Blogging Boner has a kid. Yesterday, she got way too much Easter candy.

Mind you, she just turned one.

So, as responsible parents, Blogging Boner and his fiancé (EEK!) took it upon themselves to help the little munchkin out.

Free candy is one of those small and seemingly insignificant parenthood perks. Kind of like free balloons at Publix or a person actually holding the door open for you.

Anywho, everything was going down good — M&M’s, Reese’s Pieces, jelly beans — you know, the usual. That is until we came across the marshmallow PEEPs.

Either you despise them with a passion or you don’t mind them.

Blogging Boner hasn’t met a normal, grown person yet who falls into the latter category. It’s like fruitcake at Christmas — it’s always around, but no one eats it. No one ever admits to buying it, and it’s always the last thing to be thrown out.

Making and selling PEEPS has got to be a pretty good racket, though. Think about it: They’ve been around forever. Everyone knows what they are. And, you can only get people to buy them — for the most part — one month out of the year.

It’s just a guess, but to stick around for so long, the PEEPS-making people need to be raking it in for that one month.

Curious, Blogging Boner did a quick Google search when he got home. To his surprise, there is a tremendous online PEEPS community. It’s cult-like, really.

Check out what some people do with their PEEPS right here.

For Blogging Boner, he knows what to do with his PEEPS. He figured it out around the age of 13 or so.
