If left open in a cabinet for a few weeks to solidify they are edible, but fresh, Peeps are an abomination. ---

I decided not to bump this thread to mention it years ago, but since **Elendil 2.0** did, I’ll share a travel tip: Go to church. Bear with me here… We were bumming around Florida (Keys, Sanibel Island…) and walked into a random church\* in Ft. Myers Beach on Easter morning. The pastor had all the kids come down and sit on a rug with him, and gave a sermon based on PEEPS! Then he passed out Real Peeps (no crazy flavors or sprinkles)… _to everyone in the church!_ _Halleloooooooooo…!_ \*Sorry, no idea which denomination. White bread Protestant (Methodist, Congo, Presby?), oh, one stained glass window had a seagull in it, if that helps. ---

This is what I think of when I think of peeps which is not very often: [Lord Of The Peeps](http://www.lordofthepeeps.com/) Just because you can put something in your mouth doesn’t make it edible. ---

Dave Barry had a column a long time back where he explained where foods you eat end up in your body. Vienna sausages end up in the penis and Marshmallow Peeps became– PUS! ---

I have no opinion. We did not have Peeps when I was a young’un. I cannot recall seeing them in a store, even. Only heard of them in my late 30s. Still have not seen one IRL, in or out of a package. Somehow I do not feel like I am missing out on anything. ---

Put a Peep in the microwave and set it on high for 20 seconds or so. Highly educational. ---
