So today at work my co-workers started dissing on 'Smores claiming that they are way overrated. They said that they don't understand why people make such a big deal over Smores. One of them mockingly said, "Oh Smores, you just can't go camping without Smores." Other comments like, "The marshmallow is just too much" and "'Smores are just too messy" were a couple of the reasons my co-workers gave for not enjoying Smores.
After a few minutes of discussion, my other co-worker spoke up and I think he hit it on the head. As campers we are too spoiled with modern day candy bars. Our generation wants everything instantly. Why wait for a marshmallow to slowly roast over the fire then mix with a graham cracker and chocolate, when you can pull a Snickers out of your pocket and start eating instantly?
I for one think Smores are awesome, perhaps the best camping treat of all time. Everyone can make them, the kids love scorching roasting marshmallows. So what do you think? Do you agree with me or am I off in left field?
