Does anyone actually like Peeps?
They're just marshmallow and don't really taste of anything.
I see a bunch of posts on Twitter from people acting like they're addicted to them or that there's any danger of someone eating a ton of them on Easter, and it just all seems performative and stupid.

Yes, my partner, who is 47, and my 20 year old nephew.
My partner likes them for the nostalgia, eats one small box a year. The nephew will take anyone's leftovers when they've gotten stale. He also likes those terrible Circus Peanuts.

An episode of Murder, She Wrote, but the victim is a philandering husband who is poisoned by arsenic-sugared Peeps.

Peeps come in lots of different flavors. The gingerbread Xmas ones are pretty good. I saw Hot Tamale Peeps at the drugstore a couple of weeks ago,

They're good to make chocolate peanut butter smores fudge with. By themselves, no.

I'll have to look that one up, r7.
I liked so many. "Power to the Peeples" protest one was good, too

Poke little holes in the celophane wrapping and wait a few months and you have Peep Jerkey.

In January 2018, employees at Just Born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania went on strike. They would soon be making Peeps for Easter. Strikers chanted "No Justice, No Peeps." Company settled, increasing salaries and retaining pension plan.

Lol, that's hilarious, r11.
Of course I'm sure now they are owned by a giant corporation.

I hate them, they're as bad as candy corn.
I had a coworker who loved them, but she would wait until they aged & hardened, she said they were more delicious that way.
I read in People that Teri Hatcher likes them just like that! I clipped the article/blurb & sent it to my friend.
Gross! (But I love Teri nonetheless)

I prefer Pepsi over Coke. Always have. When I have a Pepsi Zero Sugar I’m happy.

Now I'm curious about Peeps recipes. Or as they say here, "hacks" 🙄

R2 My sister loves stale Peeps I'll have to suggest trying stale Circus Peanuts to her. Must be something about stale sugar....does sugar go stale?

I think they are gross and could never make it past the first bite. However, the idea of a Halloween peep being flame-toasted and smashed inside of a smore is kind of intriguing to me.

I've seen some of the new flavored peeps that look interesting, but haven't tried them yet.

R8, did John actually write the song because he thought Peeps were being ignored socially?

R2 I had a pregnant co-worker who was addicted to Circus Peanuts. She stashed them in a desk drawer and would wolf them down a few times a day. This was back in the day of cube farms so she had her privacy. I was flattered that she confided in me.

Stick them in the microwave for a couple of seconds and they’re delicious.

My mom loved stale peeps. 🤢
And circus peanuts.
I only like taking the peeps and putting them in the microwave and watching them swell up like the Hulk.

I can eat one peep per year at Easter time. More than that is just too sweet.

I am a Peeps geek. I bite the heads off of them, then toss the bodies in a pile to make peeps jerky.
The best of both Peeps world's.
