New York Daily News:

The U.S. Geological Survey interrupted its public safety announcements to warn people not to roast marshmallows over volcanoes.

The USGS Volcanoes account was responding to Twitter user Jay Furr, who asked: "Is it safe to roast marshmallows over volcanic vents? Assuming you had a long enough stick, that is? Or would the resulting marshmallows be poisonous?"

"Erm...we're going to have to say no, that's not safe. (Please don't try!)"

The agency explained that volcanic vents can emit sulfur dioxide or hydrogen sulfide, which would make the marshmallows taste "BAD."

Plus, you get all that yucky charcoal on the outside...

1. I would be more worried by the glass shards

That didn't sound right.

2. Of course it's safe! Liars!

Just be sure to wear your approved, fireproof MAGA hat to keep the hot bits from landing on your head and burning your skull. If you do not own an approved, fireproof MAGA hat, do not attempt roasting marshmallows.

3. If sulfuric acid from volcanic smog is combined with sugar, "you get a pretty spectacular reaction,"

They didn't tell us what the spectacular reaction is..so I found on YouTube:

4. Some people are a real threat to the gene pool and deserve self removal.
