I worked really hard on this blog entry.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 10/24/2005 8:56 PM

Fantabulous is the only word that can contain this news.

Peeps are my favorite things in the world.

This and the great cocoa bat are the only Halloween peeps I haven’t seen in stores, and now I want to…really bad.

Are those things bigger than the normal Peeps pumpkins? I can’t imagine it would be very easy to decorate the little guys. Then again, I’m the least artistic fellow in the world.

Yes, they are bigger — about twice as big. And bulky!

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 10/24/2005 9:06 PM

Huzzah! Hail to the peepsmakers, and hail to Matt for letting us in on the good word.

I did actually see these back in the beginning of the season, though I forget where. I’ve also seen the ghost and Pumpkin Peeps, and I actually found Peeps Bean Bag toys at Super Fresh (there are also pillow-like Peeps in lycra). The only Peeps I haven’t seen yet are the darn Cocoa Cats…my favorite Halloween Peeps, of course. My favorite Peeps overall are those wonderful Gingerbread Peeps at Christmas that are, of course, also hard to find.

Matt- This peep article is comedic genius. Starting off with the word fucking and ending with what ever it ended with, pure genius.
I never liked peeps. The sugar coating was great but the rest, ick. Peace out my peeps. Rodian Rodeo

They should make spooky Peeps that glow under black light

I got some Cocoa Bats around the time of Matt’s article featuring them and haven’t seen them since. In fact, the store I bought them from never had any more again, leading me to believe that they were discontinued before I bought them and I had bought year-old Cocoa Bats. Meh. You can’t tell the difference with Peeps anyway.

REGARDLESS, they were delicious like no other Peep I’ve had, and now they’re gone. I have tried to find them elsewhere to no avail. For shame, JustBorn. For shame.

The Cocoa Bats were definitely above the norm for Peepsville.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 10/24/2005 9:48 PM

I remember my mom always keeping the extra Cake Mate from anything to put in first aid kits for diabetic emergencies. I was always a deprived child when it came to Cake Mate… But it is a really good idea just in case (put it behind their lower lip is what my instructor always said)

Chestnuts roasted by Phil @ 10/24/2005 9:53 PM

I don’t know if the world is ready for a cyclops peep.

Chestnuts roasted by Jeff Mack @ 10/24/2005 9:54 PM

Matt, I think you did such a great job painting those Peeps pumpkins!!!
I think you should have an art contest and have everybody send in pictures of their decorated Peeps pumpkins. Except that would not be fair to the people to can’t find them. Ok, nevermind. Anyways, you’re awesome!! I haven’t celebrated Halloween since I was a wee child (it being the devil’s holiday and all), but you have made this Halloween the most exciting one ever. I’ve been in the Halloween spirit since the countdown started, and bought Twix with glow in the dark wrappers, and Holiday Jones Soda, and all that. Thanks, Matt.

And please forgive me that I am listening to Christmas music right now!!

Chestnuts roasted by LuLu @ 10/24/2005 9:59 PM

Awesome, now if I could only get home before 10 I could make it to Key Food and buy some

Chestnuts roasted by B-log @ 10/24/2005 10:14 PM

After over two years, I still haven’t found the Cocoa Bats.

Chestnuts roasted by Ralph @ 10/24/2005 10:19 PM

Peeps. I’ve always distrusted them. My across-the-hall girlfriends in undergrad would get huge care packages full of Peeps around Easter (or whenever their thrifty mothers could find them at the Dollar Store; they’d eat that shit stale, no problem.)

What followed was often a full-on week of Sugar Frenzy. Peeps and Donald Duck grapefruit juice for breakfast. A quick Peep-me-up before lunch. Pop a few Peeps before clubbing on Friday night. Before anyone knew it, they were skipping class to lick sugar and sticky yellow marshmallows off their fingers.

They became raging Peep-a-holics.

I guess it’s like any drug. I tried them once and knew Peeps weren’t my thing (unlike a few other things not found readily in the Dollar Store, but rather in the alleyway behind it…which were more to my taste)*. These girls, though, just plowed through those boxes like they were dime bags.

Tch. So sad.

*Lest I lead our more tender readers astray, I must confess I’ve never actually been in a Dollar Store alleyway. Doesn’t the graduate lounge of a university English Department count, though?

Chestnuts roasted by Lisa Marie @ 10/24/2005 10:32 PM

Not fantabulous, but scrumptrulescent!

Chestnuts roasted by jackie @ 10/24/2005 11:04 PM

This may sound sacrilegious at this site, but I’m not big on eating peeps. I like the way they look and feel in the package, and the way they grow really big in the microwave until finally they become too big and implode into sugary marshmellowness. Thats when they’re tastiest. Or when they get stale. Old or melted. Mmm hmm.

Chestnuts roasted by Mattman @ 10/24/2005 11:14 PM

Hm. Adding to Mattman’s melty Peeps fetish, has anyone ever roasted Peeps, à la s’mores?

Burn, bunny, burn!

Chestnuts roasted by Lisa Marie @ 10/24/2005 11:38 PM

Lisa Marie:

As an English Major, I would say that yes, the Graduate Lounge of any English Deptartment would count rather nicely.

And Matt, I have to disagree with you about Pumpkins. I keep them until at least Thanksgiving…sometimes a few days after that…

Not to long ago, Crayola has started puting out a cake decorating kit. Haven’t spotted it yet but I’ve seen coupons for it.

I Love the 80s 3D starts on VH1 tonight. I love those things.

Chestnuts roasted by JLAJRC @ 10/24/2005 11:44 PM

Does anyone else ever play "evil farmer" with Peeps, where you populate an imaginary farm with little peeps, and then you go berserk and eat them?

Chestnuts roasted by The Wukong Effect @ 10/24/2005 11:49 PM

I for one, after reading all these X-E Tales of Peepish Whimsy(tm), I thought I would love them.

One bite into one last easter (2005) and I was dead wrong. It was the most godawful, dry, sugary thing I’ve ever tasted. I was scraping off the "Peep Skin" off my lips for a few days after that.

And like I said last blog, why am I thinking about Easter when It’s not even Halloween?!

umm…ALL HAIL FRANKENBERRY!

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 10/24/2005 11:49 PM

JLAJRC — Did you pick up 3D glasses from Best Buy? Or did you already have some hanging out in your nightstand?
