This is taken from a Reader’s Digest book someone donated to the library, Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary Things: 2,317 Ways to Save Money and Time:

1. Stop ice-cream drips – Put one in the bottom of the cone. It doesn’t stop the top mess, but at least that you can see coming. It’s the bottom of the cone shenanigans that get me.
2. Keep wax off birthday cakes – Put the candle in there. If the wax melts, you can discard the marshmallow. And it’s festive! (Festive? Like for Marshmallow Day or something?)(Dang! I guess there is a Marshmallow Day! August 30!! We missed it. Maybe we can catch the two day celebration of Día de Melcochas)
3. Keep brown sugar soft – Throw a marshmallow in to dish out the moisture
4. Separate toes when applying polish – I’ll have to take their word for it.
5. Impromptu cupcake frosting – Add a marshmallow a minute before taking the cupcake out of the oven.
