My wife loves them. I hate them. Marshmallows should be covered with chocolate, not sugar and food coloring.

Ate 'em.

What's the nutritional value? Or can I stuff it with chicken?

Love 'em, but only after they've gotten the tiniest bit stale. Two or three day old peeps are the best - that's when that outer sugar coating has a little bit of a crunch to it. And for me, that's saying alot, because I just cannot stand any other kind of Easter candy. It's just all really over-the-top sweet to the point where even I don't like it. But slightly stale peeps are great.

So long as there's chocolate involved.

Never really ate Peeps much as a kid, other than when we'd play Chubby Bunnies.

Used to cleanse the palate between Cadbury Easter Cream Eggs and chocolate bunnies.

As someone who is allergic to chocolate, these are one of the few Easter candy options I have.

More innocuous than it sounds. You'd stuff your mouth with these things and say "chubby bunnies." Whoever could stuff the most and still say it without choking or laughing won.

Incredibly stupid, upon reflection.

I find Peeps nauseating. Too much sugary taste.

Now if they made a sour patch version...

You talk about nausating, I had a roomate in college that actually microwaved these things and the smell and site of them was so noxious I thought I was gonna to throw up.

My fiancee is exactly the same, she says stale Peeps are the best. Me, I don't really like marshmallows, so they don't do anything for me. For me, Easter is all about the Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs.

Like left-handed scissors, I'm not opposed to them being on the market; but I'll never have any use for them.

This is the most-correct answer. An acceptable substitute would be those little chocolate Cadbury eggs, not the ones filled with the creme goop.

I'm pretty sure stale peeps are an affront to all that is good and right in the world. In fact, the only good thing about peeps is the fun vacuum tube experiment from Chemistry class.

I've never had a Peep, and I kinda feel like it's too late to start now.

If chocolate was that good, there'd be no war. Booze, drugs, and sex get me through life ok.

But you have to lead your sad life without chocolate booze, chocolate drugs, and chocolate sex. And of course chocolate doesn't stop war. Just look at the Nestle - Hershey War of 1872.

This is totally off-topic, but was there really a sequel to The Chocolate War that was based around some kid's plot to guillotine the school bully on stage during a magic show? I remember reading this, but I also remember thinking the original was pretty good and grounded, so now I'm wondering if it wasn't some diabolical hobo posing as a librarian that passed his insane ramblings off to me as literature.

Peeps are like hot dogs...

One? Pretty great.
Two? Not too shabby.
Three? Something is wrong here.
Four? Death.

I'd probably like Peeps if that outer covering didn't taste like sugary ass.

Whoever mentioned Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs wins the thread.

No Country for Old Peeps is great, but the Peep Art one is just so perfect. Absolutely brilliant.
