It's time to talk marshmallows! A small chewy sweet is thought of as something that can be eaten in one bite. Dulces Mazapán de la Rosa, a famous confectionary company, has created the world's most enormous marshmallow. I like marshmallows like the next guy...but this takes it to another level!

The candy company produced a marshmallow that weighed 648.4 kg earlier this year. As a result, the giant sweet became the most enormous marshmallow in the world. A Steinway D274 grand piano weighs only 480 kg (1,058 lbs), while the marshmallow weighs more.

To make the marshmallow, a team of 100 people spent 53 hours preparing it. Jalisco celebrated its 200th anniversary with a special event to unveil the monument. In Guadalajara, a temporary industrial plant installed at the Plaza Fundadores was used to verify the marshmallow's record. The marshmallow was distributed to the public after Guinness World Records adjudicator Carlos Tapia confirmed it.

Berkhamsted School, an independent school in the UK, previously held the record for the world's most giant marshmallow. In October 2019, the school made a 93.1 kg marshmallow. Dulces Mazapán de la Rosa has created a world record before. Guinness World Records awarded the company the title for producing the giant peanut marzipan candy in Guadalajara in 2018.

My Top 10 Junk Food List

My Top 10 Junk Food List. Did you celebrate National Junk Food Day last week? LOL. We all know it's called "junk food" for a reason. It’s not good for us. But, most of the time, we just don't care right?  Or, Like Paw Paw would say, anything in moderation kids.  What’s your go-to junk food when you get a craving? Cake? Candy? Soup? (Just kidding)

Eat This, Not That! took a look in everybody's shopping carts and kitchen cupboards and figured out just what junk we love to eat the most.

See the complete list Here

M&Ms

With so many varieties, how could they lose?

Hershey's

The study combined the classic bars, the minis, and those irresistible Kisses.

Reese's

Both the Pieces and the cups get a lot of love.

Oreos

We can't get enough of that magical Stuf.

Pillsbury Cookies

Fresh out of the oven, or raw -- we love our dough.

Ritz Crackers

Cheesy, peanut butter-filled or plain and buttery -- yum!

Doritos

They're "Nacho" average snack, and Americans can't get enough.

Planters' Peanuts

Alone or in trail mix, we're nuts about these poppable treats.

Jif Peanut Butter

Is there anything that the spreadable stuff can't do?

Betty Crocker Cake Mix

Yes, this one takes a little more work, but it sure is worth it!
