And don’t say “vanilla”, I know what fucking vanilla tastes like. There’s a distinct flavor that marshmallows (especially store-bought marshmallows) have and I want to know what it is.

    It is vanilla (almost certainly artificial), sugar, and gelatin. You can make marshmallows at home.

    There is a marshmallow plant, the roots used to be used to make a whipped candy (that’s where the name comes from) but now they are literally just air and sugar, gelatin and vanilla, maybe a little cream of tartar.
