"Hey I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything is all right!"


What an awesome commercial. I think I'll go shoe shopping so everything can be all right.

OMG I love those things!
I was very delighted when they expanded and included other holidys in their line of treats!

I liked the Thriller Peeps and the Trojan Peep the best.

Well that's just a pisser. I wanted to show every Mary Jo's Peepy Fun Page. It was a whole page of weird stuff people had done with peeps, but it appears to be offline. Even the internet archive has no record of this awesome page of all things peep.

I have a giant peep that is about two feet square. Soft little pillow thing.

I don't know why, but I love that stupid thing. I think it's because the idea of a peep that large is just disconcerting.

I even have a game based on it, but it's more of me and the wife being asses. We can just be walking around the house when all of the sudden you'll hear a loud "PEEP" being yelled right before this big yellow fluffy thing pops you in the face from across the room.

Eating a peep that big would result in multi-organ failure, or the "squishy high" from the Simpsons. :)

That sounds like a perfect marriage to me. I'm going shopping for my husband's "spring equinox" basket tonight. I may have to find a Peep than can be used as a weapon...

Am I the only one who doesn't like Marshmallow Peeps? They're way too sweet and it really grosses me out.

I don't like them, but I eat one every few years to remind myself why. Plus, it's fun to blow the uneaten ones up in the microwave.

Nah, they're junk for little kids and dementia'd old hags.

It's obvious you love us,
though we've done nothing good,
we'll rot out your teeth,
'cause we're only barely a food.

a depeche mode joke. awesome.

 
Open_Mouth_Inert_Foot 2008-03-22 11:44:24 AM  
since these things are marshmallow, i wonder how they'd fire in a fire, i've been making bonfires and roasting marshmallows wih the kids, maybe i should try a peep.

no mr peep i expect you to die!

 
chouchou 2008-03-22 12:06:59 PM  
No, no no! Bad subby! The awesomeness that is Depeche Mode (what can I say? I'm a child of the '80s) should never, ever be associated with the nauseating, disgusting mess that is Peeps!

 
zymurgist 2008-03-22 12:14:28 PM  
chouchou

It's the juxtaposition that makes it work. One must balance the other. In this world, you can't have the awesome without the banal.

Peeps in the microwave!

- Put peep in small Pyrex bowl
- set microwave to 50% power, 3 minutes
- hit start and watch the pulsating peep!

Bonus -- tastes like a campfire marshmallow when you're done.
mmmmmmm!

Oh that's what I wanted to say, and I figured no one else would even care about my posting it let alone someone else posting it first.

Begun the Peep Wars are! (yeah I goofed the quote, but I'm a trekkie, not a star wars devotee)

/be microwavin' some Peeps on Easter morn
//happy Spring, everyone!

Oops, not are, but have. FTFM. I'm retarded, but everyone here knows that by now. Preview is my friend...etc...

 
Juniper Jupiter [recently expired TotalFark] 2008-03-22 12:36:21 PM  
My mom loved these things, but JUST the yellow chicks. It was a tradition with her for us to buy her a 5-pack every year until she died a couple years back. Last year on Easter Day the only Peep I could find was a big plastic one filled with stickers and chocolate candy; at least it was the traditional yellow chick! 'Course after we left it in front of her headstone, it got swiped a few days later (we left the booty in so the Peep wouldn't blow away). This year we got the Peeps a couple days early and will leave them for her tomorrow...kinda like pouring some of your forty out for your dead homies...

Gahd I still miss Mom!

I've actually toasted a peep over a camp fire before. It was kind of cool, and actually tasted a lot better than a normal Peep. Less sweet.

The downside? Unlike a normal marshmallow, that will regain it's firmness after cooling a bit, the Peep not only retains it's heat thanks to the carmalized and continually burning crystal sugar coating, but it stays gooey long after it's even stone cold. The result, of course, it tantamount to brightly colored napalm.

Peeps are disgusting crap.
I don't even think I could eat an entire one.

this link made my day. that is all.

 
Cup_O_Jo 2008-03-22 03:29:32 PM  
OK so in the photo gallery there is a link to peeps doing thriller. So I click on it..it leades me to a video of inmates doing thriller in an Asian prison. Complete with a male inmate dressed as the girl.
I will never ever be the same. That is what I get for clicking on the video thinking they would light little Michael Peeps hair on fire.

I'm glad to find out that there are others who can't stand peeps. I wouldn't even consider eating one; I can't stand to see or be near them. They freak me out. They are a wrong thing that should not be.

No, it doesn't seem that you are dense. Maybe marshmallow-y?

Let's not be a drama queen. They may not taste good to you, be too sweet for your tastes and all that, but being near them giving you the willies? That seems a bit much and highly unlikely.

Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Great old one
Forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell.

Drain you of your sanity
Face the thing that should not be
