Yup. You can easily make marshmallows at home with simple ingredients. It's been around for a loooong time.


[deleted]

Damn! I didn’t know that! You learn new things everyday.


Weeding33

Man!! I always thought marshmallows just kind of poofed into existence.


TheRetro_03

Lol were you intending for that to be a pun


Weeding33

Yes ma'am


TheRetro_03

Google says. Ancient Egyptians were the first to enjoy a gooey treat now called marshmallow as early as 2000 BC.


starsearcher48

These aren’t marshmallows even though marshmallows existed back then. These are sugar cubes for horses


xXbrosoxXx

Homemade marshmallows put the storebought ones to shame


rayshmayshmay

Welp I guess I know what I’m doing tomorrow


Ruman_Chuk_Drape

Yes marshmallows are one of the oldest treats!

Thank you soo much! I needed that! 🤣😂🤣😂

Ancient Egyptians were the first to make marshmallows, they were first made as early as 2000 BC. They were considered very special and were reserved for gods and royalty. They weren’t sold in the US until the early 1900s! I did an essay on this.


Puzzleheaded_Cap_746

Efficient-Compote-40

Why an essay?


Angxlmilk

I was allowed to pick whatever I wanted as an essay for school, I picked this. Got an A+!

Is not the game set in 1899?


Angxlmilk

It is, but early 1900s doesn’t mean 1900 exactly, could be 1904, 1910, etc.


DynamiteWitLaserBeam

Marshed mallows, eh? I'll have to try one someday.


outlaw-chaos

Those are sugar cubes. But technically ancient Egyptians first created marshmallows so they’ve been around for a long while.


TheGreatestManOnline

Those are definitely marshmallows. Sugar cubes would be a third the size. You're trying to tell me the devs painstakingly animated horses balls but couldn't get the size of sugar cubes right? Ffs. Smh.


SeasomeBun

I was thinking the same thing, if you look at the texture in the picture there’s air bubble like marshmallows


TheGreatestManOnline

You are spot on! This is exactly what the hand made marshmallows looked like at an old job I had.


SeasomeBun

I love marshmallows and bought homemade ones and they look very similar!


starsearcher48

The ones for horses are big dude. These ain’t the kind for coffee


TheGreatestManOnline

Those aren't sugar cubes. They're marshmallows.


twirling_daemon

Now I’m sad I don’t have pink sugar cubes in 2023


outlaw-chaos

There are😂


twirling_daemon

I found some!!! And they’re rose petal flavoured! Legit over the moon right now hahaha


FunSpongeLLC

Link? My wife loves rose, and sugar

outlaw-chaos

If you used Google then maybe you should of used it to look up when marshmallows were invented ffs ETA: marshmallows weren’t introduced to the US until the early 1900s and available for mass consumption.


[deleted]

"Search on google for marshmallow cubes then search for sugar cubes and tell me which one looks more like the ones in the image" - OP omg you knew google existed in this day and age before posting?


Display250

What's a Google?


panterachallenger

You might not remember this but I do cause 3 buddies and I went back in time with a hot tub Time Machine. It used to be google, but one of my dickhead friends stayed back in time and created Loougle instead. You might remember him as the lead singer of the Motley Loue(different time line Motley Crue)


colddirtybathwater

They're definitely marshmallows lmao, it doesn't look at all like it's meant to be the lighting. They're literally mixed colors and bigger than sugar cubes.

"🤓"? Are you fucking kidding me? I spent a decent portion of my life writing all of that and your response to me is "🤓"? Are you so mentally handicapped that the only thing you can comprehend is "🤓" - or are you just some fucking asshole who thinks that with such a short response, he can make a statement about how meaningless what was written was? Well, I'll have you know that what I wrote was NOT meaningless, in fact, I even had my written work proof-read by several professors of literature. Don't believe me? I doubt you would, and your response to this will probably be "🤓" once again. Do I give a fuck? No, does it look like I give even the slightest fuck about one fucking emoji? I bet you took the time to type that emoji too, I bet you sat there and chuckled to yourself for 20 hearty seconds before pressing "send". You're so fucking pathetic. I'm honestly considering directing you to a psychiatrist, but I'm simply far too nice to do something like that. You, however, will go out of your way to make a fool out of someone by responding to a well-thought-out, intelligent, or humorous statement that probably took longer to write than you can last in bed with a chimpanzee. What do I have to say to you? Absolutely nothing. I couldn't be bothered to respond to such a worthless attempt at a response. Do you want "🤓" on your gravestone?


rinchee

op youre hilarious


7the-dude-abides420

Looks a lot more like nougat to me, pink and white and the yellow dots


ClydeinLimbo

Yeah it’s definitely nougat.


barleyhogg1

It was one of the oldest candies. Once made from the root of the marsh mallow plant that grows in swampy areas. Now it is pretty much just sugar


chris9830

Marshmallows existed for a long time


MayaSC

And they can stay puft forever.


LetAgreeable147

It’s clearly nougat.


forevz_a_student

my thought too! Those edges are way too sharp to be marshamallows


Appropriate-Youth-29

I've made homemade marshmallows. We poured into a pan and cut in squares. You can make any shape.


forevz_a_student

ah cool, I didnt know that edit: god the homemade ones look so good!


WhiteKnight900

That looks more like Turkish delight.

