This is a commercial features two kids, one of the kids talks about the various things you do with Peeps. This is a very annoying schtick used by various shows and movies.

Why did Peeps decide to use this, it is a very annoying technique!
One good thing about TV-you could always turn it off

Well, then, I'd go a step further to say that Forrest Gump ripped off every movie that came before it where characters discuss all the various things you can do with -insert here-

Oldest one I can remember is probably from The Egg and I.

It's a VERY general concept repeated plenty of times before and after Forrest Gump. It's not a rip-off. It's just an annoying commercial.

Target had orange-flavored ones.  3 regular sized Peeps for $1.50.   Sorry, No $ale at that rip-off price....
 
Kid:  "After my friend hits me in the face, I put them up my nose to stop the bleeding!"
Kid 2:  "I stuff them in my ears before I go swimming.  It keeps the water out!"
Kid:  "I stuff them in my mouth until they foam out, so people think I have rabies!"
Kid 2:   "I put them in my shoes for padding!"

Sometimes when I empty out the garbage, there is a bit of room left in the top of the bag, so I fill that empty space with Peeps.

Lord knows I don't hate myself enough to actually to eat that dreck.

Sugar-coated sponge.  Like cotton candy, no particular flavor---except for "sweet".

My sis-in-law likes them stale and chewy.

I'm likely going to be sorry for asking, but has Peeps ever done a commercial taking advantage of the more - urban - meaning of its name?

I keep wondering why they don't make Peeps that look like people. You know, like my 'peeps? I don't actually think I've said that word in that context, and I certainly don't eat peeps, so this wouldn't change anything for me, but it still seems odd... LOLLOL

Peeps pretty much relies on the whole holiday nostalgia thing. You figure you should get them because you always got them in your easter basket when you were a kid. So you get some at the store and then when you bite into it you finally realize you didn't really care for them when you were a kid either. Then the cycle repeats itself next easter.

I think I saw Dunkin Donuts has an Easter donut with a Peep in the center of it.

Really?  That's kind of a variation of the Italian Easter cookie tradition, which is a cookie that has a dyed hard-boiled egg---shell and all---plopped in the middle of it for some damned reason.

Never really understood the appeal, but here it is:

You'd think they'd have switched to colored candy eggs or chocolate eggs at some point during the 20th century.

They look sort of like Kaiser rolls.

The cookies are kinda soft, kinda dry, and not real sweet.  They're OK, though.  And hard-boiled eggs are hard-boiled eggs, so no problem there.  But, together???  It must have some sort of significance because the two things together make little sense.

If they were actually some type of bread & the eggs were peeled & ready to eat, it would be an interesting dish.

I remember brita was telling me about making Scottish meatballs.

Hard boiled eggs cooked inside a ball of seasoned ground beef, or maybe pork, etc.

Peeps do strange & scary things if you microwave them if I remember correctly...they either become extremely swollen and grotesque, or they simply explode -- soiling your microwave oven's cavity with molten marshmallow that's a real pain in the diodes to clean up.

I'd try that.  But you'd have the same thing if you just crumbled the egg into the cooked meat...and without the likelihood that the thing will break apart as you bite into it.  I guess the selling point is that it's on that stick.

Why don't they make flavored cotton candy?  All it seems they'd have to do is pour some Kool-Aid in with the sugar, to give it some sorta actual flavor.  I'd have liked orange, grape and raspberry cotton candy.

They actually do but it's usually really nasty sour flavored.  Usually available around Halloween I think (might sell it the rest of the year too...not into that)

Peeps are gross. I never liked them but they always came in my Easter basket. I'd give them to my older sister, who does eat them, and she'd give me her Whoppers (I used to love those things; now I can't eat them).

And that brat needs to shut the hell up about the things you can do with Peeps. You either eat them or toss them, end of story.

I love whoppers but between always getting some of those that have no air in them and a basically rock hard chunks of malt...and the fact that even with a healthy cavity-less mouth, they still manage to be so sweet my teeth hurt...I've gone without.

There's an off-brand sold in town that are just plain Malt Balls. Way less sweet, and don't have as much solid ones.

I have a small CC machine & will give that a try the next time I use it.  The worst that could happen mixing in the powder is that the CC would catch fire....  LOL

Whoppers are great.  Around Easter, I occasionally get a bag of the Robin's Eggs, which I think are Whoppers with a different coating.
