Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the kitchen . . . it's another PEEPS show! My friend, Sara, shared with me an article about Peeps that is so disturbing that I simply cannot allow you people to continue to walk around innocently unaware. But brace yourselves. You may not sleep well tonight.
Peeps have been called "surprisingly polarizing" due to the passionate reactions they receive, both positive and negative. You either love 'em or you hate 'em. There doesn't seem to be any gray area when it comes to these sugary little rascals. A documentary entitled "The Power of the Peep" (there was actually a movie made about them?????), suggests that "they coexist as both cute and horrible. They're like a sugar Rorschach test. One person will see a Peep as a cute chick with beady eyes while another will see it as a grotesque blob with black, Satanic eyes." (All in favor of the latter choice, raise your hands.)
The marketing director for Just Born, the company that manufactures the little devils, says, "No one Peeps chick is the same as another. Each one has its own personality."
ITS OWN PERSONALITY?!?!?!?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!? It takes six minutes to make a Peep. It takes only six seconds to stomp on one. And that's my final word about PEEPS.
