The ultimate survival food. No canning, no freeze-drying necessary. Just keep it in the original package. Instant energy for fighting off hordes of zombies in the near future.
Lol. At the library I worked we had Peep Diorama contests. I did a War of the Worlds with Peeps on sticks and general mayhem all around my shoe box and I got to burn and melt a few. They harden nicely and I made trophies for winners by spray painting a few of those dried up mini monsters gold and silver. The kids were very creative using book titles etc. like Harry Peeper.
I just found a site/yt on Electroculture. I'm getting the material to build aether collectors! ( I thought I had tons of fine copper wire! I'd saved the round motor thingie of wrapped wire and magnets from my old washing machine...but when I stripped some of the coating off, it was ' tin' looking. Now I'm wondering what it could possibly be,because it'd have to be electricity conductive...or why use it??)
Andy ,my planet is wondrous. Should you be capable of freeing yourself from Canuckistan, I'd buy you lunch. If there's still eateries and food is affordable. I have my first baby chicks ...I. 6 months I could make you an omelet! 😁
It depends entirely on your age. When I was 5, these looked--and tasted--delicious. At 72, they look disgusting---I have no idea of the taste as my eyes command my mouth.
They're some odd/weird/strange marshmallow confection with color and sugar on the outside. (At least back in the day there was sugar sprinkled on the outside.)
I'm coming out here as a Peeps lover. Particularly the ones whose lower halves have been dipped in chocolate. Slinking away, shamefaced, and chocolate-smeared . . .
All but the last are the only valid types of uses for Peeps. They certainly cannot be considered "tasty " ,and " edible " is only relative. Foxglove and Nightshade are " edible " but I'd also advise against it...
My kids still laugh... my mother-in-law thought peeps were cute and something humans would actually eat, so she gave them to all our kids. The kids obviously wouldn't have anything to do with them, so naturally, they gave one to the dog. He sniffed at it and turned away. Called back and offered it again, he felt he had to be polite, so he took it gingerly between his front teeth. Then, he wandered over to the woods next to the yard, dug a hole, dropped it in, and buried it. Like you do with inedible garbage. A year later, the exact same result.
Hold onto them until next year. The shelf-life of those suckers is measured in years, not months.
Park them right next to the Twinkies!
Stale peeps are much better than fresh ones. Better tactile experience.
Oh yeah! I love stale peeps.
Agreed! The texture improves with time and air.
Spot the prepper.
Guilty as charged...
Decades! 🤣
Peeps and cockroaches--the only survivors of the imminent nuclear conflagration.
Never eat anything that bacteria refuse to eat.
I thought it was millennia. 😉

If you are truly a serious sugar addict, you could make a Dr. Peeper float. Or not?

One of these days I may visit your planet. Must be an interesting place.

probably aluminium alloy, i know they use it a lot here in old telecoms, i have a reel somewhere. cheaper
I wonder if it can still be used ... 🤔
as i have no idea what aether collectors are its hard to say, but as long as its conductive..
All that to say...the human body is completely electro-chemical. We're complex circuitry.

My mother in law, God rest her soul, seriously insisted that children had no taste buds until they were 3...Sometimes you wonder
They're marshmallow based and covered in fine sugar.
ah ty, im a full carnivore now cos i ate too much crap like that as a kid!

They're marshmallows.
Peeps are best when left to go stale. They get nice and chewy! Watermelon is my fav!
My wife is a wonderful person. I love her dearly. But she *likes* peeps. To eat.
And Gato is encouraging her. Inconceivable!
I'm coming out here as a Peeps lover. Particularly the ones whose lower halves have been dipped in chocolate. Slinking away, shamefaced, and chocolate-smeared . . .
Isn't that awful sticky? Having your lower half dipped in chocolate?
Sticky food things in the wrong places is one of my great minor horrors. That pincushion is the worst of a nice little gallery of distress.
But imaginative--yes, full marks for that!
It seems most of you guys are heathens, you don't like Peeps? How are you going to get your daily dose of Red Dye #3?

For the record, I ate 10 yesterday, they only have 27.5 calories per chick.
Float a peep on you cup of hot chocolate. You don't need to buy cocoa mix with mini marshmallows afterall. How about peep s'mores? MORE SUGAR!
Roasted peeps are my favorite!!!
🔥🔥🔥
Would you feel differently about peeps if they looked like gatos?
Adorable ideas! First laugh of the day. Thanks.

Like many other words today, "edible" has been redefined. Often. Consider that which is sold as "fast food".
If "to fast" means not eating, how can you have fast food?
My thinking was - its neither "fast", nor "food". But your observation re the absurdities of English fits too.
You ain't wrong.

Microwave for a quick charcoal starter
What a wonderful black and white cat pic. Peeps...yuck.
This was unnecessary and makes me feel weird to be human. wink emoji mentally inserted for sly effect.
