Peep's-It's that time of year!





As a kid, at Easter, Peep's were a very big deal. My mom, while pulling together all the stuff she would put in our Easter baskets, made sure properly "seasoned" Peep's were included. By seasoning I mean, she would pop a small hole in the cellophane of the Peep's box to let just a small bit of air in to let them get slightly stale. We didn't like them fresh, we liked our Peep's a little crunchy. Now as adults and in recent years, Peep's have turned into a cultural phenomenon. Peep's creations pop up around Easter, artists interpret their affinity to this non-disputed champ of pop American consumer culture. Here are a few of the Peep's contributions for 2008!
