In 1917, Archibald Query of Somerville, Massachusetts invented a sweet marshmallow-like spread called Marshmallow Creme. Before that, in 1913 during World War I, Emma and Amory Curtis of Melrose, Massachusetts invented Snowflake Marshmallow Creme. And then they published a recipe for a peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich, the earliest known example of a Fluffernutter.
Where did the term “Fluffernutter” come from? Well, the advertising agency for Durkee-Mower created it in 1960 in an attempt to effectively market the peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich.
Bacon compliments a fluffernutter. Or try Fluffernutter and bananas! (Elvis has entered the building)

One of the best ways to cut down on your yearly CO2 emission is to eat less meat. Meat eaters emit roughly 3,000 kg of CO2 into the air, while vegetarians only emit 1,500. An all vegan diet only emits 1,000 kg of CO2.

If selling something..check the background of the picture you're posting.
A 38-year-old man in Missouri named James Kertz was trying to sell a catalytic converter on Facebook Marketplace last week.
But in the background of the photo, there was a giant bag of meth, along with a syringe.
A Facebook user tipped off the cops. Investigators raided James' place last Wednesday and seized meth and a .38 caliber pistol. He had previous felony convictions, so he can't have guns.
By the way, James was asked about the photo, and he said he didn't realize the meth and syringe made the shot. He was charged with drug trafficking and unlawful possession of a weapon.
No word if he sold the converter.
