Easter fun fact: Did you know that Peeps, the popular Easter treat, can withstand extreme temperatures and have a shelf life of fourteen years? And, though made of sugar, they don't dissolve in water. I think I'm the only person alive that thinks they are disgusting.
I want to wish all my readers who celebrate Easter to have a wonderful one. And thanks to a forward from Iceman, you can also have a jiggy one.

You Said
Trust me, you're not the only one. Those things are disgusting. They're like eating a sugar-coated sponge, only chewier.
Peeps are foul. Oh wait. No pun intended...

Those things make me dread Easter. I guess Wal-mart just recycles last years stock over and over .

I think they're cute but I think of them like I do that plastic grass in the basket - inedible. I like the malted milk eggs.

I like Peeps! I find they are at their best when you open the package and then let them "breathe" for a couple of days. yummy!

Peeps are the foulest candy products ever created. Tehey're like eating sandpaper wrapped around marshmallow fluff, the second foulest sweet product created.

Let's put 14 years into perspective. That's 1991. Clinton hadn't been elected to office; I was in 3rd or 4th grade; Cold war was still on peoples' minds; Saved by the bell was on the air; OJ wouldn't be acquitted for another 5 years or so.
That's enough for me.
Oh, and my mom used to put those things on the dashboard of my dad's car when she was mad at him. Not good during a hot, sunny day.
