Swift & Supersonically Snappy Short Review #18: Up The Creek Scents Pink Marshmallow

If I could live in a world built of only one thing/substance, I would pick to live in a world of marshmallows.
Those things would make damn fine pillows.
Up The Creek Scents Pink Marshmallows
Cold Rating4.5/10
Lit Rating: 3.5/10
Throw Rating5.5/10
Overall Rating: 4/10; extremely uncharacteristic of Up The Creek Scents to have a "bad" scent. Didn't get any pink from this. Marshmallow had a funky undertone. Had lots of cure time but in the end, no dice. Smelled even stranger after many months. The throw wasn't stellar, either. Didn't melt this long. Possible culprit: was this a wrongly labeled tart?  It had slight stinks of zucchini in its wisps. EW Maybe pink sugar isn't their thing? Or maybe their pink sugar is on the muskier side? One "bad" tart won't dissuade me from this company, since most of the stuff I have melted from them has been pretty good. Has anyone else had this problem with their pink sugar scents??

  1. I was going to suggest maybe the warmer dish needed a good scrubbing but no, you wouldn't have been melting zuccornpuke anyway. Hmm, bummer. I have no experience with this scent and barely any experience with this vendor so I have no other words of wisdom here. =)

    1. That was my first thought, but I have scrubbed it just recently, so I don't think it's that! Plus, no zukepukecornychippinsbread. I hope this doesn't detract you from trying UTC! (I will make sure to send you some extra stuff from her in your next goodies box!)

    2. No extras needed. No goodies needed either, but we all know those words fall on deaf ears in our group. LOL! I have had a handful of UTC tarts to try already and have been impressed by those few. I might sneak a quicky order before fall scents take over, just to have something to blog about.

  2. I had pink vanilla butter fudge from them but it was not very strong. No funky funk that I can recall. Just kinda light. Come to think on it, I have not had their marshmallow either. Ditto marshmallow dreams of marshmallow life. I am partial to Marshmallow Fluff. Mmmmm!

    1. Maybe their pink scents are sort of lighter in general! Mmmmmmmmmmm, marshmallow fluff! Do you have any cool recipes using it?

    2. Just the usual, fudge, on buttered toast, or with peanut butter sandwich. But I bet there are some cool dessert ideas are out there. I need to look!
