Actually peeps are not just "pale blue or yellow" they are a dayglow bright pink, yellow or weird. Most people either hate them or love them (they are rather disgustingly sweet). I like them very, very stale. They are also fun to "blow up" in a microwave For some reason only another PetTalker would understand, several of us (without prior planning mind you) bought some at Easter and saved them to take to the BBQ last year. Don't even try to understand that one
