The Elusive Peep

Since it was Easter only a week ago, I thought I might share with you the tale of the elusive peep. Every Easter thousands, no, millions of peeps are produced to sate the sugar lust of Americans. Peeps are the little marshmallow chicks covered in sugar found in the bright pastel box named "Peeps". With the industry's success, the business has expanded upon its traditional yellow and pink marshallow chicks.

During Halloween, Peep ghosts, cats, and Jack-o-laterns will give you the ability to scare your parents with the sugar rushes they give you. During Valentine's, one may give their loved one a sugar delight with Peep hearts and teddy bears. If you can't seem to muster the energy to by joyful during Christmas (or Hanukkah), a Peep snowman will cheer you right up.

Now, two years ago, I was going to a Goo Goo Dolls concert with Jessica. Before we went into the building, she decided to share with me these Peeps she had just purchased. They were a special kind of Peep, a chocolate Peep. I bit off the head of the chocolate marshmallow bunny and BAM! My mouth was treated to a sugary orgasmic gustatory delight. It was the perfect blending of a s'more: chocolate and marshmallow coexisting as one. It was like I was eating Hershey's cocoa powder straight out of the hot chocolate package, but with the soft caress of the marshmallow aftertaste to leave me with an afterglow.

These Peeps were amazing and thankfully, Jessica gave me more than one. I asked Jessica where she had purchased them and she said it was some drugstore near Kaiser Permanente. After the concert, I drove to every drugstore within a 15 mile radius of Rancho Palos Verdes and couldn't find these delectable Peeps. Upon closer inspection of the empty box, I realized the box said "Limited Edition". I searched the internet for these Peeps and found a place which would ship me a box of these Peeps for ten dollars. Regrettably, my own schiestiness got in the way and I refused to pay these exorbitant fees.

I've seen the Peeps website and see they have adapted a new "chocolate mousse" flavored Peep and I can only hope it is the same recipe as my chocolate Peep. So, ever since that fateful day, every Easter season, I search the local drugstores for the elusive chocolate Peep which will stop my cravings.

On another note, I was playing Tetris today and I got a high score. When posting my name on my high score board, it also asks for a quote. Apparently, the last time I seriously played Tetris was sophomore year because my quotes were "Tetris is better than EHAP" or "I'm so lonely. I have nobody". Awwwww, little emo Sophomore me was so cool. That would also explain why I would stay up all night before a EHAP test.
