Human Centi-peeps? A Froot-Loop Peeps Review.

It’s about time I said it without any shame.

I’m a slut for Peeps.

There, I said it.

SUE ME.

Peeps are a polarizing topic. Many people love ‘em, but most people hate ‘em. Along with candy corn, I love these little fellas.

The bunnies had always been my favorite because of the cute lil’ shapes and variety of ways to massacre them while eating them. Start with an ear and then go for the butt...sure! Chicks on the other hand are pretty boring to monch on - just a big blob of sugary goodness. That is, until they came out with Peeps Sticks. INNOVATION! Making Peeps portable is one of the best decisions they have ever made, but one of the worst for my oral health. Peeps Chick Sticks changed my opinion on what my favorite shaped marshmallow animal is, and I am grateful.

Not only are these portable Peeps my go-to purse snack, they also give me immense joy because of the visual design alone. The Peeps Stick looks like a creation by crazed surgeon Josef Hieter. Not familiar with the Human Centipede reference? Don’t worry, it’s still hilarious. May I present the Human CentiPeep:

Maybe I totally turned you off to the idea of even trying one now. WHO KNOWS. But I hope not, because they just came out with a Human CentiPeep flavor that is out of this world that you must try.

As an avid brand stan, Peeps have really upped their game in the last few years. They’re really trying to appeal to a larger audience by introducing inventive new flavors; one of which is the newest brand integration with Froot Loops. Froot Loops flavored peeps...the ultimate sugary concoction, and let me tell you, I’m freaking HERE for it.

These little dudes are irresistible. From the joyful packaging with Toucan Sam on the side, to the bright tropical colors of the Peeps, if they don’t magically jump into your shopping cart when you’re roaming the Easter candy aisles, you’re missing out.

As soon as you open the package, your nostrils are filled with the distinct fruity smell of Froot Loops and let me tell you, your tastebuds will not be disappointed either. They taste exactly like Froot Loops, without the pain of trying to scarf down the cereal before they get gross and soggy in the bowl of milk and lose all the flavor.

My first experience with these lil’ hunnies was at the MET museum in Manhattan. My parents came for a visit and brought me one of these gems. Look, I know there’s a no eating or drinking policy in museums, but damn, walking around for three hours looking at ancient shit really lowers the blood sugar. Not to fear, I pulled out my convenient Peeps Stick and snacked on it in the Catholicism section while peering down on an ancient Bible, just as the lord intended.

From that moment on I was obsessed and needed to find more to build up a stash. They’re only available at Target and Walmart, two stores in which NYC feels they are “above” so I couldn’t find the Froot Loops Peeps anywhere. My brother heard my woes, and thankfully sent me a care package with two sticks of these bad boys. Within two minutes, one whole sleeve was gone.

Trust me, you need to try them. And better yet Peeps, you better bring these back next year. I’m a marshmallow and cereal junkie who needs her fix.
