If you put Peeps in the microwave, they burst into flames.

Most overrated confection ever. Peeps suck.

FTA: "There's something mystical about Peeps,"
"They really inspire a passion. People either love them or hate them."

That's so profound.

/Hate them

Peeps are an abomination!

I was about to post a pic that gorgor just linked to... should I feel dirty?

Straddling the world between cute and horrible.

Mike and Ikes FTW

They better have peep jousting tournaments.

I used to throw the male peeps into the garbage disposal or grind off their beaks.

This is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor and purchase a Peeps Franchise, just in case the economy tanking didn't wipe you out, you have a second chance at insolvency.

Tried finding a good video of peeps being destroyed in creative ways (as well as microwaves). I remember there being some funny ones out there. Now, not so much. Just smashing them, burning them. (and lots and lots of microwaves (new window))

Peeps + microwave = MORTAL PEEP FIGHT! (new window)

:( Sad to admit but I am a Peeps culty.... this is the best news I've had all day! No seriously it is! I've already started to organize a roadtrip!

"Thank God you found something to do with those things other than eat them."

Peeps, Bleah. Horrible nasty candy. Worse than candy corn, but better than Circus Peanuts. That's some nasty candy

Gyrfalcon: Someone with good shoop skills, I give you "Hangin' with my Peeps" as a theme.

Do with it what you will.

What a coincidence. That's the theme of the Steele thread, too.

If you unwrap them and leave them in the open air for a couple of days, the sugary surface develops a crusty texture. At that point they are perfectly delicious.

Stale peeps are fantastic.

I have a fried that does that. He swears they are better after they go stale.

They are pretty "meh" when they are fresh but stale peeps are great.


I like em moderately stale and chewy. Some people like them slightly stale or even hard as a rock. I think it depends on the humidity and temperature as far as how long it takes.

Most apropos typo EVER.

The "N" and "M" keys are going on this keyboard. akes for soe iteresting typos

approves.

Watch out for the albino Peeps with their little red beadie eyes.

From the article:

"And nearly 30 newspapers sponsored Peeps diorama contests last Easter."

I read that as diarrhea.

Christ.

It's a good thing my mom's already passed (rest her soul). She was a Peep FREAK!!! She always had to have a row of yellows for Easter.

/I "share a row" with her at the cemetery still...even though they're nasty.

Came here to say this! Stale Peeps are awesome...

Years ago, when I still lived at home, my momther would buy packages of peeps, pop holes in the cellophane, and hide them.
I found them one day and ate the last package... She called me from her work for something, and I said that I ate the last package of the stale Peeps, and she yelled at me over the phone for eating the last package of Peeps... well everyone at her work thought this was funny. The next time she went to work, her locker was filled top to bottom with packages of Peeps. (And her locker at work was 5 or 6 feet tall.)

Did that link redirect anyone else to some spyware/malware "virus scan" site based in Ukraine?

"Peeps" are the candy equivalent of Twitter.

If you use either, you've failed at life.

Marshmellow? Can they not afford spell check for that video? Chrome is mad at me right now for spelling it wrong.

Anyway, done with rant, I would visit it if it were local.

Forget it gorgor, I still haven't mind rinsed the dragon dick you posted last week. I don't even want to know where the peep wound up. :-)

Peeps make good s'mores.

All I know is, they must burn. Props for Gandalf frying the witch-peeps.

drjekel_mrhyde: Mike and Ikes FTW

Those are horrible. I hate you for even bringing them up. And I hate Peeps, too.

/needs a hug

Toast them. A stove burner will do the jobs. The eyes want to catch fire first. You'll spend time blowing fires out no matter what. It's worth it for that crusty glazed, carmel-suffused perfect, over the soft hot marshmallow goo.

Anyone from the heartland want to carpool to D.C. and visit the Peeps store with me?

Agreed. However, as Catsmeow mentioned, you have to get it just right so the sugar crystals caramelize into a golden brown layer to go with the marshmallow, chocolate, and graham cracker.
