I always got yellow peeps (that is all they came in when I was a kid) in my Easter basket. I never liked them, but always bought them for my children's Easter baskets. They never liked them either. We hosted exchanged students (5 over 4 years) and the only girl that liked them was our Russian girl. The Japanese and Thai thought they were hideous, but sent them home to their families to try. No one liked them. One Japanese mother didn't want her daughter to tell us she thought they were terrible, but once she found I didn't like them either, we all had a good laugh.

My husband loves peeps - especially "old" ones. Easter ones are best in July - just let them sit in the windshield of the car for awhile to get soft and chewy again. I know he is a strange one - but he is my strange one.

My significant other does the same; i.e., pokes a hole in the package and lets them set for a year. Strange! _ :roll:
Tell him if you put them on top of the fridge, where the heat from the back rises up, they get hard much faster. LOL

on a trip to upstate new york (hello, karla) the peep factory could have been a kind of side trip. we called ahead to make arrangements for their tour. sadly, they stopped giving tours!!
we were VERY disappointed. we all love the yellow peeps. once you start playing with the colors, they lose something, don't they?

I love all peeps, no matter what color or shape. I don't eat many anymore.

Absolutely love them! My favorites were always the pink bunnies and yellow chicks. Last year our local Michael's craft store had them on clearance for .25 per package and boy did I have fun!

I am like you I love peeps. And you are right you can't eat just one. I have to eat the whole box or two as the case may be.
