Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - OT: Gas prices ruined EASTER!

So... my folks sent me an Easter care package. I open it up and I see some marshmallow peeps. We all love peeps. But this year... I noticed that marshmallow peeps only come in 2 rows instead of 3!!!!!!!

This is total BS and Im mad that the same price gets me one less row of sugary goodness.

Thanks ALOT oil companies!

JERKS!

+1 to biking.

Gas prices saved me on easter it was a great excuse for me to not go to NY get stuck in traffic on the way home, and deal with my girlfriends crazy family Thank you very much oil companies! But if i may make a request can you please lower the prices untill the next time a familit event comes up ?

If you really think about, peeps have ruined Easter far more than gas prices.

somehow I still got stuck flying across country for a ****ing weekend.

I work with a guy whos last place of employment was the Peep factory. He said it was EXACTLY like Willy Wonka.

No, he is not an Oompa Loompa.

The more expensive gas gets, the more money I save from cycling everywhere. I used to save $100 a month, now I save $150. With my increased savings, I'll be able to afford some new rims soon. With any luck, it will get so expensive that I can retire early.

Thats an assumption that has little basis. It's much more likely that they are just trying to squeeze more
profit out of each sale. They really cant grow their distribution much more than it is already, so they have to
reduce the size of the product. It's been done for years.

Anyway- peeps will make you fat and rot your teeth.

who cares about easter anyway?
a celebration of the world's most notorious zombie.

i'll be sacrificing a baby this week though.

i didnt know anyone actually ate peeps, let alone looked forward to them...

i dunno about the rest of yous, but i love me a good peep show.

I was under the assumption that Jesus ruined Easter. He keeps taking the attention away from the bunnies and the chickens and the eggs and the candies.

Holy crap... did the ss/fg forums get hit with lightning?

Im pretty sure I was being sarcastic regarding that the high oil prices ruined peeps. Obv they want to make more money.

Secondly... people that don't get peeps for Easter or NEVER got peeps when they were a kid are lying. You know you're all sad now that there are only 2 rows.

Also... peeps don't make you fat. Being lazy makes you fat.

+1 to that peep show. Thats hot.

i dunno OP, seeing as how peeps are probably 85% petroleum based, peeps inc really could be cash strapped this year

+10 for the peep show, awesome

Crapola... ur right.

Lets just change it to say that the peep factory ruined Easter. Of course... we'll just assume when I say Easter I'm referring to the hallmark/candy/superficial aspect of the holiday.

I WANT MY 3rd ROW BACK!

DAMN YOU PEEEEEPS! DAMN YOU ALL TO HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dunno about the rest of yous, but i love me a good peep show.


+10 fer dat.

I had a friend whose sister used to toss the peeps in the microwave and inflate them to be like 10 times their size and then fling the door open and try to eat them before they shrunk down again.

^ i lolled. and hearts for peeps.

oh god, my stomach hurts already just thinking about peeps.

uygh.

+1 on the peepshow - so hot.

Peeps are gross - I ate one in the 90's and vowed to never do it again. They're worse than Sno Balls.

Is the furniture made out of Starbursts? The juice is loose.

You guys are all wrong. When the zombies come and the world ends one snack food will stand above all others.

Recipee for stale peeps (way better then regular peeps)
1) Buy peeps
2) Cut hole in package
3) Wait until NEXT easter
4) Consume

+1 to that. I never eat fresh peeps. Although... I think the longest I've waited was until June.

This is part of their appeal. I like peeps, but I don't really like them enough to HAVE to have them immediately.

Thats sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet hahaaha... get it?

Did u just put those on today in celebration or is it like a permanent thing?

details.

On a more related and serious note, the sugar refinery that supplied the sugar, in Port Wentworth, GA (Near Savannah) did explode and burn about 6 weeks ago. No kidding. The local news did mention Peeps and how it would affect them, not to mention the burnt sugar smell that persisted for weeks.

Sounds like a conspiracy between peeps and the chocolate companies.

http://www.nbc24.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=107588 sounds like gas prices got a thumbs up for some people.

seems that that should be "against the rules" in the catholic church? (of course... I don't think they said what religion....

but the vatican did add that new sin this year... something about being nice to mother earth? and here they go supporting the petroleum craze.

hypocrits.

i like your logic. very wrong, but oh so right.

i thought peeps were always stale. you mean that's what they taste like fresh?
