Peeps (a post-Easter tribute)

No, not you guys, I mean the candy.

Has anyone ever met anyone else that genuinely likes Peeps? I think they’re cute and fun to chew on, but I wouldn’t necessarily say that I like eating them. (I’d much rather gorge myself on Cadbury Eggs until I was rushed to the hospital, but that’s another story.)

Wikipedia says some people really like eating Peeps while they’re stale. Is this true? It sounds tempting. I have a box of five pink Peeps in front of me, and maybe I have decided their fate just now.

Peeps. They’re really not that tasty, yet I can’t get enough of them. I want to collect them and build a fort out of them. They’re…mystifying.

And that’s why, after years of not really knowing why people keep buying them, I believe they are still around.
