Fluffernutter Is Serious!
So in my random interest of the word fluffernutter I just had to dig into it a bit deeper. See I remember fluffernutter sandwiches as a kid, not that I cared for them. Fluffernutter is a sandwich made of peanut butter and marshmallow So, I did a search on. Yes, loser moment, but I'm just nerdy like that. I was the kid that always asked why and requested that your answer be proven. Anyway, my search lead to the following info from Wikipedia and my comments are in red below:
A fluffernutter is a sandwich made with peanut butter and marshmallow creme. Its name comes from the common use of "Marshmallow Fluff" brand marshmallow creme.[1] It is particularly popular in the Northeastern United States states and has been proposed as the official Massachusetts state sandwich.
OMG, are they flippin serious? State sandwich? Hahaha, I never knew there was such a thing, that's drastically lame. What's even worse is I was born in Massachusetts! It's bad enough people think I shouldn't be able to pronounce words with an "R" but now I have to live down being from the Fluffernutter state? I thought we were known for clam chowder, crap!
A fluffernutter is made by spreading peanut butter on a slice of white bread, then spreading an equal amount of marshmallow creme on another slice, and finally combining them together to form a sandwich. Variations of the recipe include wheat bread instead of white, and the addition of bananas, honey, or other ingredients that are compatible with peanut butter.
Wow! This sandwich is so serious...instructions on how to make it! Are there a bagillion google searches on the making of a fluffernutter sandwich? Look, there are even variation like changing the type of bread! I'm going to call my love and tell him I will never make chicken alfredo or his precious spanish food ever again! It will be variations of fluffernutter sandwiches from now on. Now that's wifey skills right there!
In June 2006, Massachusetts State Senator Jarrett Barrios gained national attention when he proposed legislation restricting the serving of Fluffernutter sandwiches in public schools. The proposal was widely mocked as an example of trivial and overly intrusive legislation, while Barrios supporters pointed to concerns over the problem of childhood obesity.[3]
"Fluffernutter" is a registered trademark of Durkee-Mower Inc., the maker of "Marshmallow Fluff" brand marshmallow creme. However, Durkee-Mower's US trademark registrations for Fluffernutter cover only ice cream and printed recipes. In 2006, Durkee-Mower sued Williams-Sonoma Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, alleging that Williams-Sonoma was selling a marshmallow and peanut butter chocolate-covered candy under the "Fluffernutter" name.
See people, it really is serious! There were court cases over fluffernutter! Don't fight the fluff, embrace it for all it's sticky goodness.
Okay, so like I said, I am not feeling fluffernutter. I still understand how the name came about. If it's a combo of peanut butter why is it not called peanut mallow, peanut marsh, marshbutter, marshnutbutter, marshnutter...whatever! Why even combine the words, lazy losers! If we say peanut butter and jelly why can't we say peanut butter and marshmallow?
The thought of adding such thick, sticky substances gives me a tummy ache. (Yea I just said tummy, I raised my nephew and have Godchildren) It does not seem like a good combo, it's like a bad marriage. Man, the digestion process after this sandwich must be interesting. My poor little body as a child, i bet my tummy felt traumatized during the digestion period. And I was such a tiny little princess.
Fluffernutter lol, what a concept.
P.S. Fluffernutter is not even recognized in spell check. Don't the programmers know that fluffernutter is serious business?!!!
