So what are you opinion on the infamous Peeps?!?!
http://www.jgower.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/peeps.jpg

Love 'em.

Easter ain't done without at least one box of Peep Jousting.

Sorry I find them thoroughly disgusting.

I like them when they're here but don't miss them when their gone.  They have these strawberry creme hearts for Valentine's day that are awesome.

Can anyone explain what a peep consists of and what do they taste like?

They are too sweet for my liking, however I LOVE to put them in the microwave and make GIANT peeps out of them! ;D :D

They are marshmallows with a fine sugar coating.

Sugary, crunchy like honeycomb?

Ugh, no. They hurt my teeth. :P

In that case I will try them then.

Too sweet for me.  8-P

in my house we see who can do the most strange things with them...at college we took a couple dozen chicks and put them in the pond-and lit them on fire!

Nah, I used to like them as a kid. I think I just ate too many.

No, sugary and crunchy like granulated.

If you've never had a Peep, but you do have access to marshmallows...

(Marshmallows in the States are foamy/sticky areated mixtures of corn syrup and glycerine, lightly dusted in corn starch to prevent them from sticking together.  They're soft and fluffly, and wholly unlike the hard and chalk-like "marshmallows" found in some breakfast cereals.)

...Anyways, if Marshmallows are "fluffy sweet cylindrical things dusted with powder so they don't stick together and can therefore be sold in plastic bags", you can reproduce the taste of a Peep by tearing a marshmallow in half, dipping the freshly-exposed bit of the mallow in a bowl of sugar, and eating it.  Crunch, crunch!

The only real difference is that Peeps used colored sugar, and a couple of daubs of brown carnauba wax for the facial features.  Doesn't make any difference to the taste, though.  Just plain yummy, but keep your dentist on speed-dial.

I was gonna tease and ask if they make them with Splenda, and guess what?  They do!  :-http://farm1.static.flickr.com/254/451524108_d52d51b258.jpg?v=0

Non-Alcoholic Beer, waste of time drinking it.

I like Peeps. My mom got me into them (just like she got me into some other sweet confections) and I could usually outdo her on eating them, but now I usually can eat a few and feel satisfied. I was at a kitchen store yesterday (Sur la Table) and ran across a book on baking with Peeps. I saw the cutest thing ever in it: A Peeps wedding cake, with two chicks on top, one with a bow tie. I thought, Now that's what I want as my wedding cake topper!  :)

  Heh, yeah like near beer of decaf coffee... ;D

  Peeps are an Easter thing, no?  I've had them but I can't remember if they even have a taste.  Just pure sugar like candy corn...

  If it's a seasonal treat, Easter for instance, the Cadbury eggs are scrumpdillyish...

I never liked Peeps. Too sweet. Not sure what the Splenda version is like, though.

Holy crap!!  Somebody can find a way to suck the fun out of EVERYTHING!

i'd have to be paid handsomely to eat sugar free peeps.

i never eat sugar...peeps give me my year's worth!

the great thing is they actually make your teeth hurt.

I always buy a box or two each year.  Not a favorite but I do eat them just because.  Heads get eaten off first .

^  ;D No Mercy!

I voted 'Yes' - I like Peeps.  Anybody else besides me prefer them just slightly stale?  ::)

(Open the package and let it sit open a day or two)

how utterly amazing  :)  they make sugar-free Peeps


Thanks for that info!    I actually eat lots of S/F candy.  It's usually pretty tasty.

No and hell no I don't like 'em  8-P

^  ;D No Mercy!


Nope, none at all.  ;D  Chocolate bunnies do not stand a chance either.  The ears are chewed go off first, then the head....after that straight to the behind.  :D

$1 for ten.  I'm tempted to buy some just so I can join in with how awful they are.

Do you recall on seeing these or anything similar in the UK?

It's like eating marshmallowed sugar,once in a while is fine,but my mother-in-law loves them,she wants them year round.

Don't recall anything similar.  However something might spring to mind when I actually eat one.  At the moment the shape is a distraction.

The thought of all that sugar is off putting.

Don't like them myself, mainly because I'm not a fan of marshmellows(at least when they're done like that).

This is a good one, even if i don't like Ohio.

No because I don't care for marshmallows.

Now who said that Peeps are unhealthy?

This guy's just chillin' with his peeps.

...and, by "chillin'", he means "liquid nitrogen style".  When sufficiently chilled, a peep will shatter.

That's disturbing.

My father in law likes them, and extremely stale ones at that. The ones they had out at Easter this year were from last year. I passed.

My cat likes stalking them. He dug one of them out of the candy basket and tried to kill it by shaking it and biting it around the neck. It made me proud of him. Of course, cleaning up all the peep parts stuck to his fur and face was not fun...

I'll let you know later!

Where my peeps at?  Ooops I forgot. I have no peeps because I don't like them.  For some unexplained reason, I never like peeps.  The same goes for that candy corn stuff at Halloween.
