Peeps

These bright yellow chicks started as an Easter staple, but have developed into so much more. Now Peeps are available in various bunny and chick colors for Easter; ghosts and cats for Halloween; trees, reindeer, snowmen, and more for Christmas; and hearts and bears for Valentine’s Day. Peeps were first created in the 1950s as a seasonal Easter item, but as the brand expanded, the marshmallow puffs were released for other holidays and events. Now Peeps fans can visit year-round stores in Maryland, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania to purchase Peeps products. In addition to being a tasty marshmallow snack, Peeps are also used for annual Peeps diorama contests around the country

I will never understand the "peeps" thing, my mother(God Bless her Soul), could eat a whole box and not think one minute about it..

I'm a Picksburgher, give me Primanti's or upper ohio valley pizza, aka DiCarlo's.

I liked the McD’s Shamrock shakes. I love mint.

Told a friend of mine at a Halloween party that it was customary to do a shot of whiskey and eat a peep. Everyone did the shot, he was the only one to eat the peep. He looked around and said what the hell. We all stared that eating a peep with whiskey will bind you up tighter than snare drum, it last for days and everyone should know that. (This was a set up). One guy sent the video of him eating the peep after the shot to another friend who was in on it. He called and said WTF are you doing? You won’t shxt for a week.

He freaked all night kept saying he had enough problems as it was..his wife told him it was joke in the morning 🤣🤣🤣

We still joke about it!!

Looks like something a 9-year-old girl would eat.

In-N-Out - the BEST. Double Double with cheese.

The only time I buy Peeps are after easter when they are half off. They make great targets. Easy to see from far away and nearly indestructible.

It’s a misnomer to call them food. Maybe, if I was stranded with nothing but Peeps and dirt…

There is nothing on that list that I would eat unless I was starving. Arbys and Hardees used to have decent fish sandwiches seasonally.

I enjoy the double doubles. Pretty inexpensive and good tasting. I may get one today after I get out of BIg O.

I kind of like to roast Peeps on a skewer, with or without the bourbon.
