I haven’t made a grasshopper pie in years but this hot weather just begs for it.

Let’s see.

• Marshmallows
• Heavy cream
• Butter
• Oreos – must be some protein in that chocolate!
• Creme de Menthe – green is always nutritious, right?
• Creme de Cacao – more chocolate?
• Milk – good enough for babies, good enough for me!

Grasshopper pie is obviously a health food!

Seriously now. The marshmallows are made of corn syrup and sugar. The package has a huge label reading FAT FREE!

Is this:

1. Brilliant advertising
2. Someone’s idea of a joke
3. Proof that Americans are gullible, stupid, or both
4. Repulsive
5. All of the above

What do you think?
