For some reason, marshmallow peeps have become an integral part of my easter packages from home. I didn’t get any chocolate, no, but 2 15-packs of marshmallow birds.

Luckily I am able to share my wealth with others. But what if I was stuck with all these peeps? After eating about 2 I would surely have a cavity and the others would be left to become sugar rocks. A bit of research proves that many people have had this problem and have found many solutions to the peep overpopulation problem.

An experiment I definitely want to try – mutant peeps. I want to see my peep become a large bulbous structure, possibly exploding in my microwave. I’ve also heard if you put 2 peeps in a microwave facing each other, they have a “peep war.” Further research is needed on this topic.

For the less adventurous, you might try fashioning your own peeps sombrero. You’ll be sure to be gracing the spring Fashion Shows in Paris. Just make sure to do some neck exercises – I bet this sucker gets mighty heavy!

The coffee-crazed might want to try a delicious peepucino – who needs frothy stuff when you can just plop a peep in your coffee? No additional sweeteners needed! Score! The high from the caffeine and sugar also proves to be invaluable when completing school projects or studying for finals.

And you thought you’d just throw your peeps away. Shame on you. Happy Easter!
