This One's for my Peeps!

There are very few foods on this planet that I don’t like. However, what I’m about to mention doesn’t quite qualify as food; at least not as I understand the definition. I’m speaking of the special edition Halloween Pumpkin Peeps.

Peeps, for those of you that are unaware, are essentially puffs of rubbery sugar that vaguely resemble holiday themed objects and characters. You’re most likely more familiar with their Easter version which are in the shape or either a baby chick or a bunny. Regardless of their color, shape, or religious affiliation; peeps are the worst.

Many people seem to think they enjoy these abominations of nature, but they're wrong. Even if you think you like Peeps, you don't. This edition is even worse than most, because they are sugar-free. All they are is sugar! What’s the point? The Peeps ingredient list contains two things: Sugar and partially hydrogenated nightmares.

Not only do Peeps have the texture and taste of a sweetened Tempurpedic mattress, but they also come with a handy warning.

I don’t know about you, but I like my seasonal candy treats to come with a surgeon general’s warning. Peeps stink. I'd rather take a bite out of a decorative autumn squash.

What are your thoughts on Peeps?
