To Fluffernutter or not to Fluffernutter
What’s up with Senator Jarrett Barrios and his campaign against fluff?
That isn’t news fluff or Beacon Hill fluff, which, frankly, can be deadly and wasteful.
Senator Barrios is talking about Marshmallow Fluff.
He says Fluff has to go.
We think the senator has to go before we’d give up fluff.
How many kids in New England do you think ate Fluffernutters for lunch at school when they were growing up?
Hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?
Let’s put it this way – there was something wrong with your mother if you never ate a Fluffernutter and absolutely nothing wrong if you ate a Fluffernutter every day, as I did.
For the uninitiated, a Fluffernutter is two pieces of white bread – not wheat bread – with a layer of soft peanut butter and a second layer of Marshmallow Fluff laid on top of it.
That sandwich with ice cold milk to wash it down is a one-of-a-kind American experience, the stuff of enjoyment.
One bite of Fluffernutter followed a big gulp of ice cold milk.
It’s truly an American experience, and a lasting one that was never challenged.
That was … until Senator Barrios, whom we know well, complained that kids shouldn’t be eating Fluffernutters to the extent that they do.
Barrios wants Fluffernutters taken off the menu at his kids’ school.
You may have seen Senator Barrios on television earlier this week describing the shock and dismay he felt learning his son was eating Fluffernutters almost every day at his school in Cambridge.
“It isn’t right. It isn’t healthy. I’m going to do something about it,” he said.
We’ve always liked Senator Barrios.
We’ve stood up for him when anti-gay activists and the haters around here complained about his homosexuality, his marriage, his parenting of two children.
But the Fluffernutter, and Senator Barrios’ complaining about it is where we part.
Unless he retracts his misguided complaints about Fluffernutters, we’re going to have to rethink our support for the senator.
City Manager Jay Ash said the world wouldn’t be a better place without fluff.
Our representative Kathi-Anne Reinstein has filed a bill making the Fluffernutter the state sandwich.
We don’t know where State Senate President Travaglini stands on the matter, although I’ve heard Trav ate Fluffernutters as a kid.
Trav served as Senator Barrios’ best man at his wedding – and now this.
House Speaker Sal DiMasi is apparently against Fluffernutters because he knows Trav likes them.
“Anything Trav is for I am against,” DiMasi said.
A call to Lt. Governor Kerry Healey’s office reveals she never ate a Fluffernutter.
“What is that?” asked the lieutenant governor. “What is this Fluffernutter you’re asking about? I’ve never eaten one, and I don’t know what it is.”
So what else is new, we said to ourselves.
So much for the Republican lieutenant governor’s claim that she’s in the mainstream.
When we contacted Governor Romney about the issue, he replied, “Fluffernutter? What’s that? Is it an automobile? I never heard of this when I was growing up in Michigan.”
Banning Fluffernutters is a bit of bad government, determined to remove from our youth one of the truly great American treats.
Senator Barrios has lost our support and our respect until he retracts his out-of-touch beliefs about Fluffernutters.
After all, what kind of kids will he be raising if they aren’t allowed to eat peanut butter and fluff sandwiches?
That’s what living in Cambridge too long will do to you.
