It's that time of year to bring up the fruitcake of Easter.

PEEPS!

I love em! I stick em in the freezer for a week and it stales em nicely!

Robert and his friend Bruce have this "thing" going about PEEPS. Robert hosts a HUGE Easter open house event. Egg hunts. Easter Bonnet judging. Egg coloring. Guess how many Jelly Beans in the Jar. Gifts. Food, food, and more FOOD.

Bruce wrapped up a package of Purple Peeps and gifted to Robert the 1st year. Robert saved them, and re-gifted back to Bruce the 2nd year... Bruce ... regifted back the 3rd year...

Are 15 year old PEEPS properly stale?

I forgot who's giving and who's getting this year...

I think that hard as a rock qualifies them for pot scrubbers.

Roasted! See this posting: Peeps at NOG

For us (probably) deprived Canadians, what's a peep?

cheers

Well, that's a big disappointment. I will be cancelling my move to Canada! Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peeps

And of course, some people do more than eat them. From the annual diorama contest at the Washington Post: "Suddenly, There Was a Peep!"

They are made from marshmallow, sugar, gelatin, and [b]carnauba wax

Next time I need to wax the trailer, I'll just grab a PEEP and start rubbing

Peeps aren't all nice and innocent. Check out this Peep show (I can't take credit)

Canadians don't have Peeps? Oh... the humanity! We will send to you immediately!

Peeps are a silky marshmallow covered in crunchy sugar (Presumably, stuck on with wax

) They come in pink, yellow and purple and the traditional ones are shaped like little chicks, + they have bunnies..

They used to be just for Easter, but now there are Halloween Peeps shaped like cats and pumpkins. They aren't the same.
