It is too late for everyone .... the Peeps have now taken REVENGE!
they are now in stores disguised as ghosts, pumpkins, and bats. They are dominating the clueless consumers with their cuteness, high sugar, and low prices.
I swear I could hear their evil cackling inside the plastic wrapped boxes where they reside....
what will they do next?
will they prepare themselves for Christmas?
will they become Borgs?
will they take over the internet? (too late!)
will they become President and how are we going to notice the difference?
oh horror!
how are we going to stop them???

I'm working on a peep pesticide. Using recycled peep poop and hot sauce mixed with horseradish. It may not stop them but it does slow them down.
Back to inventing a cure...

OMG -
I love them - my family thinks I am nuts. In fact there is still a package safe and sound in the freezer from Easter - they all want to know when I am throwing them away.
Nope - going to get them out and good and stale and then they are the best - have loved them since I can remember -
Wow -
Now all year -

I'm in a rotten mood, and probably shouldn't mention this, but I like to just suck the sugar off the things.
Then I trash the mutilated, marshmallow part.

Julesy, sorry about your rotten mood. Peeps can be enjoyed in many ways. I think in your case a spoonful of sugar might be the cheaper method of getting a sugar high.

Hi Robyn -- Just a case of the ebay dysfunctionality blues...it'll pass.

Why Julesy! I do believe you have hit upon something that lots of us would gladly sink our teeth into! Ebay logo peeps! Can't be too terribly hard to make marshmallow thingies coated in sugar. It's crazy but it just might work!

No peeps yet! I found (ewww) eyeball peepers today, but they're chocolate over caramel and shaped like eyeballs, not marshmellow and sugar. I'm going to check Eckard in the am. I'll let you know if we are truly sans peep in SW Fl. How can I see Rolls Royces, but NO peeps!

Snowyegret - I'm due for a trip to the grocery store (I'd be embarrassed to admit what's NOT in my fridge at the moment). I'm going to pick up some Peeps. I'll grab a couple of extra packages just in case your Peep hunt remains fruitless.

toomanycomics,
Yes, Yes, Yes, BOMB THE EVIL PEEPS.
The evil peep poopers have a peep plot to take over!!! Bomb the evil peeps with anything and everything you have, tootsie rolls and gumdrops are a good start, but don't let it stop there. Use M&M's, chocolate covered ants, Jell-O, refried beans, cotton candy, potato salad, bacon, pasta, pepperoni, watermelons, meatloaf with gravy, canned hams, frozen turkeys, spitballs, the kitchen sink, yogurt, dirty socks, cherry pies, the nasty kid next door, cheap wine, anything. Just stop the evil peep plot before we are knee deep in peep poop.
Gotta throw in one of these for good luck...

True story!!
I just got back from the store and had to tell ya'll what happened.
I was walking down the Halloween isle, and there on the shelf, all by itself was a lone pack of pumpkin peeps.
Not being a peep person myself, I wasn't going to buy the last pack o' peeps, but wanted to see what they looked like since they've gotten so much attention around here.
Just as I reached over to grab the packet a woman whipped her arm around me and snatched the last pack o' peeps!
I looked at her and she looked totally stunned by what she had done. Her face turned red and she stammered: "Oh God, I am so sorry. I don't know why I did that!! It was just a reaction!" (course, she still had the pack o' peeps clutched to her chest).
I just laughed and said, "I understand. I am not a peep person (her eyes widened), but I've done the same thing with the last can of Cherry Coke"
We both laughed and parted ways. However, it concerns me that peeps can cause a grown woman to act in such a fashion! Makes me wonder what I've been missing! Hey, what's one more vice?

Lotsafuzz That's the funniest peep story I've ever heard. So glad you survived it!
I'm only a 1/2 peeper. I love the carcas - but that sugary stuff has to be washed off first.

Well I now have a box of white peep ghosts in a box on top of the fridge. I've poked airholes so they can breathe and I will leave them up there to properly age.
I can't wait!! hehe

I am firmly in the stale peep camp. They just don't taste right when they are all mushy.
A few years ago, I bought my official supply of peeps for the season (never fails that I end up going back for more at least twice more). I was going to make slits in the cellophane so they could age properly, but got distracted by something. I handed my daughter the knife and told her to make a few pokes...came back a few minutes later to find out she had taken the wrapper off and stabbed each and every peep in the head repeatedly. It was brutal. Gotta admit though, that they did get stale faster that way.

Argh: That reminds me of something that happened years ago.
My mom hardboiled 4 dozen eggs to color for Easter. My little brother was helping her and she asked him to put them in the 'fridge.
Well, our 'fridge has a freezer section on top. My brother, thinking that one part of the fridge was as good as any other, put all 4 dozen eggs in the freezer.
No one noticed until that night when we went to color the eggs. Yep, all were frozen solid. My dad had to run back into town to get some new ones and my mom was boiling eggs until the wee hours of the morning!
Ever since, we've been really clear about what goes where.

I thought the stale peep stories were just having fun. Do you mean people really prefer peeps stale? That just doesn't seem natural. 
I haven't seen the Halloween peeps in Texas yet - I'll have to look for some while I'm out and about tomorrow.
