Am I the only one who thinks "Peeps" are disgusting?
It's not Easter yet, but there are valentine's peeps out. My friends can't get enough of these puffed marshmallow treats from Satan. I, on the other hand, think they're downright disgusting. And I like marshmallows!

What are your opinions on this extremely important issue? ;)

13. They have uses other than eating.
Leave the package open for awhile and they get hard like bricks. Throw them at someone.

While they're still "fresh" and squishy, you can lick 'em on the back and stick 'em on things. Like cars that have just been detailed, for example.

29. The paint job might not.
But actually, bologna slices work better. Wait for a hot day and bologna a few Hummers on the hood (re-read that sentence and see if it sounds any less absurd the second time). If the bologna isn't found for a good while, it will probably have etched a little circle into the paint.

I used to be a bit of a bad kid. :evilgrin:

49. Yes, but like everything in life, you gotta time it correctly.
They need to be just starting to get hard, yet still be chewy.

Too hard and you'll chip a tooth.

After that, they make better projectiles and weapons.

RPP = Rocket Propelled Peeps
IEP = Improvised Explosive Peep
P-16 = Milirary issue Peep firing Rifle

I could go on...

I wouldn't say this site necessarily preaches hatred of Peeps, but it shows a certain willingness to abuse them. It's hilarious, though.

Scientists: Soft, chewy Peeps nearly indestructible

April 10, 1998

Web posted at: 10:30 p.m. EDT (0230 GMT)

ATLANTA (CNN) -- Inspired by a sugar rush after consuming several of the ubiquitous Easter confections known as Peeps, Emory University scientists James Zimring and Gary Falcon decided to try to find out just what it was they were eating.

Using everything this side of a nuclear device, these intrepid scientists conducted experiments to discover just what would dissolve a Peep. As CNN's Ann Kellan reports, what they found was that these are some of the sturdiest birds not found in creation.

The cookie dough flavored gingerbread men Peeps Santa put in my daughter's stocking at Christmas were truely disgusting. Even she, (a true Peep lover through and through) couldn't eat them.

I prefer my Peeps stale with a crust thank you very much.
