Marshmallows Have a History!
It’s National Marshmallow Day so I thought i would do a little research on Marshmallows. Sure didn’t expect to learn so much!
Who knew there was such a history to this sugary treat.? Marshmallows actually had their first start back with the ancient Egyptians. Of course, from the sounds of it has no resemblance to what we have today. As early a 2000 BC The treat was considered very special and it was reserved for gods and royalty.
Marshmallow was made from the mallow plant that grows wild in marshes. The term marshmallow was derived both from the native home of the plant and the plant name. Mallow is native to Asia and Europe and has been naturalized in America. The Egyptians squeezed sap from the mallow plant and mixed it with nuts and honey. Imagine what it may have looked like then.

Sex & Halitosis 
Halitosis is a big word. It has nine letters and four syllables whereas sex is not a big word. It has three letters and only one syllable. But although they differ in size and meaning they often tend to go together. Or at least they don’t go together.

I know this chick and she’s cool, nice and hot but she has a serious case of halitosis. What’s a subtle and nice way to say this? It doesn’t have to be subtle but needs to be nice.
Well Perplexed, this can be tough. I think she should be told because she may not know. Contrary to popular belief you can’t smell your own breath easily and she may not know. First of all, offer her a BreathGemz or two. Sit her down nicely and she tell her that you have something to say and you are doing it because you do like her. And simply tell her.
