The saddlebreds issue is sad and deserving of attention, but referring to people as "peeps" (those sugary marshmallow easter things?) and haranguing them at the same time is not the best motivational strategy.

I would love to donate to every worthy organization out there, but it is just not possible. I have my chosen ones, and the saddlebreds are not included. I don't think this makes me a bad person or deserving of your criticism.

Now, if someone wants to organize a movement to save those poor, innocent, cute little sugary peeps that are consumed by the millions this time every year, I may check under the sofa cusions for some spare change...

Every year, my mom (who works weekends in a Hallmark store to help support my horse habit) brings home crates of Peeps after Easter. First, we blow through a few boxes, then the dog gets them for dinner, and finally the cats get their turn.

My personal favorite peep-torture is to put them in the microwave for a few seconds - watch those bunnies expand! Whoo! Too much fun..

Moesha -- I guess by scare tactics, I felt that she gave the impression that those horrid people were going to get the horses back unless people sent money to her organization. It made me more than a little suspicious, and I was very put off by her post, because I am involved with several horse rescue groups and rescue bbs and we get a lot of solicitations like these. Unfortunately, many of the requests turn out not to be legitimate.

Marshmallow peeps -- yummy!

It has long been my impression that those people who most aggressively solicit your money are not, usually, the most deserving of it. I think these boards are close to being spammed by Krashgirl, though I say that with reservations since I'm not entirely sure what spam is--except that I lived near Philly for a couple of years and know about edible spam which probably has about as much nutricional value as those embattled Peeps I keep hearing about. /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

Anyway, I guess this was a long-winded way of saying that my donations are not going to save either Saddlebreds or Peeps. At least not this Easter. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Here I am, 23, and have never encountered a peep. Do we have them up here in the frozen north? Could you consider them main-course fare? Do they cry when you eat them in front of their friends?

I'm always intrigued by any member of the 'sugar' food group.

Peeps ship well. Krispy Kreme's require special handling, refrigerator cars, etc. Peeps are born to be stale so they can go ground /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

A surplus crop available in quantity.

Sparkling sugar coated pale pink, lavender, yellow, green and blue renditions of marshmallow bodied baby barnyard animals.

Stiff, chewy, sugar on sugar Peeps. Boxed in sets, row upon row bound together in groups of five and all on sale for $.99 US.

Some have googly eyes. Some have faces done in contrasting sugar crystals. Most have skewed features due to the inaccuractness of the liquid marshmallow squirting machine.

There is an official Peep web site. I must go search my archives. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Now Cadbury mini eggs, on the other hand= AMBROSIA! Truly food of the gods! I am not talking about the weird chocolate ones with the yolk inside, I mean the little ones with the hard candy shell and the perfect Cadbury chocolate inside.

I don't eat 'em either. Once upon a time, marshmellow was made in part from cow and horse hoof to get that gelatinous consisitancy. Don't know if that's still the case or not. Secondary to that, I am compulsive about my teeth and all that sugar would rot them right out of my head.

I haven't a clue what these 'peeps' are, of what they're constituted (horse hooves? Ewwww!), and don't have even a remote or passing interest in them. True, yes, I don't do sweets.

Though, must say, I do have in my kitchen, the best-stocked candy basket in the hemisphere - Lindors anyone, perhaps some Butterfingers, Fruit by the Foot, why, yes, we have those too.

NoGreatMischief, we bid you well on your reconaissance mission at Loblaws. Goodness knows if you're venturing to the one in my neighbourhood, you'll need it.

NoGreatMischief
Apr. 4, 2001, 04:52 PM
Warning: this is long, but bear with me. I'm in serious procrastination mode...

O.K...I've been to the local Loblaws, which was busier than the manure pile in July (Jane and Dundas, heidi...not too scary. Though I've been to some of the HUGE outlets with Movenpicks and the like...but I digress).

Once I made it through the veggie area, I hit the seasonal candy aisle, picking up a six-pack of various cadbury eggs, and a ten dollar bag of Mini-Eggs along the way. Then, I saw them, roosting quietly and harmlessly, ignorant of their imminent fate. One look at their plump little countenances and I knew I was beat. The rest of my time in the store was but a blur, as I proceeded through checkout and into the car with my payload.

Did I wait until I got home to sample? Of course not. It was in the parking lot of the Loblaws where I tasted a peep for the first time. With a zeal even Willy Wonka would envy, I managed to eat the first row of five even before I made it home.

I guess you could say I like them! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I now understand why I was never exposed to them before...if my mother got one whiff...okay, one look at a peep she would wire my jaws shut in a minute. She has a cavity paranoia when I was younger, so sweets were moderated. Now that she's had a root canal, she figures she's paid her dues, and buys much candy. Of course, I don't live there anymore, but I know all her hiding spots! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Now, if I can only save some for when the husband comes home...

"Peeps? What makes you think I was eating peeps...?" NGM breathes as she gazes at her 'sweetie' with glazed eyes, wiping the gritty sugar off her face
"...You know how much I love fluffy yellow chicks..."

