Is it "wrong" for an adult to like Peeps?

Post Reply New Topic

I know some adults think they're pure garbage and will give you type 2 diabetes and rot your innards, but they're my second favorite Easter treat next to the chocolate stuff. I sometimes put them in the fridge so they get more chewy. If you put them in the microwave they'll expand to about the size of a football, but as soon as the microwave stops they deflate and shrivel up and are kind of nasty.

Why would it be wrong for an adult to like Peeps? It's just food

Never heard of them. Are they a Canadian thing?

It's a marshmallow product in the shape of a little chick, a duckling I think?
It looks to be coated in a yellow sugar, and can come in other colours too, and sometimes comes in shapes for different occasions in the year, and even ones whole or half dipped in chocolate.

I like the half dipped chocolate ones, those are the best.

They're an American thing though.

I have nothing against things that are too sweet or that will rot your insides, but I can't stand marshmallows so I think it's wrong for anybody to like them. I used to love marshmallows when I was younger but now I just can't stand the texture for some reason. I do like marshmallow cream though and will eat that with a spoon, so it's not the taste, it's the spongy texture. The Easter candy that I really hate are Cadbury eggs. I cannot stand that raw egg looking stuff inside. It's just gross to me. I like the little chocolate eggs with the crispies in them, and I like the solid chocolate bunnies. I do not like the hollow ones, I think that's a ripoff.

I don't think it's wrong for adults to like anything that's meant for children. I'm 39 and I still play with Hot Wheels.

Behold the Peeps!

They taste like chemicals to me, but I liked them when I was a kid. I wonder if there's really even any marshmallow in them at this point. Not sure what's wrong with liking them though.

I like peeps. My favorite Easter candy is cadbury eggs.

Nothing wrong with liking marshmallows. My favorite kind is the half chocolate dipped ones,

Only time I've heard of or seen Peeps is when Sergei on American Dad offers them to Stan and Steve so I assume they're only in the US.

Never tried them so can't comment.

Of course not. I love Peeps.

They rather look like they're made of chemicals….

Lots of adult women LOVE chocolate which has sugar & is known to cause diabetes so I don't get why it'll be wrong for an adult to like Peeps except because chocolate isn't in them. I personally think they're just OK.

Shame on you for telling something I must try now.
Mom: "omg what is that what are you doing?!"

Peeps are just marshmallows. Since when aren't adults allowed to eat marshmallows?
I love peeps. The little yellow chicks and I always bite the head off first

I don't think it's wrong at all. I like eating Peeps, and I especially like the soft texture that I feel once I put them in my mouth.
