The headlines are all over! The PEEP’s! Everywhere! Un-stopable! Un-controlable! PEEP’s!!
OMG, I can’t stop laughing! My daughter and her cousins have participated in peepocide from an early age. Their grandmother used to give them Peeps in their Easter baskets that she had unwrapped and then loosely rewrapped in Saran Wrap about two weeks earlier. They were petrified Peeps for sure, and all the kids used to throw them at things to see if they could break them…the things, not the Peeps.
By the way, out grocery store has one entire end of the aisle display with nothing but Peeps. 
Don’t forget - there are Peep Ghosts and Pumpkins!!!

I am calling all of you to take part in the Peeps Defense Fund!!
I thought I was the only one. A guilty, over 50 female, who devours peeps wholesale. Goes through the checkline saying “oh, the kids just love them…” (What kids? I’m single.). Won’t put them in the kitchen where my roomie might see them… Gad! I’m not alone any more. I’m not the only one. I don’t have to join Peepaholics Anonymous… Thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU!!!
Ah, at the local dollar store, they have TONS of Peeps! Of course, my uncle loves them to be at LEAST 3 months old, so they sit in his drawer and are tortured for months before the jaws of death come upon them…

several day old peeps. . . . with the hard crust that only exposure to air can create. . . . bite into them, and they are kind of. . . chewy.
[I]Oh, Dear God, bring Easter early this year!!!
[/I]
it is a quick death! Pity the hundreds of thousands that mummify in their boxes 
You people and the peeps people (or are you all one in the same?? ) are responsible for giving me nightmares. Read this thread, went to the market … icky, sticky marshmellow creatures EVERYWHERE … had dreams I was being chased down store aisles by headless, chocolate-dipped, microwaved, poked, prodded, staled and otherwise tortured peeps!
I hope you are all happy now. 
You guys are too funny I needed a good laugh
Save the PEEPS!!!
I’m with you, Doubletake!
Unlike Krispy Kreme donuts, can be shipped to fellow BBer’s from a surplus area to impoverished soul mates such as yourself by kindred COTH members.
Peeps ship well. Krispy Kreme’s require special handling, refrigerator cars, etc. Peeps are born to be stale so they can go ground 
Truly frightened was I, this Halloween past, to notice white ghost and black cat peep alter egos on shelves in the local open late stores.
one of my friends wrote a very hysterical story about peeps slowly melting in the backyard of someone’s house for health class. it was an assignment to use ten words off a list that contained stuff like ‘anger’ ‘rejection’ ‘abandoned’ etc. i will see if i can find it. it was really really funny.
Well, since no Canadians are responding, I’m going to go up to the local Loblaws supermarket on a peep reconnaissance mission. I’ll let you know what I find.
And to think, I had opera tickets tonight…

Most Impateintly waiting…
“If the world was a logical place, men would ride side saddle.”- I have no clue
THIS is sick!!!
Those sweet little birdies are the best when they have sat in your Easter basket for more that a week.
Now that I have kids of my own, I buy several boxes, cut the tops open and hide them for a week or so. They hate them in their baskets so I get them all to myself.
As ETBW so astutely observed, peeps are corrosive. When the remaining peep in my tale of horrors heard the sizzle of Hobson’s shoe and hoof, it too leaped from its perch on the fence and ATTACKED THE BARN CAT!! Luckily, the boy who’d came out to see what all the commotion was about was able to pluck the vicious peep from the cat’s head before it managed to chew off an ear!

Two years ago @ Gulfport one of our boarders started showing up with various colored PEEPS - It kinda “snowballed” from there…
I was soo excited when I found the Haloween PEEPS - granted they are a step below the original PEEPS.
Even though I am not fond of eating PEEPS I can’t help myself from checking out what new colors are introduced. There is something mezmerizing about row upon row of PEEPS.
The Website is hysterical - who knew PEEPS on Pizza!
This thread has brigtened my day.

Update: Just Born has announced Peeps Cutouts, cookie-flavored Peep-like
holiday cookies for the 2000 holiday season. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
They have even made it to Epicurious! <BLOCKQUOTE class=“ip-ubbcode-quote”><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> FOR WHEN A REGULAR PEEP ISN’T SWEET ENOUGH
The Marshmallow Peeps Eggs, which are sprinkled with edible glitter and have a vanilla creme filling, fared better with the serious sweet tooths on the staff: Imagine eating spun sugar wrapped around Twinkie filling. Unlike the chicks, the eggs don’t improve with age. After sitting out for a weekend, the creme hardened up (becoming almost impossible to chew) and the glitter started to flake off.
