Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / What Happens to a Marshmellow in a Vacuum?

The marshmallows will indeed inflate, and when removed from vacuum (or air is let back in) they shrink smaller more than the original size. As they expand some air leaks out, so when they contract there's not as much air to keep them originally sized.
This little demo is also a lot of fun to do with Peeps. They react the same, but the fact that they have a face makes it that much more disturbing.
