I used to think that orange circus peanuts were the worst candy ever to be expelled from the bowels of Beelzebub. Then I had a peep. ---

I’ll stand up in defense of the peeps. We make a delicious toasted marshmallow flavored latte topped with a peep. Power to the Peeps!! 😃 ---

> [@Simplicio](#): > > Yea, they’re basically just brightly coloured disappointment. They look so happy and tasty, and then you put one in your mouth, and its like someone sprinkled sugar on Styrofoam. And its all chewy, so its not like you can just swallow and get the experience over with, you have to sit there and chew it before you can get it down, reflecting on the unfairness of a universe that would produce something so joyfully tasty looking on the outside, and so disgusting on the inside, reminding yourself never to trust again. Like a cow chewing on cud, except I imagine cud tastes better. Shakespeare could not have put it more succinctly. ---

Ok, people, if your peeps are hard and chewy, they’re stale. Go get some fresh ones, which are light and fluffy, and well, a marshmallow with sugar on it. Delicious. ---

Cadbury Cream Eggs are Manna from Heaven. The best thing is waiting until right after Easter and going to the store and hoarding all of them up since they’re on sale. > [@Annie-Xmas](#): > > Peeps have no fat and fewer calories than chocolate. That’s probably why they suck so bad.
