There’s one candy associated with Easter more than any other.  The little yellow chick or pink bunny confection made of sugar and awesomeness, the Marshmallow Peep.  Some people love them and think they’re the greatest candy on earth.  (I am one of these people.)  Some people can’t stand them.  (These people are evil and cannot be trusted.)  Love them or hate them, Peeps are far more than candy.  They’re used in everything from design contests like the annual Seattle Times Peeps contest, the Chicago Tribune’s Peeps On Parade, the inventive Peep dioramas found at Mental Floss, or for acting out horrible death scenes as pointed out by Newscoma.  Even the American Bar Association Journal is getting in on the fun with Peeps In Law!

Every Peep person has their own way of eating Peeps.  I’m partial to stale Peeps.  Others freeze them.  Some people freeze stale Peeps.  Some people microwave them.  Some bite the heads off first, while others start at the feet.  No matter how you take your confection, there really is no wrong way to eat a Peep.  (Sorry, Reece’s.)

After you’ve had your fill of candy, why not decorate some Easter Eggs?

It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

Since 2014, Craig Sager has been caught in the fight of his life.  He’s been battling leukemia since 2014, and he’s had multiple stem-cell treatments and rounds of radiation, and he continues to struggle against the disease for all he’s worth.  He’s been a very public face for most of his life, and now he’s engaged […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
