This will not affect me at all. I’m 54 and I’ve never eaten a Peep in my life and I have no desire to change that.

I may need those.

We got some of the chocolate dipped ones. They were horrible. Bad cheap chocolate*, marshmallow was different taste and texture than I remember.

* Yeah, there’s some cheap chocolate I don’t mind. Palmer Chocolate Easter Bunnies, Symphony Bars. I know they’re objectively pretty bad chocolate, but I happen to like them :person_shrugging:

Bleh - not a Palmer’s fan.

That was the factory that just blew up on Pennsylvania the other week!

For chocolate covered marshmallow, I love fresh Russel Stovers item - their shapes changing on the season.

As for red dye, I just saw a thing about how Mexican harvesters of an insect for a natural red dye are slowly closing up shop. Maybe they will get a boost in the future?

I had no idea they made Hot Tamale Peeps. I guess it makes sense given that besides peeps Just Born makes Hot Tamales and Mike & Ikes.

Thank you! I wanted to do so, but was waitlisted. I love the sand worm peep! I’ll keep trying for my Paul Atreides/Peep mashup.
