Marshmallows

Rev. Sylvester Graham, a U.S. dietary reformer, developed in the 1830s the Graham cracker
first baked as a health fod snack. But its profile (and ours) has been enhanced by the addition
of toasted marshmallows and chocolate to produce S'mores, a not particularly healthful snack
- but who cares.
Charles Strite in 1919 invented the automatic pop-up toaster. Strite got the idea for the
appliance after being fed up with burnt toast served in his company cafeteria. It wasn't until
1926 (four years before Wonder Bread introduced sliced bread) that the Toastmaster --
an automatic, put-in-the-bread,set-the button toaster-became available for home use, thus
providing time for a variety of morning pleasures.
