste.

…although Molotov Watermelon would make a good concept album, if not a band name.

Labor Day weekend at the cottage. Cousin has a bunch of his buds up. We’re all sitting around the bonfire drinking, roasting marshmallows; ladies making smores. One guy’s marshmallow catches on fire and he jerks up the stick. Marshmallow goes flying across the firepit and hits my friend right in the eye. Kinda put a damper on the rest of the night.

Y’know, a flaming marshmallow hitting someone in the eye is one of those things that’s a lot funnier in the abstract than in the specific…
