DEADLINE IS NEXT MONDAY! Peeps® Holiday Contest

OMG, this is great!
This is one of the leading contestants so far
By Will Collette

I have to thank my sister for spotting and then alerting me to an event even more important than the Superbowl. The makers of marshmallow Peeps®, the world’s greatest  union-made in the U.S. of A. junk food (but only when they’re stale), are hosting their second annual “Deck the Peeps Holiday Art Contest.” I am not making this up.

Yes, you are invited to create a winter Peeps® diorama. You don’t have to wait until Easter.

Click here to get the details. WARNING: the background music will make you grit your teeth, but there is a “Stop the Music” button at the very top of the page. Do it quickly – I will not be responsible for the consequences if you don’t.

The deadline for entries is January 7. Winners will be announced on January 30. The top prizes are gift certificates to allow you to get enough Peeps® to make every tooth in your head rot out.
Here's one of this year's early entries

In other exciting Peeps® news, they have come out with brand-new Christmas Peeps®. Candy-cane flavored and dipped in chocolate.

Personally, as a diabetic, I find Peeps® to be an important glucose control measure – a couple of Peeps® are guaranteed to end a bout of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and much more fun than glucose tablets.

For the record, I was not paid or offered any Peeps® gratuities to make a fool of myself by writing this article. But I wouldn't mind getting some.
