Throw them in the microwave and watch them poof.

Or come up with other creative forms of peepicide

11. Peeps are evil.
Lovely to look at? (Awwwwwww.......); delightful to hold (squish,squish,squish...)?
Melted or frozen or fileted or stewed;
Pick them from baskets; don't keep them one day
They gum up the works and steal children away.
Peeps serve the anti-Christ, manna sprouts, spewed.

The lusty little lavender ones with the big tweeters are especially dangerous.

13. both
The new fresh peeps are an incredible treat, like putting on a nice shirt or sweater that's just come out of the dryer on a cold day. However, they don't last, and there's no point in squandering them. You don't put on every single piece of clothing as it comes out of the dryer, do you? That would ruin the enjoyment of that first shirt. So you let some peeps linger. You may even go a day or two without a peep. Oh, yeah, you open one pack and feel like maybe you have to eat them before they go stale, but really you'll eat them anyway. Stale peeps are best when there are no peeps left at the store. You then know you were wise not to eat all of the peeps when they were mushy and new.

15. My peeps are fast becoming heirlooms
Our little pip of chics were old when they were given to us over twenty years ago. Around this time of the year, we drag them out for a little dusting and a look see, then we quietly put them away.

I wonder NOS peeps in original packaging would command on E-Bay?

17. Has anybody ever tried this?
Peeps expand if they're heated in the microwave.

Has anbody ever taken a sealed container of Peeps and heated them until the whole damn thing blew up like a marshmallow hand grenade?

I'd love to see it happen, but I'd really rather do it in YOUR microwave...
