Weird, probably. But no. No, but nice thinking.

That was your first thought?

If you want some more, just wait a few moments. With the next instance of parliamentary conduct a lieutenant will approve the alternate.

I do what I can.

Soup is generally eaten, unless it's served in a drinking cup rather than a bowl. Even puréed soups and consommés are considered 'eaten'. The exception occurs when one picks up a bowl to drink the soup rather than using a spoon. Marshmallows are a foam - air stabilized in a solid matrix made of sugar and gelatin. And gelatin is just protein. It's collagen (what holds the body together) that has been heated in water to a point where the protein structure relaxes and dissolves in water. It's usually made from the "leftover" parts of animals, to reduce waste and allow for better cost-efficiency. Jell-O is considered a semi-solid gel - liquid bound very tightly to the gelatin molecules. The gelatin molecules are considered 'solid' when the gel sets, even though they are not in a crystalline form but rather dispersed throughout. Some pictures that might help: This page on hydrocolloids from the FAO. Scroll down to Figs. 5 & 15 & read the stuff under '4) Properties' for agar and carrageenan. Note: Gelatin is a protein gel. The link discusses polysaccharide hydrocolloids for gels. The salient points are very similar, the molecular structure is different. If you have other food questions, let me know! I'll try to help. (Food Geek, yup! Food science is awesome!)

Edit for: Added #2, and - Doh! dD agrees with me on 2 of 3, anyway.

In my neck of the woods, it goes: Two wrongs don't make a right, but 3 rights are a San Francisco left. Others - One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. Don't let your mind wander, it's too little to be let out alone. If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten. If you can't win, make your opponents lose. Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go. - Oscar Wilde Madness takes its toll, please keep exact change. Why does life keep teaching me lessons I have no desire to learn?

Good thoughts, but not it. Well, close enough.
-
Nope, sorry. Some of your thinking is on the right track.
-
but that's not where this one's heading.

Interesting thoughts, but not where I'm going with this one.
-
While that certainly made me laugh (luckily alone in the lab whilst "working" today), sorry, that's incorrect.

Must be an old wives tale then.
