Explosive Peeps Revisited


I found the secret to explosive Peeps!

Ever since an earlier blog entry, I have been puzzling over the question of how to make explosive Peeps. Finally, it came to me, and it's so simple! All we need is pressure, and that can be supplied by the plastic wrapping that encases our Peeps. So pop your unopened pack of Peeps into the microwave and let 'er rip!

After a few moments, the Peeps inside begin to swell. Then the box loses its shape and the Peeps rapidly expand and push the shrink wrap to unimaginable proportions. Finally, with a satisfying POP!, Peep guts fly and it's all over.

Effects on your microwave depend on how the plastic fails and the Peeps splatter, and may range from salvageable to potential Superfund site. Click on the image below to see a larger image of the aftermath. Warning: Not for the squeamish.

Red Peeps


Have you seen all the colors of Peeps this season yet? Are you sure? Swing by your local Target store and you'll see that, in addition to all the normal colors, they have packages of "Exclusively at Target" red Peeps!


Now, I enjoy Peeps, I really do, but somehow these almost look a little.. evil. What do you think?
