00:00With record high egg prices still plaguing wallets, one company is trying to put a spin

00:04on an Easter tradition. JetPuft has released a marshmallow dyeing kit to try and draw in

00:09customers to color something else for Easter this year. The kit, which costs $1.99, comes with six

00:15vibrant colorings, three pens, an egg crate, tongs, and a bag of marshmallows. A dozen eggs,

00:20meanwhile, has an average price of more than $6. In a press release, JetPuft said the kit was