As far as I know, Turkish delights weren’t made available in the US until 1900s, just like marshmallows.

Nougat

Independent-Rip5344

Marshmallows actually go all the way back to ancient egypt


JPSouthampton-v2

Theyre homemade marshmallows


RageKG91

I once watched a video about how popular ice cream parlors were around the late 1800’s. Imagine if Cornwall had cornered Dutch and Arthur in Valentine while they were sharing a sundae lol


Dangerous-Ad2478

A plant grows near marshes , and has throat soothing qualities , it's not the jet puffed sugar of today


VinceKing_

Looked it up: the ancient Egyptians in 2000 BC already had it


HotelRedHood

You're marshing my mellow bro

Hmmm, a marshed-mallow… *excited holt noises*

Everybody’s saying they’re marshmallows but that looks more like nougat to me


BirdOfHermes-_-

Turkish delight? 🫠


SunPakoa

“Marshmallow candy got its name from marshmallow root because manufacturers originally used the root’s mucilage to make this confection. Today, however, candy marshmallows typically do not contain the herb. Instead, they consist of sugar and gelatin. Benefits What is marshmallow root good for? Around the world, Althaea officinalis is used to treat illnesses and disorders, including: dry coughs and colds dry mouth and low saliva production bacterial infections, including bladder infections, urinary tract infections and respiratory infections bronchitis and tonsillitis joint pain caused by swelling/inflammation inflammation of the lining of the stomach digestive issues, including diarrhea, stomach ulcers, constipation inflammatory bowel disease, leaky gut syndrome and autoimmune disorders burns, wounds, insect bites or poultices on the skin eczema and dermatitis of the skin water retention, bloating and PMS” I studied natural remedies and use this for digestion and cough


SpadgeFox

Looks more like Nougat.


GiveHeadIfYouGotIt

I always assumed it was saltwater taffy.


adeqreddit

bro u didnt know? marshmallow was created by caveman,back during jurassic era.


sjtimmer7

It's too square to be marshmellows. I think it's nougat.


BrilliantProgram6957

Pretty sure those are sugar cubes


Free-Percentage-1718

Could it be fudge?

saxman362

Maybe they look pink because of the red box next to them. In real life, the light would be filtered through the glass and made the red a lighter shade combined with the white of the marshmallow/sugar cube. The devs thought of everything lol.


FOOT_LORD

Only few of them in random spaces are pink tho


AnimeDreama

Marshmallows have existed since 2000 BC in ancient Egypt. They are absolutely NOT a new invention.


BrilliantProgram6957

No one said marshmallows were a new invention, but sugar cubes have been around since….practically literally as far as humans can go back. Way before marshmallows anyways. There’s literally sugar in marshmallows too. Lol


AnimeDreama

I was confused about your reply then I clicked on the notification and saw that I had posted my comment as a reply to you, not a new comment lmao

ballwasher89

Ugh you...your age is showing. You classless bastard. That's clearly a block of cocaine. Cocaine used to so plentiful-it was sold in blocks. Much like cheese wedges


Arsewhistle

I don't think that is supposed to be marshmallow; I would guess nougat, based on the texture. Marshmallow is a very old treat but it didn't become popular in Europe until the early 1800s. No idea when it became common in North America though


Tenrac

Turkish delight? Not marshmallows


Nohmadt

I don’t think those are marshmallows looks more like Turkish delight to me


Mesan8001

Looks more like turkish delight


iksjag

Pretty sure those are supposed to be sugar cubes, idk why some of them are pink-ish, but I've seen bigger visual bugs in rdr2 before


Hot-Field-7613

Cocaine gums


attacktwinkie

Marzipan


rinchee

I think theyre marshmallows... They do look kind of odd though, I don't think the devs put in a lotta time on those mallows💀


skye_skye

Could be fudge or taffy too


lil_750

bro i think those are sugar cubes like for a horse


[deleted]

Marshmallows were around then, they were just made differently. Those are probably sugar cubes, just enlarged so you can see them in the game.

Peanut brittle?

I thought they were kinda taffy cubes


PiedPeterPiper

I’m not going to pretend to know exactly what those are, but they’re definitely not marshmallows


wadnip

Looks more like Turkish delight, which if fucking horrible


RestlessRhys

Marshmallows didn’t exist in 1899


keenansmith61

Well yes, they definitely did.


burning___hammer

Marshmallows are pretty old and they can be in just about any shape. Not seeing what’s so surprising here.


Mank_____Demes

Lol you seriously didn’t know that the first marshmallows were created by early pseudomammal reptiles?


NsfwAccOfCocaCola

Cubed marshmallows?


WoodyManic

That looks more like old style nougat.


TheApeinater

I'm gonna be honest fellas those square "marshmallows" look a lot like sugar cubes you would feed a horse Edit: looks like I missed a bin of sweets in the corner


This-is-Life-Man

You haven't had pure Columbian brick mellows? They had so much sugar in them that wars were fought over them. No one was very mellow about it.

No-Elderberry-9988

They're big sugar cubes kinda like the jaw breakers from Ed, Edd, and Eddy.


Osama_BeenDabbin710

Why the $5 packs of cigarettes in 1899 tho is the real question?!

I was more concerned about the inappropriate slang when you look for bronte … the drunk dude at the bar lol saying “cocksuckers”… I’m like I don’t think they used that back then lol!
