Next, on my ever-increasing list of weird products at the store:
In fact, there were also Hot Tamales Peeps. And, on the flip side of this, there is Peeps Pepsi (AKA Peepsi).

No one actually eats Peeps, Chel. It’s part of the Easter Bunny mystique.

Peeps, candy corn, fruitcake, black licorice—Nobody actually eats any of these things. It’s one of life’s mysteries why they’re still around.

😀 One of my sons really likes Peeps.

…and black licorice, now you mention it.

Black licorice as a kid—not happening as an adult. Fruitcake makes a wonderful doorstop. As for candy corn? Wrong—it’s a woefully wrong invention.

Back in the day when I used to drink Dr. Pepper, I loved it! Back in the day when I used to consume sugar, I was known to eat Peep or two. These days? The photo is enough for me.

I think I would like to keep the two separate.

This leads me to further question the medical credentials of Dr. Pepper.

I don’t know what Peeps is, but Samuel Pepys wrote a famous diary that we had to study in post-graduate Music for hints as to how things were performed back then!

Ugh. Peepsi, as if Pepsi wasn’t sweet enough…lets make it taste like a sugar coated marshmallow. These are all gross.

Right?? My son tasted the Peepsi and says it has LESS sugar than regular Pepsi; I still don’t want to drink that.

Wow. I mean, I would try them if there were samples, but I wouldn’t want to buy them. Too risky.

I wish we lived closer. I’d split the cost and the package with you. But then we’d have to get at least two flavors to try.

What is it? Peeps??? Never heard of it. Looks terrible though. I mean I like Dr Pepper and all but I wouldn’t try that.

Peeps are marshmallows coated in sugar. They’re really branching out into many variants this year.

One peep has 34 grams of sugar. Men should have no more than 34 grams of sugar per day and women, no more than 24. Ever since I figured out the numbers, I have been shedding the pounds. In conclusion, don’t eat peeps and don’t give your kids peeps. Tell them the Easter Bunny hates them and hopped over the house. They will be traumatized for now but they’ll thank you when they don’t grow up to become lifelong sugar addicts.
Or tell them the Easter Bunny left them carrots.

Peeps is my favorite! I got some of the oddball flavors and gave them to my kids. They tried them with their friends and all agreed they like the originals better. Me, too. As I said to her, I guess you just can’t beat the all-time favorite combo of marshmallow + sugar. That reminds me – I hope it’s not too late to find Peeps at half-price now that the holiday’s over.
