Hot chicks: At 60, Peeps more popular than ever

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) -- It's Easter morning. A boy rouses his younger brother, and they run to the living room to find their baskets filled with -- what else? -- Peeps.

"Peeps are THE candy of Easter," the excited boy tells his wide-eyed sibling, who pops a yellow marshmallow chick in his mouth.

"You can eat 'em, smash 'em, microwave 'em, deep fry 'em, roast 'em on a stick," the boy explains. That's not all. You can make "historically accurate Peeps dioramas ... Peeps pop art ... You can make a Peeps topiary." On he goes, all day and night. "Peeps jousting ... hide-and-go Peeps ... Peepshi ... that's sushi made out of Peeps."

I just don't care for the aftertaste.

The amazing thing is that EVERY single Peep that has ever been sold was manufactured 60 years ago...

6:44. It's kind of like the Christmas (can i still say Christmas?) Fruitcake. It's the gift that keeps being re- given and can probably be forever.
