What the Fluff?

October 4, 2009

Last week I went to the What the Fluff? festival (yes it’s really called that) in Somerville, where Fluff marshmallow creme was invented. It’s a quirky little festival with lots of carnival style games for kids and vendors selling baked goods made with Fluff and of course, fluffernutter sandwiches. Fluffnutters are delicious and are made with Fluff and peanut butter. It recently made headlines in Massachusetts when a bill was introduced to make the fluffernutter the state sandwich.

I had my first fluffernutter sandwich at the festival, and it was really yummy! I wish I knew about these when I was a kid so I could convince my mom to pack fluffernutters in my lunchbox.

Mmmmm look how gooey!

The “Fabulous Pharaoh of Fluff” is elected every year at the festival. There was a little voting area where you could vote for your favorite poem, and the winner would be crowned Pharaoh. Pictured here is last year’s Pharaoh, and her sash says “In Fluff We Trust.”
