Peeps Show. The Washington post was expecting a dozen or so entrants for the first-ever Peeps Diorama Contest. They got somewhere north of 350 from across the world.

Consider the Marshmallow, and it’s offspring the
Peep. The marshmallow is said to have originated in Egypt as honey-based candy flavored and thickened with the sap of the root of the
Marsh-
Mallow plant.
Recently marshmallow have caused not
one, but
two deaths by suffocation from playing
Chubby Bunny.
Clearly this is retaliation from the bunny-like Peep, for the atrocities committed upon them in the
name of
research and
narrative! Will we resort to,
guns to solve the struggle? Or just give in and continue our
primative and
snooty and
cutsey and
basic way of flaming, making and eating the confectionary?

Studious peeps. A comprehensive and well documented look at the study habits and research practices of marshmallow Peeps.
"Our observations indicated that it was virtually impossible for Peeps to remove items from the upper shelves of the library stacks." Conclusion: Marshmallow Peeps have no business doing research at the university level.

Sure, sex and drugs have been associated with rock & roll from its very beginnings. But what about finely granulated sugar? See
defining moments in the history of rock and roll, as re-enacted by marshmallow peeps.

Peeps! All about peeps! So sweet and chewy and cute all over. Apparently, they're
not just for
Easter anymore. They've come a long way since I got the little yellow guys in my Easter basket as a kid, apparently. I had no idea this company had gotten so
far flung in its enterprise.

"I buy as many as I can. I freeze
them and we eat
them all year round,'' she said. Gross. More news on America's... no... the WORLD'S... favorite (cough, cough) treat.

Ah, Peeps, those resilient little birds. This is a neat
site on basic Peep science.
