Title: Ever placed a marshmallow in the fire?
Post by: Seany on 13/07/2007 15:56:48

It is honestly the most fascinating thing! LOL!

It first expands to a huge size, almost double it's original.. Then it goes black and then shrinks like wild.. And in the end, it just looks like a charcoal..

Oh, also it gives off this pinky orangy red flame.. It smells quite nice aswell..

What actually happens. And the gas produced?
