Roger Kube with the Surfrider Foundation did not have specifics on the environmental impact of marshmallows left behind by the annual street battle but did say the litter left by revelers last year was overwhelming. Newsom recalled that last year, in the fight's sticky aftermath, her flip-flops got stuck while crossing the street in what she described as an inch of gooey mess.

Skip to content. San Diego County Oct 6. Chula Vista 2 hours ago. It just got larger — and more messier. Yet, we kept the discussion going, even offering alternatives. Finally, opinions started to change. By a OB Rag poll , nearly half of the respondents wanted to ban the marshmallows. By late June , momentum was gathering to support the ban. A handful of local liquor stores and markets pledged not to sell marshmallows on the holiday.

Gretchen Newsom — then head of the OBTC — even went as far as holding a press conference calling for support from locals and businesses for the ban. Which is how we got to July 4, Here is my report on the night the OB Marshmallow Wars ended:.

Compared to last year, there were no marshmallows thrown before the fireworks, none thrown during the fireworks, and after the explosions and light show, it took a few moments before the first white globs were seen in the air. Police were fairly low-key, although their presence was known — they had set up a command post in and around the trailer in the OB Pier parking lot.

At least two arrests were made — one was related to the marshmallow throwing. Woman being arrest for being over-zealous in retaliation against a teenager who threw a marshmallow at her.

I took my position before the fireworks went off. Half of the last block of Newport had been blocked off by police as well as the south end of Abbott. An Uncle Sam on stilts strolled by. People were streaming in from all over.

Another reporter, J. Upstairs in the Wonderland bar, the crowd burst out in the national anthem. Then the fireworks began — and the explosions. The first loud boom elicited expectant cries of joy from the watchers. At this point, the beach was packed. The cement sidewalks were packed. The grassy areas were packed.
