Someone had WAY too much time on their hands. Be sure to click through to the "research"--funny!

The real need is for research to determine why people voluntarily eat such a disgusting item.
Shawnee123 • Mar 21, 2007 11:57 am
Hey kids, you can do Peep experiments at home. Put one in the microwave and watch the fascinating results! :)

Ohh! :eek:

Peeps are good. Last year (yes, I'm slow sometimes,) I discovered toasting peeps. Put one on a skewer and hold it over the flame of the gas burner. the skin is all sugary and it gets nicely caramelized and crunchy. Also, the marshmallow puffs up too. Man that's good.
Shawnee123 • Mar 21, 2007 12:02 pm
:lol: You could add some hershey bars and graham crackers for a new taste treat. Just refrain from calling them Cheep S'mores cuz it sounds too much like Cheap Whores.

I wonder if jelly beans come out of their peep holes?

Green you say? Well, isn't that...er....umm...nice.

And now that we have satiated your somewhat desperate Peeps needs, perhaps we could go shopping for that LIFE you need so badly.

Nah...nothing like that. :D I dunno...peeps are just so tasty. And blue ones used to be my favorite...I even have a blue stuffed peep that I got one Easter. But green is my favorite color, so...whoohoo!

Incidentally, I like yellow grass in my Easter basket...isn't that weird?

My sis-in-law took some back to New Zealand a couple years ago; they hadn't seen them either! The Kiwis loved them. They're an Easter basket staple around here.

Oh no, I had forgotten about circus peanuts. Like eating a styrofoam cup.

Someone mentioned Cadbury's. I could never eat a whole one, they're SO sweet.

We are near where Peeps come from. The Holy Land of Peeps, one might say.

JustBorn is in Bethlehem, Penna., one of my friends worked there as a security guard some years back ... we were awash in Peeps as well as the experimental Mike 'n Ikes during that period.

More Peeps

I can't stand the darn things. Amusement value is high, but I don't like eating them.

I bite the heads off chocolate bunnies with aplomb, though.

Don't know if they make them there, but we also have ones with double chocolate, caramel and orange fillings. I like the original and the caramel ones...haven't tried the other two.

The chocolate and orange are nothing special...the orange are a bit nasty, really.
elSicomoro • Mar 27, 2007 3:23 pm
Rhoda used to like the chocolate ones. They came out the year I worked at CVS (2001), so I used to buy them on discount. They've never appealed to me...the caramel ones are almost too sweet to me. Double chocolate? That probably would be too sweet.

So I just bought some Peeps at Walgreens, and I'm dedicating them to Sheldon, my newest fruity friend. As such, it was important to buy the fruitiest-looking ones they had. The winners?

The Chocolate Jesus!!!
Shawnee123 • Mar 30, 2007 2:42 pm
Weird, Shel.

My mom and younger brother and I were emailing, and I sent them the church sign generator. The conversation progressed to mom saying people were really offended about the chocolate jesus. I said that the jes probably has a sense of humor and would like his chocolate rendering. I said I was more offended by this jesus monstrosity:


http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/OHMONjesus.html

About a half hour later I had a voicemail. I listened to it and it was a few lines of "Spirit in the Sky."

My brother might have been messing with me, what if not? :worried:
Oh well, I always said I was going to hell but would be satan's girlfriend so I'll get the good room.

If Sheldon can bite Jesus' top head off, he must be able to unhinge his jaw.

I would pay to see Sheldom eating Jesus like a boa constrictor, yes I would.

I went to the grocery store yesterday. It was a regular peepfest, a peepalooza, a peepasbord. There were pink peeps, and dark purple peeps, and light purple peeps, yellow peeps, green peeps, peeps shaped like peeps and peeps shaped like bunnies, large peeps and small peeps, peeps in handy carrying cases and peeps in bulk, giant stuffed peeps, and tiny stuffed peeps. There were even cocoa flavored peeps, for which I was cuckoo.

Peeps 2007 | Nothing brings out creativity like marshmallow farm animals!

You created Peeps sculptures, movie posters, magazines, dioramas and a first: Peeps apparel. In all, we got more than 350 entries. Unfortunately we can only publish a few of your entries, so we've chosen the best and added them to our "Peeppalooza" photo gallery.


Ok, my attempt to link to the gallery failed. You'll have to go to the article and click on the Gallery link yourself. Peepalooza!!
