Take A "Peep" Into The Past




Who remembers loving marshmallows as a child?  Okay! I'll admit I still LOVE those marshmallow peeps.  So in honor of the "Peep" (and Easter), here are a few facts about Peeps:
  • Marshmallow Peeps are 59 years old this year (2013).
  • In 1953, it took 27 hours to create one peep.  Today, it takes six minutes.
  • This Easter, more than 700 million peeps chicks, bunnies, and eggs with be consumed b y men, women, and children throughout the United States and abroad.
  • Strange things people like to do with peeps: eat them stale, microwave them, freeze them, roast them, and use them as pizza topping.
  • Peeps come in five colors: yellow, pink, lavender, blue, and white.
  • Each peep has 32 calories (160 calories per five-chick serving) and 0 grams of fat.
  • The first Peeps were squeezed one at a time out of a pastry tube and the eyes were painted on by hand.  Now, machines create 3,500 Peeps' eyes per minute.
  • Yellow Peeps are the most popular, followed by pink, lavender, blue, and then white.
  • During Easter, Peeps outsell jelly beans.
  • Just Born's Bethlehem, PA factory makes more than 1 billion Peeps a year - that's 4 million Peeps a day.
Visit the peeps official website for delicious recipes for those leftover peeps.
 
And I hope everyone has a great Easter full of Peeps!

WOW I didn't know all of that about Peeps! I can't recall the last time that I ate one...

Christy G said...

Thanks for the interesting history on Peeps. I remember putting the peep ducks in the microwave for a few seconds and they would puff up.

I'll be the first to admit I tried but just couldn't stomach those marshmallows. However, those facts really give perspective on how far manufacturing has come. Amazing.

I LOVE peeps! But...not as much as my husband...which is scary! lol

Aimee | Irresistible Icing said...

I love reading facts like that! I can't believe it used to take more than a day to create ONE Peep! Happy Easter!

Robin said...

Recipes for leftover Peeps? Who ever has leftover Peeps? Not at my house. My 22-year old daughter wouldn't think Easter were complete without her Peeps. She'll take care of any extras she finds.

I love that one of your facts was how many Peeps are made in Bethlehem (even if it's PA). Sounds to me like that means Peeps are the official Easter candy.

Happy Sharefest. I hope you have a lovely weekend.

I remember those Laura but I'm not a big fan of marshmallows. I only prefer them cooked over an open fire or in my hot chocolate. Funny but those are the only ways I'll really eat them.

Thanks for the lesson, I can't believe they're that old.
