At my neighborhood Albertsons: Halloween-themed pumpkin Peeps. We're more than two and a half months away from trick-or-treat time. Is this last year's Peeps hauled out of a warehouse? Seems unlikely. But neither does it make much sense that these are this year's model. I know marketing pushes holiday shopping earlier and earlier. But this is crazy... |

Isn't it true that some folks like to eat their Peeps *stale*? I've read a lot about this strange confection fetish. Perhaps with this Halloween early release, they're allowing for them to ripen in time for the holiday? :)

We noticed boxes of halloween candy at CVS and Walgreens around the 23rd of July. Three weeks earlier and we could have used it during 4th of July celebrations.

I saw them clearing out lawn furniture for heaters and fire pits at Home Depot. Because pretty soon, it will be too cold to go outside.

I LOVE stale marshmallow peeps!!! Don't knock 'em if you've never had 'em.

Peeps, package opened and left under the bed for at least a month, take on a remarkable appeal akin to the Lucky Charms Marshmallows. It's the only way to enjoy peeps.
