Marshmallow Peeps


Some of you know that I have this absurd Peeps obsession. I find them oddly fascinating, like the whole train wreck thing, I guess. I mean, I don't actually like them as candy; I think they are pretty gross. But here are some great Peeps web sites:

http://www.peepresearch.org/ This site is my fav and shows just how resilient those marshmallow goodies are.

http://www.lordofthepeeps.com/lotp/fotp.html This site incorporates all my favorite things: Lord of the Rings, Peeps, Beer, and boys. Well, maybe not beer and boys. But Peeps act out the LOR.

http://www.millikin.edu/staley/fluff/peep_research.html And here is a study of Peeps and their library and research habits. This appeals to the academic in me.

Really, truly, I think Peeps are gross as food, yet oddly fascinating as popular culture.
