"just born" news and stories

As the season for Peeps is upon us once more, people begin to look to Peeps for more than just a sweet snack. The fluffy marshmallow critters, chicks and bunnies alike, can provide hours of entertainment when properly utilized. Strangely, it is not only children who play with their food in this instance, but adults. Since they inspire far more fascination than your average marshmallow, one can only attribute their entertainment value to the fact that the chicks and bunnies look so much more realistic - "realistic" in the sense that they do have an actual form, unlike a more traditional marshmallow. Alternatively, it could be the bright colors that people find so appealing.

PeepResearch.org is a wealth of information, detailing the outcome of nearly every likely situation a Peep  is likely to be in, including extreme heat and extreme cold, as well as chronicling the effects of smoking and alcohol on Peeps who have given in to temptation.

Bunny Survival Tests is slightly more disturbing than PeepResearch.org because there seems to be a degree of enjoyment from the creators of the site in seeing what happens to the sweet little Peep Bunnies when exposed to a variety of hazardous situations.

Other, less scientific examples of Peep amusements include how to joust Peeps and Peep-henge, in addition to the very cool PeepsShow.
