Perhaps, though, the greatest moment of any Peep’s life is when it answers the siren song of pure science and glory, boldly going where no Peep has gone before. Their NASA experiment was a success, but unfortunately those brave Peeps who so bravely went where no Peep had gone before disappeared. An official inquiry followed.
Fingers were pointed at a carnivorous NASA engineer but no proof remained. Fortunately, more brave Peeps volunteered their services to NASA. This time they survived their space flight and returned safely home and, like Gus Grissom so many years earlier, their trip into space was ignored by the press and adoring space fans. One can only hope those brave astropeeps were treated honorably.
Unfortunately, just like every other minority, Peeps have been subjected to more than their share of bias and discrimination. There are entire paranoid sectors of society who spent their lives persecuting innocent Peeps, ignorantly considering the creatures a sign of the impending cataclysm or apocalypse. Others see them as the very harbingers or messengers of the demonic forces that manipulate mankind for their own evil gain.
What is the truth? Are Peeps a force for good in the world or are they a force for evil?
All I know is it would take over 172 million bunny Peeps placed end to end to circle the moon and it will take 70 million chick Peeps placed head to end to go from New York City to Los Angeles. Twenty percent of Peep gourmets, this author included, prefer their Peeps to be stale. Peeps are made for other holidays, but consuming them outside of Easter would be an obscenity.
