With Easter coming upon us, the store shelves are starting to fill up with Peeps. I myself will buy a box of the, slit a hole in the box and let it sit for two to three weeks(they are better hard). I think the longest I let them get ‘stale’ is about 1 year.
If it’s the bunny kind, I bite off the right ear, then the left, then the head, and finally the body in 2 bites. The actual chick peeps go in the microwave for 3-4 seconds apiece, and are eaten whole.
mmmmmm…peeps!
Okay, how weird is this? I wait until they get really stale. Then I bite off a piece and wait until it’s soft in my mouth. Then I chew and eat.
I like them stale, too, and I always suck the sugar off before I eat it.

Peeps are disgusting.
::ducking and running::
Hah! Democritus took the words right out of my mouth. And I’ll bet he’d rather eat them, too, instead of those bizarre, garishly colored, pre-mummified at the factory for your convenience, jawbreaking, tooth-ripping, chemical-laden concoctions that the North Vietnamese would have thought twice about feeding the bomber pilots they shot down over Hanoi. And I’ll bet many of them date from that era, too. Good god, what is it about holidays that brings out the worst in America’s confectioners? We have Easter, we have Christmas, with its dreaded fruitcake, and don’t even get me started on Halloween. What next? Fourth of July candies that detonate in your mouth?
Heck is where you go when you don’t believe in Gosh.
Neuro, they’re called pop rocks.
Peeps are properly eaten only after they’ve valiantly competed in a Peep Duel.
For the uninitiated, you take two Peeps, stick a toothpick in each one under one wing, and arrange them on a plate in jousting formation. Then you put 'em in the microwave and nuke 'em. First Peep to engulf the other one wins.
And they’re delightfully gooey afterwards. 
A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door.
Leave them on the shelf.
Forever.
Or until the stocking person removes them and they get replaced with the candy for the next holiday.

I wait for 'shmallow peeps all year. I buy one box (just one), run home and immediately eat the entire box in one sitting.
It usually takes until the next Easter to recover from my self-loathing and shame, but I can never resist.
Applying computer technology is simply finding the right wrench to
pound in the correct screw.
I take them camping and roast them over an open fire until they burst into flames. Then I blow out the fire (on the peeps) ,let it cool for a minute and then toss that god-awful confection to the dog.
Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
Sure torture the poor dog! Why don’t you just kick him while your at it too? Everyone knows Peeps are EVIL!!!
Find my shape by the moonlight, why my thoughts aren’t so clear.
Peeps must be akin to cilantro. Love 'em or hate 'em.
Peeps can’t be good for dogs. They’re good for doorstops, though.
Your right how could I treat my dog like that!!! I’ll feed them to the neighbor’s dog instead.
NTG, you’re right on with that one. You go girl!
Hate doesn’t seem to be a strong enough word. Those peeps are just gross. They’re in that same yucky category as fruitcake and brussel sprouts.
Work is fine for killin’ time, but it’s a shaky way to make a living.
Just bite off the head, and then eat the rest! What’s the deal? It’s just colored and shaped marshmallow!
Sheesh!

I’m always amazed what I learn on this board. I thought I was the only adult with a secret propensity for peeps. MMMM PEEPS. (much better stale IMHO)

Gee, call me crazy, but what are peeps? They’re obviously some kind of Easter candy. Is it a brand name?

What…are…peeps?
You didn’t ask that question. No one heard you. Just get out now, while you still can!
(Peeps are those little animal shaped marshmallow Easter candy things. They’re very good. Really.)
This space blank, until Wally thinks up something cool to put here.
