A snack that would scare santa away

Quit your complain' readers, this one is worth the wait:


Okay. So this is the Peeps empire's ongoing attempt to make themselves relevant outside of the six week period during which we celebrate the resurrection of Christ with corn syrup byproduct shaped into small chickens without legs or wings.

The two completely awesome aspects of this latest effort are:

1) these are billed as sugar flavored sugar. SnackManiac likes the honesty. Don't try to be something you're not.


2) as you can tell by looking at the happy couple, there were some production errors in the application of the face and accessories on these delightful gingerbread Peep-le. I looked through about 15 packages at the Hannaford and this was not an isolated error. A little harder than the single dot eyball on the birds, eh?

The result is a thought provoking snack that raises questions about adult diapers and people with enormous foreheads whose eyeballs are located somewhere between their shoulder and armpit. Happy Birthday Baby Jesus!!!!
