Here, at long last, is what the world has been waiting for. First came sliced bread, and now, finally, we have the temperature-controlled butter keeper.

We do indeed live in an age of technological wonders. How did we ever roast marshmallows without it?

And what marsh do marshmallows grow in, anyway?

Still not as useful as the temperature-controlled baby wipes container at Baby's R Us.

Marshmallows used to be made with the root of the marsh mallow (Althaea officinalis). It is a native of europe introduced into the USA back in colonial days.
