fluffer nutters and altitude

fluffer nutter? what? yeah, that's what i said the first time i went to rehearsal as stage manager for my friend's play he wrote and directed. so i asked him what it was. he was totally shocked i've never had a fluffer nutter. so i found out it's a sandwich made of peanut butter and marshmallow creame. so i ventured out and tried it. not bad! now i tried it in ohio, and have not had them since.
so i'm at my friends house here in CO. we start talking about food. probably because we were both starving and it wasn't until after the mention of fluffer nutters that we realized this. she didn't know what it was either, so i told her about it. she was intrigued. we were going to make one, but we were shy the marshmallows and didn't want to go out. it was a lazy night.
three days later, it's a weekend. Sony, Burton, you will appriciate this! my husband was back from his business trip. we were sitting on the couch, and i looked over to him and told him i was craving fluffer nutters. he, at least, knew what i was talking about. we hadn't had lunch (or was it dinner?) yet, so he said that actually sounded good, so we went to the store and got the fluffer to our nutter! we get back and i start to make the sandwiches. so i twist off the lid of the fluffer and start to pull back on one of the tabs to get that seal thing off. i get a little bit off, and try to get the rest off when all of a sudden the fluffer starts rising out of the little hole that i had made in the seal! it just kept growing! it just kept getting taller! it ididn't even fall over the side! it wouldn't stop! it was ALIVE!!!!!!!!! it was actually quite cool to watch. so i use some of this for the sandwich so i could get the rest of the seal off. it still doesn't stop, and i'm struggling with the rest of the seal. i make another small hole, yet unsuccessful at getting the whole thing off. and yes, more started to come out of that! it was never ending! FINALLY i am able to get the entire seal off, and the fluffer stopped rising. whew! i guess it was under a little pressure at 5,000 ft! i was finally able to make our sandwiches and enjoy them, with no fluffer going to waste. it was quite entertaining though!

Awesome! I want to come to your part of the country and watch the fluff explode. :) That's a fun way to make a sandwich.
