    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?

    Deep down part of me really wishes that we did. That the last dozen plus years is some version of hell and we’re all being tortured.

      It feels like when you finish a video game then just start doing random shit with no care for goals, alignment or plot.

    Thanks to the Ninja Turtles, when I was a kid I put cucumber slices and marshmallows on my pepperoni pizza (the Turtles in the cartoon TV show were always eating pizza with weird shit on it) and as punishment for wasting food my dad was like “ok now eat it”

    Brother, let me tell you that shit was delicious. It was basically a less refined Hawaiian.

    Peeps are acceptable. Source: very-close IRL experience.

    This is about as lazy as it gets, in terms of fishing for engagement. Take someone’s controversial photo, present it to your followers, and literally (to use the word correctly) command them to argue with each other.

    I mean I know it’s Mashable we’re talking about but even they ought to have higher standards for their shit.
