05-03-2003, 06:32 PM

Well last night i was really bored, so me and a few of my friends went to kmart...low and behold! Boxes of 15 peeps were 10 cents each!!!! Hell yes. so we loaded up boxes till our cart was full (76 to be exact) and checked out complete with leers, snickers, and all out cheering from the kmart employees and patrons. What we wound up with was this...

Facts:
Total Peeps-1140 (21ish lbs)
Total Sugar- 8102 Grams (18ish lbs)
Total Fat- none
Total Calories- 16,580
Awesomeness quotient- off the charts.

ARTelevision · 05-03-2003, 06:35 PM

the first image is a post-modern piece of sculpture if I ever saw one.
Good work!

reconmike · 05-03-2003, 06:37 PM

Glory's Sun · 05-03-2003, 06:40 PM

no fucking way! I'm headed to K-mart right now.. I love those things! great post!

crackpot · 05-03-2003, 08:37 PM

Hilarious!
If you can spare one, I read in another thread that they're cool to microwave (swell up and/or catch fire, something like that).

Reese · 05-03-2003, 08:46 PM

RoFL... So how long do you think it will take you to eat them all?

phredgreen · 05-03-2003, 08:55 PM

you people are sick... just plain sick... you're fired. all of you.

slacker00 · 05-03-2003, 09:43 PM

now you just have to put them in your closet and let them get stale before you eat them

troit · 05-03-2003, 09:43 PM

this thread put a smile on my face.....good stuff. Now the real challege here is to have a contest and see who can eat the most in an hour....

b1m2x3 · 05-03-2003, 09:44 PM

HOLY CRAP!
that is amazing. you should send that to the peeps company... they will probably send you some for free.....

05-03-2003, 10:25 PM

You'll be shitting pastel colors for days.

Tried....threw up after 75, thats 540 grams of sugar. As for the peep company we have enough proof of purchase points or "peep points" so we could buy any of the following

-20 peep keychains
-3 peep tshirts
-a peep alarm clock
4 peep hats
-a peep mouse pad
-lots of other assorted peep trinkets.

BoCo · 05-04-2003, 06:09 AM

You're off a little on the total calories. A gram of sugar has 4 calories, so you have a total of 32,408!

Err... I don't think he needs any more

cj2112 · 05-04-2003, 08:33 AM

That is waaaaaaay over the top! You seriously need to write the manufacturer of peeps, and attach a couple pictures. I can't imagine the perks you are due, but you certainly deserve a few from the company.

merkerguitars · 05-04-2003, 09:09 AM

Holy shit that is alot of peeps.....Damn imagine the sugar high you can get off of those......

RubberSouls · 05-04-2003, 09:15 AM

You better share!!

uber1 · 05-04-2003, 09:15 AM

hahahahahaha. that is awesome. Kmart is good for certain things.

Force 10 · 05-04-2003, 09:40 AM

That's too funny. Post again when you want to sell for 5 cents ;-)

jmf1234 · 05-04-2003, 10:54 AM

That was great. I'd go with the T-shirts

forgive my apparent ignorance,
but whats peeps?

degrawj · 05-04-2003, 08:04 PM

omg... that is so cool. i wouldn't even eat that many peeps in my entire life!

snowy · 05-04-2003, 08:33 PM

They're really quite good roasted over an open flame like a marshmallow. The sugar carmelizes and gets crunchy. Absolutely delicious!

SexyCat · 05-04-2003, 08:56 PM

Roasted peeps does sound pretty good. I am a big fan of roasting marshmallows even if Peeps aren't my favorite.

nefarious · 05-05-2003, 12:30 AM

what a waste of food money time and peeps. i can't believe you did that.. dont you have respect for the fact that there are people who would kill to have one PEEP!?

well okay maybe not .. haha

why were they 10 Cents? did they last too long after easter? or was that some ploy to get people to go into k-mart?

i never liked marshmellows .. peeps look equally over-sugared.

Home of the Peep

alpha phi · 05-05-2003, 05:20 AM

Man apex, you are going to have peeps left over for next easter!
You could even give them as gifts!

rockogre · 05-05-2003, 07:19 AM

So, how many btu's do you think they contain? You could warm your house with them.

Interesting purchase.

Frosstbyte · 05-05-2003, 08:10 AM

That is brilliant. In all of my random antics with my friends, I can't believe we never thought of something like this. Well done. Well done.

Troublebot · 05-05-2003, 08:54 AM

Man, I can't even imagine eating one Peep. Way too much sugar for me.

However, I think it's an excellent way to spend a few bucks. It's funny as hell and you've shown that it qualifys as art. Way to go!

GreenCloud · 05-05-2003, 09:41 AM

wow, yall should try to get a peeps endorsement deal or something

Empty_One · 05-05-2003, 12:27 PM

hey dude, do you have a peep I can borrow?

TerresqueÜ · 05-05-2003, 12:33 PM

It's Jenga with peeps

...Does anybody remember what Jenga is?

Eviltree · 05-05-2003, 06:27 PM

pardon a simple soul for asking, but what is a peep?

Empty_One · 05-05-2003, 06:30 PM

a peep is a marshmellow like substance, shaped into the form of a chick (baby chicken) like creature. Named, I'm guessing, for the sound chicks make. More importantly, they are a tasty treat that will survive a nuclear attack.

SecretMethod70 · 05-05-2003, 07:45 PM

<a href="http://www.moviesoundscentral.com/sounds/rain_man/kmart.wav">KMart sucks.</a>

Seriously though, that's pretty funny/cool. Sorry to hear about you throwing up though
