This coming Sunday Christians around the world will gather for corporate worship to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. However, I want to recognize a more ridiculous Easter tradition. Here’s to the peep. Some love ‘em and some hate ‘em. I personally align myself with the latter. Here are your peeps fast facts.
It takes 6 minutes to make one Peeps Chick
Original Peeps have a shelf life of 2 years
More than 5 Million Peeps are produced EACH DAY
Peeps have been the most popular Non-Chocolate Easter candy in the United States for more than a decade
Yellow is America’s best selling color
Peeps have ZERO fat grams and are Gluten and Nut Free
Peeps lost their wings in 1999
A Peep-eating contest has taken place annually in Sacramento, Calif., since 1997. It occurs after Easter so participants can clear store shelves of unsold stock. The current record for the number of Peeps consumed in 30 minutes is 88 by Dennis Gross of Sacramento.
Happy Easter
