It's that time of year, my friends!! Head on down to your local drug store, and buy you some of those yummy yellow-sugar-coated-marshmellow goodness!!

also... I dunno if any of you have ever noticed, but on the box for Peeps, it says "marshmellow Peeps"... does that mean they have other kinds, too? Can I get some fillet minon Peeps? What about human flesh peeps?

mmmm.... Pork Peeps.

I love the peep stress tests some websites do each year. My fav result was the Sulphuric Acid test, where the only thing that survived was the little peep eyes. Too frightening for my tastes.

I have an addiction to peeps. I eat one, and then I just have to have another, and another... then, I get all sick because peeps are disgusting, then I can't eat the other 3 in the package, and I have to wait until next year when they come back out. Ah, what a complex life.

Peeps are the best. My favorite is to slash a few packages and wait for then to become the rare delicacy known as “crunchy peeps”

what is the most anybody has ever eaten in one sitting?

Posted by Sithiee on Feb. 20 2001,00:19

eaten? 20 or so, kept in stomach? maybe 3

Um... 4. That's why I can only eat 3 now.

3 freggin' boxes! and that's *without* throwin' up! i've been eating this junk since I was little, and I think my dad's alcholism gave me a strong stomach... After I finished off the first 2 and half boxes, though, I felt like I was gonna hurl all over my neighbor's lap, but then she told me if I finished the last box she'd let me fall asleep in her lap so I ate the rest quick... it's a damned shame she moved, she's hot as hell

Peeps are marshmallow-like candies shped like small birds. They make you a bit sick, but it's worth it. Peeps only come out around easter time, just like Cadbury Creme Eggs. Chocolate coated goo... and marshmallow... *drools*

*wipes chin* Sorry. Peeps are coated with multi colored sugar, making them yellow, purple, pink, or blue. They also have eyes made of a wax like substance. It is widely held that the eyes are totally indigestible, but who cares? Peeps have recently come in rabbit shaped, so now you have a choice as to the type of fluffy animal you wish to devour. Now, if you gentlemen will excuse me...

*runs to go buy some*

Masher-yer from Oz right? I sent my friend who live in Melbourne some- she said that she ate them all at once and was so sick from it.
My former roommate had hers when the first came out a couple years ago (say Feb) but didnt eat them until the last day of school (May) and had them open the whole time (crunchy was not the word I would use to discribe them).
Personally, I like mine soft and fluffy- never really took notice of how many i could eat at once. I can tell you this the Cadbury's eggs I can only eat maybe 2 in a 10 min period, then I will get sick. The caramel ones arent so bad but god damn thats a lot of caramel.
I figure since I cant trick or treat any more Easter is now my favourite holiday because of all the candy (22 and my mom still makes the three of us easter baskets, gotta love mom)
Anyway I love peeps, Im gonna have to get some after work today

My fav are the Cadbury Mini Eggs... it's too bad that they're soo goddamn expensive.

Oh, and my grandma still hides easter eggs for me and my brother (so what if I'm 19...)

I like the Cadbury Creme eggs, though I can only handle a couple at a time. They are a bit rich...

Hahaha, please post that movie.
The other day I ate about 7 of them in one sitting a I nearly puked.
BTW, if you puke you should include it in the video. Nothing says “eating 32 peeps” like puking.

man... i have no idea what these thigns look like or how big they are... can someone post a picture, with their hand next to it or something so we can get a size comparison?

Posted by whiskey@throttle on Mar. 03 2001,08:50

In some third world countries, Peeps are used as weapons.

(not sure if you knew that)

Ever have a "stuff Peeps in your mouth" contest? I've heard of people swallowing a ball of about 15, only to have the mass of marshmallow sponge re-expand in their throats and choke them to death. Awesome.

and while you're at it, could you do a dissection for us?

Give us a look at the innards of these unknowns...

Now you're scaring me!! I just saw they had 4 colors now, and I was going to do a box of each (isn't it 8 to a box?) If it's 10, I'll just do 2 boxes. I gotta make sure this cammera can record long enough to get it... hmmm... better buy a bucket too...

Mmmmm...peeps.

Lesse..I have at home some christmas tree peeps (in the freezer, they are still safe, and two packages of valentines day peeps (mm...artificial strawberry flavoring). You have to love peeps, but there is something so cannibalistic and unnatural about them. Biting the heads of of poor squishy defenseless little chicks. Squish!

Erm...back to the little padded room.

quote:

The marshmallow mixture starts in big kettles where all of the ingredients are mixed together. This mixture is known as slurry. The slurry then goes through a whipper to give the marshmallow its fluffy texture.
Color is added to sugar in big pans to mix it all together. Peeps and Bunnies come in yellow, pink, lavender, and blue colors. They also come in white, but no coloring is added to the sugar for the white ones.
The marshmallow is then deposited on belts in familiar shapes - Peeps, Bunnies and Eggs for Easter, Snowmen and Trees for Christmas, Pumpkins, Spooky Cats and, new for Halloween 1999, Ghosts. The colored sugar covers the belts so the marshmallow is now coated with sugar on the bottom. The belt carries the marshmallow through a wind tunnel that stirs up all the other sugar lying on the belt so that the entire marshmallow shape gets covered with the sugar.
A marshmallow parade keeps moving on the belt to receive its eyes or other decorations before moving on to the packaging area.
Once they reach the packaging area, the Peeps automatically move into their trays which are then overwrapped with clear film. The Bunnies, on the other hand, are hand packed into their trays by marshmallow packing experts wearing sanitary gloves. The trays also get overwrapped with clear film. Once the package is finished and inspected, it gets placed into a large case which is shipped to your favorite store.

mmm yummy.

Peeps are little sugar-coated antichrists. Just thought you should know.

Seen them tho.

Posted by whiskey@throttle on Mar. 07 2001,05:57

Slurry? The amalgamated goo is called slurry?

Isn't that what you call gonorrhea-related discharge?

Might as well call if smarf. Or mung.

i know somebody who likes them stale...but i hate them like that so i have to eat the whole package at once so they're nice and fresh. have you noticed that the yellow ones taste way better than the pink when you eat the peeps and when you eat bunnies the pink ones taste better? go figure. cadbury's are gooood. so are those white chocolate bunnies they used to make when i was a kid.

A slurry is a watery mixture of an insoluable substance.

Posted by whiskey@throttle on Mar. 08 2001,14:32

Yeah. One would think they would choose a more "edible" name, though.

Posted by masher on Mar. 09 2001,09:52

I saw some today in the shops.

Didn't buy any though... didn't have any money with me.
