Plight of the peeps...

Wow! A Peep Show right here in Cincinnati!!
I never realized how creative one could be with Peeps…
Cincinnati Peep Show

OK all you peep-a-holics - how did you miss this one??!
peep-o-rama

I especially enjoyed the gallery - peeps see the world! Finally the poor little peeps get to enjoy life a little…before they are beheaded or gobbled up whole.

Every year, my mom (who works weekends in a Hallmark store to help support my horse habit) brings home crates of Peeps after Easter. First, we blow through a few boxes, then the dog gets them for dinner, and finally the cats get their turn.

My personal favorite peep-torture is to put them in the microwave for a few seconds - watch those bunnies expand! Whoo! Too much fun…

Just as long as it’s not Attack of the Killer Peeps!

One of amateurs who was proactive in placing the plethora of placid Peeps in havaklu’s trunk

Hobson - my roommate wants to know what I’m laughing about. I think that, since I am traumatized by just reading that, I’ll keep that one to myself.

HuntJumpSC - Syncronized (sp?) peeping! Ahhh!! You win!

Is anyone else truly scared of the BLUE peeps? I’m contemplating a Peep color bias, against any color not normally found in nature (or, rather, not normally found on fluffed marshmallow sugar treats). Down with blue peeps!

Is this a peepathon???

Did I read that right? SUGAR coated SUGAR?!?!?

Can any fellow Canadians tell me if they are sold here? How could I have been missing them all my life (sniff, sniff)

Here are two innocent peeps sunning themselves on a fence…but what is that brown hairy thing in the background?

Warning: this is long, but bear with me. I’m in serious procrastination mode…

O.K…I’ve been to the local Loblaws, which was busier than the manure pile in July (Jane and Dundas, heidi…not too scary. Though I’ve been to some of the HUGE outlets with Movenpicks and the like…but I digress).

Once I made it through the veggie area, I hit the seasonal candy aisle, picking up a six-pack of various cadbury eggs, and a ten dollar bag of Mini-Eggs along the way. Then, I saw them, roosting quietly and harmlessly, ignorant of their imminent fate. One look at their plump little countenances and I knew I was beat. The rest of my time in the store was but a blur, as I proceeded through checkout and into the car with my payload.

Did I wait until I got home to sample? Of course not. It was in the parking lot of the Loblaws where I tasted a peep for the first time. With a zeal even Willy Wonka would envy, I managed to eat the first row of five even before I made it home.

I guess you could say I like them!

I now understand why I was never exposed to them before…if my mother got one whiff…okay, one look at a peep she would wire my jaws shut in a minute. She has a cavity paranoia when I was younger, so sweets were moderated. Now that she’s had a root canal, she figures she’s paid her dues, and buys much candy. Of course, I don’t live there anymore, but I know all her hiding spots!

Now, if I can only save some for when the husband comes home…

“Peeps? What makes you think I was eating peeps…?” NGM breathes as she gazes at her ‘sweetie’ with glazed eyes, wiping the gritty sugar off her face
“…You know how much I love fluffy yellow chicks…”

It’s a beast, and it’s going to destroy everything in its path!!!

Oh my God. Hobson you are so funny. I just laughed so hard at that pic that I now have to run to the bathroom before I have an accident…

I’m aghast that nobody has mentioned the Peep BUNNIES! In the bright neon pink.

We must liberate the Peep BUNNIES!

My favorite Peep activity is not beheading, or death my expansion, but various, less tested ways of Peep torture. Stick the PEEP SPCA on me, I’m a PEEP TORTURER!!!

(You guys are cracking me up.)

ROTFLMAO!!! Hobson you got me in trouble when I burst out laughing in the middle of a lecture opps now I can’t stop and everyone is staring at me. Oh well I did want to pass this class anyways humph

ah visions of peeps dancing around my head, now are you ready for this? I’m going to tell you the best way to eat a peep. Stock up on as many colours and shapes you can, then you carefully bit their heads off (do it quick if the screaming bugs you) and pull them apart and stick various mismatched parts back together. FRANKINSTEIN PEEPS! muhahahaha

I want you all to know that I’m walking the walk and peeping the peep, so to speak. I’ve just joined the Marshmallow Peeps Fan Club - A PREMIUM annual membership, thankyouverymuch.

Great research! I am tre impressed!

Question : If we were to heed the advice of ETBW and submerge peep heads in melted chocolate so as to act as a muffer to their screaming while their beheading…would the chocolate still allow them to be a staple good, or would they need to be refrigerated promptly after the chocolate dousing?

Ah, the chicky pippy cake rises again!

You wouldn’t believe it, but my mother actually baked me one! Beezer shamed her into it. Then I had to, of course, oblige everyone by consuming it, slice by sugar-encrusted slice.

I believe my sister’s comment was something like, “After everything you wrote on the COTH BB, you’d better eat that @! pippy cake or I’m going to cram it down your $@!^ throat!”

“Friends don’t let friends eat fish tacos.”

My husband eats those chocolate Cadbury eggs with white whites and yellow yolks! He loves them, I think they are gross. Now the Snickers ones, I could eat all day…

I JUST SAW THE PEEPS COMMERCIAL!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
