More than what? If this is in fact a brand new cereal, it can’t be more marshmallows than ‘before’.A post shared by Jack White (@officialjackwhite)“Is it a statement that this cereal has more marshmallows than say… a bag of sand, or a typical Caesar salad? Or, is it a DEMAND from Snoop Dogg himself that we just have more marshmallows in this world in general? That last theory is my hope.“Lastly, the photograph on Master P’s Instagram shows a DIFFERENT phrase, an un-plural ‘MORE MARSHMALLOW’ without the ‘S’.”White concluded his post: “Photo attached, answers demanded.” Snoop has yet to respond to White’s questions.Earlier this week, Snoop was pictured in the studio with Eminem and Dr.
