SkyMall Monday: Reel Marshmallow Roaster
Despite the fact that spring is off to a chilly start here in the Northeast, we've begun to plan some camping trips for the upcoming summer. If you want to book the best campsites, you have to reserve early. As such, we've started taking a look at our camping gear over here at SkyMall Monday headquarters to make sure that everything survived the winter. On any camping trip, you want to have the proper gear and ensure that it's all in working order. That way, once you're at the site, you can just enjoy the great outdoors, relax and savor those sweet, sweet s'mores. However, s'mores-making technology hasn't advanced much since people learned how to search for sticks in the woods. We're still poking marshmallows onto dirty twigs and rotating our arms in ways that put tremendous stress on our wrists and elbows. Most people assume that our proximity to the fire is the most dangerous part of making s'mores, but it's actually the physical labor. Thankfully, we can save ourselves a trip to the orthopedist thanks to SkyMall. The next time we go camping, we can roast our marshmallows with the Reel Marshmallow Roaster.Think that sticks are the perfect s'mores tool. Believe that operating a fork attached to a fishing reel actually puts more stress on the human wrist than previous s'mores-making devices? Well, while you suffer through a charred marshmallow, we'll be reading the product description:
Look, anything that gives you the excuse to say "crank it until it's perfectly cooked" is a good thing. Am I right, ladies?Give it a spin, and you'll never go back to a plain old stick again. Simply put your hot dog or marshmallow on the tip of this fishing reelpowered roaster, and crank it until it's perfectly cooked on all sides.
It's not wishful thinking to suggest that Memorial Day will be here before you know it. With that comes camping trips, long hikes and, yes, s'mores. Get your gear in order and pick up some new gadgets to make your camping trips perfect.
See you by the campfire.

I got such a huge kick out of reading this. I'm sad to say that I've never been camping - unless you count a trailer on a beach in Puerto Rico or sleeping in a van after a day/night full of drinking and metal in Virginia as camping...Anyway, it was during that Virginia adventure that this fellow New Englander made her very first s'mores. It was delicious and I'm still not quite sure how I managed to not stumble into the fire after being several shots in. Also, being so close to the fire is what makes the extreme art of s'mores making fun! It's all fun and games until no one gets hurt. Then it's a night ruined.
