We have reached peak beetus.

[scrdest]

One part WTF, one part LMAO: a gal I knew in high school has a 'FBI Interrogation Techniques' event participation notice on Facebook. It makes sense considering her studies, but still.

[Bouchart]

In the FBI do they teach recruits about not broadcasting everything over social networks?

Great scott, they actually are doing i---wait.

Only ten boxes? Why?...and why the song by that Biz Markie dude? Lucky Charms has some interesting dudes on the marketing committee, it sounds like.

Wonder if people will actually eat the whole box of cereal if they win, or if they'll horde it because "there's only 10 ever made."

[Graknorke]

...why not just buy regular marshmallows?

[Reelya]

Pfft, you could make an 11th box by buying a lot of Lucky Charms and saving up the marshmallows. If the 10 boxes becomes worth some money because of the rarity, that could become a viable money-making scheme.

This is some Myst-level stuff.

That is one fancy lamp/particle accelerator/photon bomb thing.

... I've yet to notice commercially available marshmallows that have the taste and, especially, the texture/consistency of lucky charm (cereal in general, really) marshmallows. Regular marshmallows just aren't the same. Which would be why you'd buy a box full of cereal marshmallows instead of the regular fluffy ones.

I think the closest I've had texture-wise was regular mini-marshmallows frozen with liquid nitrogen.

Which have the added benefit that you can see your breath while you're eating them.

I think Lucky Charm marshmellows are just essentially dehydrated regular marshmellows. Allows them to keep without getting hard and/or moldy for quite a while.

So I think if you put regular marshmellows in a food dehydrater (ingredients with standing) you'd get the same thing effectively.

Whoa.

Could see that working, I think. Closest I've seen going by way of regular marshmallows are ones that are just incredibly stale. Follows that dragging all the water out would come to a roughly similar outcome.

As best as I can tell it's the light from a lighthouse.

They do look pretty cool, though that one isn't even particularly crazy. Check out this one:

I recently learned why they're like that, I just can't remember...

Something to do with a focal point, I think.

Edit: Actually focal length
