Thanks for the clip Steve. I love that film.

I prefer this bunny...

Happy Easter fellow Fretters. :)
 
I was going to post earlier but after all the chocolate and Peeps I couldn't sit still long enough to do it...so I went for a bicycle ride.

Happy Easter all.

Peeps???

I've read enough about how you watch what you eat that I just can't imagine you eating a peep. If you did, you must of trained on Twinkies for a few months leading up to Easter.
 
i've not been a sweets fan since i was a child,

and the thought of eating a peep gives me a rash.

but one decadent thing i loved as a 'tween' was a cadberry creme egg.

[shudder]

Happy Easter, y'all...

Momentary lapse of reason. I got on the bandwagon.

Peeps Facts:

In 1953, it took 27 hours to create one Marshmallow Peep. Today, it takes six minutes.

The first Peeps were squeezed one at a time out of a pastry tube and the eyes were painted on by hand. Now, machines create 3,500 Peeps' eyes per minute.

Just Born's Bethlehem, Pa., factory makes more than 1 billion Peeps a year -- that's 4 million Peeps a day.

Americans will eat more than 600 million Marshmallow Peeps and Bunnies this Easter.

Popular ways to eat Peeps: stale, microwaved, frozen, roasted, or served as toppings on pizza.

Until 1995, when lavender was added, Peeps only came in three colors: yellow, pink and white. Blue Peeps were hatched for Easter in 1998.

Each Peep has 32 calories (160 calories per five-chick serving) and 0 fat grams.

Yellow Peeps are the most popular, followed by pink, lavender, blue, then white.

During Easter, Peeps outsell jelly beans.

Peeps-manufacturer Just Born also makes Hot Tamales, Mike and Ike, Just Born Jelly Beans and Teenee Beanee gourmet jelly beans.
 
Yeah, like I said earlier, peeps are dangerous. Never did get into them. Bleh! Jelly Beans and Dove dark chocolate mini-eggs are a different story though. Oh, and bunny ears!

Another little known fact is that the first peep still exists and is still eatable. Today it sits in a museum alongside a Twinkie made in 1953 that is also considered eatable. A couple of displays down from them is a lone hotdog that is turning on a cooking ferris wheel. I am happy to report that it is not considered eatable.
