The peeps are cute ;)
Fascinating - I never knew so much about peeps! Did you know Peeps also make after school specials?!
WOW! I never knew Peeps were so important. No wonder they taste so delicious. If I get to taste another one, I think I will have to spit out the eyes; I didn't know the eyeballs were made of wax. Skeezix, thanks for doing this important research. I like to learn about snacks.
Eeeeeek! What am dem little birdies doin on dat lady?!
There's just something about those Peeps. Gotta love 'em
I think Peeps are good for liking, and I like marshmallo a lottttt, but not as much as cake.
This was a great research you did.
Here in Washington DC they have a Peeps diorama contest... I can't wait to see it.
I hope you have a fun day

They made PEEPS cats?!?! Was this for Halloween??? We sure would like us some PEEPS cats!
Peeps are yummy! One of my favorites!
wow! thanks for your diligent research. MUCH more excitin' than OUR TT.
an' we nefurr knew that peeps were for cats! mom's gonna buy us some. (SHE likes 'em best when they've sat out a long time unwrapped and gotten all stiffish.)
That is a WHOLE lotta peeps info, there my friend!
I learned lots & lots about the peeps!
This is important information we need to keep handy for reference purposes. I asked Momma to print the list out.
Patches
We printed the list too! Mine mommy saw the Peeps fun bus years ago on her way to school. Everyone thought she was nuts until she showed them it online. Crazy Peeps!
Thank you for sharing all that valuable research about Peeps. I've never seen one, but if I ever ran into one, I think I would be very brave and try to put the bitey on it.
Love,
Tazo
Thank yoo fur doing dis importint reseerch. Mom did not know dat dey maded sugar free peeps. Dis is furry good news bekaws daddy is diabetic and misses eeting da peeps wif da rest of da kids. Um, dad's not a kid he just plays one in reel life::snicker::
Oh I think if I liked to eat Peeps, which I don't, the PINK ones would be the best. Maybe I should make Mom look for a Peep kitty though.

Our mewspaper is hafin a call for pictors of peeps.
Click here.
Mom gotted some Halloween cat peeps that was aposed to be chocolate. They were kinda grey/brown.
A few years ago I saw a photo on the internet of the "passion play" made out of peeps. Now... I always thought the passion play had something to do with ... (whispers) that nasty thing that Tripper does to Tiger -- but apparently it has some religious meaning... something about Jesus and the crucifixion.
I've been looking for that Peeps internet photo but to no avail.
BTW -- nice blog entry about Peeps. I'm fascinated by them now. I need to get my paws on some.
Very informative, Skeezix. You are da Peepsmeister for sure!! But carnuba wax? Is that the same stuff I get in my ears?? YUCK!

Mom said that while she hates the taste of Peeps (grandma LOVES 'em), if you microwave them, they get BIGGER!
DMM
peep! peep!

Brit Kitty question here - what are Peeps made from? We don't have them in the UK. Are they made from sugar, or coloured chocolate, or what? I can't tell from the pictures!
Lots of interesting facts about Peeps! What are they exactly? I've never seen them in Canada or Germany.

Eric, Dragonheart, Peeps are marshmallows with colored sugar coating all ofur the outside. And wax eyes, nose, whatefur.
My goodness! That is alot of information about peeps that I didn't know about! Thanks for the education!
That's a lot of stuff about Peeps! We don't get them here much. The Big One likes to let them get all old, which my OTW thinks is yucky, but she doesn't like mashmallow anyway.
She does like like doing something she calls "Frank and Steining" I don't know who Frank or Steining are though.
Since you seem to be the Peeps expert, I need to ask for my forthcoming "Vishus Deer in the Media" expose, do they make vishus deer Peeps?
I have always assumed that everybody hates the taste and texture of peeps like I do. they are cute, so I assume that people buy them for their looks but throw them away uneaten. Now I'm thinking, "Maybe not." Thanks for coming by my blog.
Neat Peeps squeaks! And they last forever!

There's a fun peeps site too! Fun TT Skeezix! I'm up too.
There was no such thing as peeps where I grew up but in a fit of lunacy I found peeps when I was around 24 and tried them - EEP! Sugar rushes like that need to be limited to little children.
Were with BeauBeau and Angie...thare are burds on that lady...vary strange clowthing she has on.
If it takes ovur 70 million peeps to stretch frum noo york to Los Angulus....how many "Skeezix's" wuld it take?
Owr guess... 9.4 million!!!
our Lady just sent the link to the Peep Research to her entire family - she says thank you very much!
