According to recent research around 1.5 Billion Peeps were consumed around the Easter season. But, I have to be honest, most people I talk to don’t eat them. I guess the Peep is one of those either you love ’em or leave ’em type candy. And where did they come from? Here’s what I found on Wikipedia: Peeps are a marshmallow confection produced by candy maker Just Born since 1953 for sale the United States and Canada in the shape of chicks, bunnies, and other animals, as well as holiday shapes, with themes revolving around Halloween, Christmas, and Easter, produced by Pennsylvania-headquartered Just Born Inc. Peeps were the earlier creation of the R. E. Rodda Candy Company of Lancaster, PA, and were offered for sale as early as 1948. There you go, now you know everything you need to know about the Peep. As always, thanks for listening!
