Reporting the horror of new Peeps flavors.

A local culture critic faces up to the truly scary inventions of modern processed food in his series, "Yeah, I Ate That." Every Wednesday me & MyGuy alternate reading it aloud and trying not to splatter food all over ourselves. This week's edition addresses Peeps* in all their Easter finery , and includes this paragraph:

Peeps are going nuts with the flavors. New to Peeps are “Filled Delights,” in which the chicks have a hard chocolate base, like the rubber tread on a slipper, and have another flavor injected inside the marshmallow. I swear, in the dead little eyes of the chicks, I saw a plea for help.

*Peeps are neon-colored, extra sweet marshmallows, originally shaped like small ducklings. Youtube is full of people putting Peeps in the microwave, if you're looking for something to watch.
