Marshmallows, M&Ms, and More

Today was a fairly nice and sunny day, so I was hanging out at the beach. My friend threw me some marshmallows and m&ms and I tried to catch them in my mouth. However, I was quite unsuccessful and the marshmallows and m&ms kept on bouncing off of my teeth or my tongue. I realized that I was failing because I wasn't using my physics knowledge. Because impulse=force x elapsed time, increasing the time of impact decreases the force of the impact. Therefore, I was more successful when i tilted my head back as I was catching the marshmallows and m&ms. It also helped when my friend threw the marshmallows and m&ms in a projectile motion with a large angle so that I had more time to make the catch. Also, when I was in the ocean, I was extremely cold because the heat from my body was moving to the colder water with a lower temperature.
