All we are saying is give Peeps a chance

April 20, 2011 in blog fodder,cadbury creme eggs,Easter candy,me being silly,peeps with 33 Comments

I’ve never been a big fan of Peeps candy, but last year I found a fun and calorie-free way of enjoying the sugary marshmallow treats. Enjoy:

What can we learn?

That we can enjoy Easter candy without having to eat it.
That I am easily amused.
That maturity is mostly overrated.
That Cadbury Creme Eggs are vile and disgusting. (Okay, we didn’t really learn that, but they are…)

(And yeah, that’s me giggling in the background. Sorry/you’re welcome.)

  Oh my gosh! Those are BRILLIANT! I especially love the split peep soup, but I have a rather sick sense of humor. (In case you haven’t noticed.)

Amen – I never liked them either – they are getting what they deserve!!! It’s what they do to people!!!! Too much sugary marshmellowy ich – and the music choice for the bunnies made it all so peaceful and warm. ƪ(◠‿◠)╯ Still smiling. God bless.

Yes, I’m laughing, but mostly because you were laughing and it’s fun to picture you there with your camera getting all tickled over expanding marshmallows.

The jar was definitely my fave, though the bunny back bends were nice, too. Sort of reminded me of the slow motion fight scene choreography in movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, only not. At all.

  YES!!!! I knew those bunnies reminded me of something! I may have to reenact a fight scene from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Now THAT would be epic!

Thanks for your unusual rendition of Peeps and more Peeps! Actually I prefer a Snickers candy bar. Does Snickers candy come in different shapes? NOT!

Sigh.

One thing I couldn’t help but notice: the music. The first clip has some of the most generic rock guitar ever. Kinda sounds like something in the background of an 80′s teen-oriented flick (not a John Hughes one, though–he always picked quality music). I’m thinking Valley Girl or Just One of the Guys.

The second is also generic, but slow and mushy, like the peeps themselves, by the end of the clip.

Both pieces of music remind me of the canned music which came with Flash back when I did Flash development.

Those are my thoughts, priced at exactly 2 cents apiece.

Oh yeah: I hate Peeps.

  Astute observation, James. Both music selections came with the flip video software on my computer.

The jar was my favorite. I just had to watch it a few times in a row. “Why can’t we just get along?” ROTFLOL
Your laughter is infectious.
I’ve never eaten a Peep, but I look forward to your Peep-videos every year….
That didn’t sound right, but you know what I mean!

Sometimes, you disturb me.

Greatly.

Do you microwave everyone that you don’t like the taste of?

In other news… Cadbury Creme Eggs made in England are not wonderful but no-where near as disgusting as the ones made here

  I only disturb you sometimes? I’ll have to work on that.

I am not a peep lover. I had an old pastor who loved them. I would bring them to him…but just not my thing. They really don’t do well in the microwave. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll ever get that image out of my head.

Uh-oh. Fun with food. Freaky food full of puff and never-knew-nature coloring, but food nonetheless. Glad I wasn’t on clean up detail!

I’ve fired them out of my t-shirt cannon, but I will say they leave behind a really nasty mess, took forever to clean up.
