    What on earth are peeps? I’d wager if they’re American sweets they taste like shite, like practically all US sweets.

      They’re marshmallows, that are then coated in sugar.

      Taste vaguely like sweetness, with a hint of industrial chemicals in the background.

        I didn’t think anybody actually eats more than one or two from the pack. Then they just sit on the counter for 2 weeks and get thrown away

          I will happily eat the whole package in one sitting, making myself sick and full of regret. That’s why I don’t buy peeps. Peeps are regret.

            I didn’t think I could do that, I’d get sick on like the third one. No offense.

          Peeps donnot get thrown away for being stale… I know people that open the package then leave it in a cabinet for weeks, because they like them “crunchy” 🫤

      Is the only American candy you’ve tasted sold at a gas station?