There are a lot of people these days who beg for money, pretending to be from a charity, when actually they just pocket the money to buy beer and go to the movies with their friends.

Okay, so here's a secret (all Queens have them, you know!). When I first started with my new doctor, he wanted me to try to maintain my weight. And one of the things I was told to eat was marshmallows, because they're high in calories but haven't any fat. So... does this mean peeps are medically indicated? Do I need a prescription for my peeps? Will they be covered by my insurance?

Will I have to go onto the black market to buy my dose of peeps?

Even though I am not fond of eating PEEPS I can't help myself from checking out what new colors are introduced. There is something mezmerizing about row upon row of PEEPS.

Sorry to all PETP members, but I LIVE to torture Peeps!!! Every Easter in memory centers around those icky pastel creatures planting their sugary little butts in my Easter basket! Nothing like the sight of a stale 3 month old Peep with Easter grass still stuck to its body to prompt me to make good use of the little critters. I like to...

Rip them apart and float them in hot chocolate, or stick one whole on top and watch the bottom half of its body slowly melt away.

Roast them in a fireplace until their wings are charred and therefore looks like they've been hanging around an oil slick.

Pour molten chocolate over their heads.

Yank of their heads and feed them to the horses.

Okay, now I'm starting to feel sorry for the dozens of Peeps I've tortured in my lifetime. I'm off to the store now, to make peace (peeps?) with the rows and rows of multicolored chickies. But I don't think I'll be buying any. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

(By the way, I agree with whoever thinks that the Cadbury eggs are the best! I get a few of the 4-packs every year- I LOVE them!!!)

I do enjoy munching on a few during the Easter season! However, I also enjoy stringing them up or impaling them on the memo stands you get at the office supply stores. At one of my prior places of employment they used to hang them from the ceiling by coat hangers in various positions. That was years ago & it be lot more colorful nowadays with all the pretty colors & different varieties!

You may have nightmares about PEEPS but they have taken up residence in my tack trunk.

Unbeknownst (sp?) to me - two of my fellow amateurs PEEP'ed me /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

When I opened my trunk last night - I found a plethora of PEEPS perched upon all my prized possessions!!!

There were acres of PEEP pasture (Easter grass) for PEEPS to graze on. There was even a PEEP pond for them to paddle in.

I was so stunned I did nothing to disturb the PEEPS.

A couple of PEEPs were consumed by the younger boarders. No PEEP torture was involved - their deaths were quick.

As ETBW so astutely observed, peeps are corrosive. When the remaining peep in my tale of horrors heard the sizzle of Hobson's shoe and hoof, it too leaped from its perch on the fence and ATTACKED THE BARN CAT!! Luckily, the boy who'd came out to see what all the commotion was about was able to pluck the vicious peep from the cat's head before it managed to chew off an ear!

To make a long story short, my great aunt, who passed away a couple of years ago & who was my fondest "drinkin' buddy", had a thing for "peeps", & every Easter in her honor I buy a fresh package of "peeps" for the breadbox - tossing the old. (We have 2 packs this year - one was a gift from a neighbor.)

Geez, just realized how unbelievably weird that sounds. . . Oh well, not really that much weirder than a lot of other things I've read on this board's archives. . .

I assume that the bread box meets the size and environmental requirements as set down by federal regulation for adequate housing of experimental animals.

my eyes would be forever wounded!

I may try the nice peep window treatments though. I think they would look lovely in the summer heat covered with flies.

Upcoming holiday uses for peeps:
* Bobbing for peeps
* Handing out peeps as trick-or-treat candies
* Dress up in a peep costume (surround self with styrofoam, then have friend spray paint you in your choice of appropriate neon peep color)

And in November...
* Surprise your honored relatives and assorted guests when you present your gorgeous roasted turkey, fresh from the oven, stuffed with your own homemade recipe of Peep Dressing!Imagine the compliments you'll get! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I thought I was the only one. A guilty, over 50 female, who devours peeps wholesale. Goes through the checkline saying "oh, the kids just love them....." (What kids? I'm single.). Won't put them in the kitchen where my roomie might see them...... Gad! I'm not alone any more. I'm not the only one. I don't have to join Peepaholics Anonymous.. Thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU!!!!!!

So glad you are trained in peep CPR - as that must be the only way this thread has come back to life...(to haunt us?)

Ah, the chicky pippy cake rises again! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

You wouldn't believe it, but my mother actually baked me one! Beezer shamed her into it. Then I had to, of course, oblige everyone by consuming it, slice by sugar-encrusted slice. /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

I believe my sister's comment was something like, "After everything you wrote on the COTH BB, you'd better eat that *@!* pippy cake or I'm going to cram it down your $@!^ throat!" /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

While perusing the Official Peeps website, I discovered that their factory is in Bethlehem PA - the same place where KRASHGIRL lives!! Coincidence, no???

So it was all just a peeps marketing plot by KRASHGIRL?

What will these advertising types think of next?
