Peep Love Runs Deep

'Tis the season for marshmallow Peeps. Manufacturer of the sugary chicks and bunnies, Just Born, whips up nearly 700 million Peeps annually. The company claims that the Easter treats, which were created in the 1950s, are the most popular nonchocolate candy in America today. Given the hundreds of articles, posts and Peep contests of late, it's obvious that "Peep love runs deep."

My 2009 guide to Peeps:
  • Winner of the Washington Post's Peep diorama contest talks about her Edward Hopper inspired design.
  • Peeps Fun Facts: Did you know that Just Born produces enough Peeps in one year to circle the Earth twice? (Do you care?)
  • Peeps on Parade: Check out the Peep-populated scene from Hitchcock's film The Birds.
  • Is the White House hopped up on Peeps?
