Let’s face it. Eating Peeps after Easter is over just isn’t the same. You open up a box or two, chew a couple heads off, then the rest just sit in the box on your counter until they’re so stale you could cut glass with them. Then, when you finally muster up the courage to throw them out, you strangely feel guilty about it. “But they’re so cute,” you exclaim. You dig them out of the garbage a few times, maybe even take another couple bites, until you are finally able to part ways with these adorable little marshmallow treats.
Well now you have a way to soften the blow, because I’ve compiled a list of ten things that will lengthen the amount of time you and your precious Peep have together!
- Why Not Play A Drinking Game? We all know many a drinking game can be created out of thin air with a little booze and determination. The popular one with the kids these days, Peepface, is no exception. Each player first wagers a certain number of seconds to drink or number of drinks. They then stand 15 feet apart and try to hit their opponent in the face with a Peep. Whoever receives a clean hit must drink the amount that they wagered.
