Forty-eight percent of Americans say they love Peeps.  Twenty-five percent say they hate them.  But both groups keep buying them every Easter and that is the strange part. Two billion Peeps are produced every year from a single factory in Bethehem, Pennsylvania.  The entire process takes six minutes. 

Before 1953, every marshmallow chick was hand-piped from fabric pastry bags and took 27 hours to dry.  Then one engineer built a machine that compressed the process, but the original chicks had to lose their wings permanently to make it work.

What's your favorite color of Peep?

Happy Easter Weekend
