Can one freeze Peeps???

[loknload]

Why would you want to freeze them? They make them all year long in one form or another don't they?

I actually like stale Peeps. Poke a few holes in the package with a toothpick to let air in and let them sit for a few weeks.

My wife loves them, after they are stale too. I never liked them
even as a kid. I'm a spiced jelly bean man.

On the subject of candies, I notice Big Lots is now selling many of the "old" candy brands from the 1950s - Necco Wafers, Raisinettes, Clark Bars, Bit-O-Honey, candy cigarettes, those little parrafin Coke bottles with colored sugar water inside, Circus Peanuts, and much more stuff like you used to buy in grade school. We laid in a pretty good supply this week. Necco Wafers also make good targets.

I get my banana moon pies at Cracker Barrel whenever Mom needs to get her catfish and cheesy hashbrown fix. They also have oodles of old style candies.

It's hard to beat an oatmeal creme pie.

All this talk about freezing peeps and whether they will freeze or not because of the air contained inside has me thinking of trying a little experiment. I have a high temp high pressure cell at the house for testing drilling mud and I wonder if I put a peep inside and trap 1000 psi in the cell to squeeze out all the air from the peep, then stick it in the freezer to see if it will freeze will show the following:

1. Will a peep freeze?
2. Will it stay compressed to a small size when removed from the cell and let thaw out?

I've seen a Styrofoam cup that was put on a ROV and run several hundred feet down in the ocean and when it came back up it was still in basically it's original form but small from being compressed and all the air spaces being squeezed out of the cup.

I thought "peeps" were your friends on Facebook, and you guys are talking about freezing, shooting, compressing, sucking the air out of, and eating them? I understand people don't like Facebook, but that's not a nice way to treat a friend.

I had a mental image of Don Knotts as Barney Fife pulling his gun and telling a batch of yellow peeps "Freeze". I hope he had his bullet.

My peeps all freeze when the popo says so.

That's what they should do with all peeps.....ROV ..bottom of the ocean..

The best and highest use for Peeps is the traditional post Easter dinner Peep-fight.
Around here, freezing them isn't considered fighting fair.

Yes, peeps will freeze:

OMG!
Yawl need a hobby.
Throw them out and buy Necco Wafers for targets. They take up less room and go "poof" when hit. Gone in the next rain storm too.
