Peeps

[jakethebake]

These (http://www.cnn.com/US/9804/10/fringe/peep.science/) things are disgusting. Someone just brought in a case of them to my office, and there is not a more disgusting food item available to man or beast. Discuss.

My grandpa eats them by the row.

[Eurotrash]

gross. less gross than those disgusting marshmallow/orange circus peanuts that far too many people give out at Halloween, though.

[Toro]

I happen to agree but my wife loves them. And to make it even more disgusting she claims you have "age" them before eating them. This means taking the cellophane off and letting the air get at them for a couple of days.

We went to visit my daughter last week and she had a package for my wife and proudly told her Mom that they were already aged and ready to eat. What a couple of sickos. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

P.S. They only eat them around Easter season. Haven't figured that out either.

Perhaps it's because this is the only time they're in season? When else can you get them? You'd have to stock up on them in order to eat them year-round, which would take your wife's obsession to a whole new disturbing level.

I saw some people that had some little bats, and pumpkins that were peeps last year at Halloween. The [censored] is spreading.

Incidentally, I was just having this "Peeps are disgusting" conversation with a friend a few days ago and this was exactly what they told me. I personally can't imagine they're any better stale than they are fresh, but who knows.

[Shajen]

Are they nastier than candy corn?

I was thinking the same thing. Circus peanuts are the worst thing ever created. Literally.

No. Candy corn and circus peanuts are 1a and 1b on this list.

I disagree. I'm not familiar with circus peanuts, but Peeps are definitely worse than kandy korn.

[Bluffoon]

These make my teeth hurt. Sorry but I like the circus peanuts. I know they are disgusting but I like them anyway. And I will eat gummy anything until my stomach hurts.

[astroglide]

put one in the microwave. trust me, it's awesome.

[InchoateHand]

Absolutely wonderful. And so are Circus Peanuts. Have fun with your broccoli.

If you've never done this before, you definitely should.

[B00T]

Even being named Peeps make them less appealing than they actually are, if thats possible.

[NJchick]

OMFG

GREAT post.

TY....I just spit out my lunch.

My company partners with JustBorn, the makers of these things. The stale thing--a lot of people prefer them that way. You can put them in the freezer for the same effect without waiting a few days.

[jedi]

I like marshmallows in general. But peeps are way too disgusting for me.

Luckly, my future father-in-law loves these things.

Actually, I leave them unopened in the cupboard for a year or two.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. crunchy sugar goodness.....

[mcb]

Toss 'em in the microwave.

[GreywolfNYC]

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. Thanks, jake.

I am an American and I like Peeps!

[tbach24]

I agree. I typically find that only women like them. They're vile.

Good god.... now I'm gonna have to go and try deep frying one..... Anyone try that yet?

Deep fried milky way was just about the best & worst thing I've ever cooked/eaten.

stale peeps = good

[nate1729]

Once, when I had some Peeps but didn't want them and nobody else did either, I climbed some trees and stuck the Peeps to various branches. Days later they were still there. Even squirrels and birds hate Peeps.

How the heck do these things still exist?

[Toro]

This should be a great test of how bad these things are. I work in a building that has about 100 people, most of us, calorically challenged, if you know what I mean.

Whenever someone has leftover desserts and such in the house they bring it here and leave it in the kitchen with a little sign "help urself". The treats usually don't last past coffee break.

Today there is a box of Russell Stover chocolates and 3 boxes of the imfamous Peeps. So far, no one has touched the Peeps.

Put two in the microwave with toothpicks, like this:

Set to high and you have peep jousting.

Take it a step further and set up a tournament. (http://www.punkasspunk.com/peeps/joust/index.html)

For best results, use someone else's microwave. You're welcome.

Wait 'til you've tried it.

This has to be a record for this building. So far no one has touched the peeps. The Russell Stover candy however is going fast.

[Toro]

Uh oh. May have a customer. Steve's in the kitchen having lunch and Maureen just walked by and I overheard her tell Steve "oh, I love Peeps but you got to open the package first and let them get hard".

maybe that's what I find them so disgusting. I've only eaten them right out of the box. I'm not going to experiment, just in case I become addicted.

[mike l.]

This made my day. I have not laughed this hard in a few weeks.

Anyone ever try roasting them over the fire?

The 3 packages that were in our kitchen yesterday, mysteriously disappeared about mid afternnoon yesterday. I think the Board of Health confiscated them to bait the pigeons.

[jimdmcevoy]

my vote goes to peeps are good

I like marshmellows, I like suger, I happen to like the two together

Interesting. Two doves hit my office window this morning. Perhaps they spotted the peeps and were attacking.

[trying2learn]

so late last night at a poker game at my buddies house...i saw the peeps. i was telling everyone about this hilarious thread, and that we should do the jousting thing. f'd up his microwave, but if you think you've laughed hard at this thread - wait until you do this. seriously.
