Peep Insanity!*@!

With the Easter holiday approaching, I’ve noticed that more and more stores are stocking their shelves with a plethora of peeps.

I would secretively like every one to know, that I abhorred peeps with every fiber of my being.

Not only can I not stand they way they taste, but I think it’s horrendous that they no longer even LOOK like a peep. They have now morphed into every commercial holiday season on this planet.

Ok, correct me if I’m wrong, but is not a peep…a little baby chick?

Then tell me, why the hell should I have any interest in buying a peep ghost? A peep Christmas tree? A peep witch? Or a peep menorah ?

And the COLORS!?! They go from fuchsia to chartreuse.

Have you ever seen what your lips and tongue look like after you’ve eaten one?

Try eating a BLUE one and then look at yourself in the mirror….

I guarantee you’ll look like a cast member of the movie, "The Night of the Livng Dead."

And they don’t even taste like a marshmallow. They taste like your eating copious amounts of food color dye # 6 and a five pound bag of sugar.

It’s revolting.

When I was child, I could only eat peeps one way….

I would place a few of them in the freezer to get them as hard as a rock. And then afterwards, I would take my fingers and pinch the eyes off everyone of them.

(because I didn’t want them to see me as I bit into them)

My mother LOVES peeps.

(but she also loves those horrible orange marshmallow peanuts)

Gag me with a spoon!

Oh, well…to each his own

Anyway, if your out and about, and should decide to purchase peeps…I beg of you…at least get the traditional yellow ones that look like a chick, for god sake.

Because the REAL peeps of this world will sleep much better….

Toot- toot, hey….peep, peep!
