Forget TWEETS-It's All About the PEEPS

Everyone is busy Tweeting on Twitter

Chicago Tribune

but if you really have time on your hands you can still enter the National Geographic Peeps in Places Challenge starring the headliner of every Easter basket-Marshmallow Peeps.

Peeps may send you into a sugar coma but somehow it just isn't Easter, or spring for that matter, without their little faces appearing on the shelves of drugstores and markets. Peeps are the ultimate in nostalgia candy and these days I think everyone is looking for reminders of comfy and fun.


Give PEEPS a Chance

Peeps also makes bunnies and tulips in a wide range of colors, including chocolate,but it is the little yellow chick that appeared over 55 years ago that remains the most famous in the nest and leads his(her?) flock on great adventures each Easter season.

Peeps contests that stretch the talents of the Marshmallow Chicks and their gooey friends are everywhere this time of year. In addition to the National Geographic Photo Challenge, many major newspapers including The Chicago Tribune and The Washington Post hold Peeps Diorama Contests. This year over 1100 sugar coated entries were submitted to The Post displaying scenes played out by chicks and bunnies. Many entries reflect what all PEEPS are Twittering about and many are just Sugar Coated fun! Come Visit Applause! for favorite entries and Winning PEEPS!

Let Them Eat Jelly Beans!
