This post makes me want to conduct my own experiment just so I can see a peep not dissolve in Sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid… Craziness. Peeps are fun for peep jousting. You put them in the microwave with toothpicks and see which one pops the other first… >_<

Can’t be dissolved? Perhaps I should think twice before ever eating such a thing again. What would I have done without your post… Reading this was an enlightening experience indeed. ;)

Never heard of these little devils. So, can you chew them? Do they just pass right through? Why would anybody ever EAT them?
