they certain look cute enough to be delicious... but unless I've tried them I can't be sure. I don't think we can get them here.

:eek: poor bastards

I used to love the peeps, but now I can't stand them.
Jellybeans are awesome! Only certain kinds, though. I think my favorite are the starburst jellybeans. :thumbs_up

[*Classic*Charm*]

It's all about the jelly beans!

[Shalot]

Jellybeans are better because every color jellybean tastes different. Peeps taste the same no matter what color they are. Also, there are more kinds of jellybeans than there are kinds of Peeps (unless Peeps has started making Peeps with flavors or something). I'll admit that some kinds of jellybeans (or brands maybe) are really really bad. Starburst jellybeans are the best in my opinion, but some flavors of jelly bellys are quite good also. I love licorice jellybeans or Bird Eggs (I think they were called that at one time).

In my opinion Peeps are one of the worst candies. They're just too sweet for me I guess. Of course, someone will probably want to punch me for saying that Peeps are horrible, and that's okay. I've known people who truly like to eat Peeps, but I've never been one of them. My stomach hurts a little just thinking about eating Peeps.

I don't like marshmallows, even if they are neon. I'm not a real big fan of Jelly beans either, but that wouldn't stop me from eatin them.

[LadyWentworth]

Peeps 100%. I love those things! I will buy them with each holiday. I will literally buy a package of each color/style and flavor, when they have the different flavors. I think they are fantastic. I know a lot of people who eat them like them "hard", but I prefer them fresh. So I always manage to buy them, and eat them, early. As soon as they come out.

I really don't like jelly beans at all. Some flavors are OK (I prefer Jelly Belly), but I can live without them. They always get stuck in my teeth, and I can't stand that.

Gthulgheeeeeeewwwww!!!

Peeps are revolting!!!! *shudders*

grossgrossgrossgrossgross!

[illuminatus]

Starburst jellies reign supreme... :)

[Niamh]

As i have never heard of peeps, it has to be jelly beans!

[K.K.]

I'm surprised that so many people haven't heard of peeps-- I HATE those things! Jelly beans are tops, especialy Tuti Fruiti Jelly Bellies.

[The Comedian]

Jelly beans rock -- but Black jelly beans are a gift from the gods themselves. When I was a kid, my parents would give me only the black jelly beans because I loved 'em so much.

:)

Oh, please. They aren't that bad! :p

My grandmother would only eat the black ones. So every year my mother would buy her a bag of jelly beans that were ALL black.


I can't believe that I am the only one that likes Peeps. Well, that is fine. That just means that there are more for me in the world. :D

I really am not a fan of jelly beans, as I said before, but I am actually going to the Jelly Belly Factory this Thursday. Instead of jelly beans, I want to get myself some of the fantastic Sunkist Fruit Gems (I would sacrifice all the Peeps in the world to have a lifetime supply of these :)).

Are those the Jelly Belly ones that I mentioned? They have that.

[Niamh]

Really?

[1n50mn14]

I used to like Peeps, but then I ate myself sick on them, and also found out the revolting stuff of which marshmallow is made... also, there's variety in JellyBeans, and it's just more pleasure for your mouth. Better chewyness, more to play with. And also to pick out from your teeth later xD. Better snacking food, because they last longer and are smaller and more... picky.

[Shalot]

Jelly Belly made some Harry Potter jellybeans (Bertie Bott's Every Flavor beans I think) and the vomit ones actually tasted like vomit. Still, I think I'd rather eat a vomit flavored jelly bean than a Peep.

[higley]

Ugh how would you like to be the person who had to mix the artificial (lord I certainly hope it was artificial) flavoring for the vomit-flavored bean? "Is this right? No, too tangy. Maybe this. Almost there."

[zanna]

Lol, this is quite the debate!

I voted peeps, because I enjoy marshmallows, and because I've always wanted to try cooking one, and making s'mores. I wonder if it would work . . .

But, jelly beans are pretty awesome, especially if they are the Jelly Belly brand. My favorite flavors are lemon, blueberry, green apple, and licorice -- aka, the black ones, lol. Black licorice is awesome! That's why Crows are also great. =)

Me too! I love marshmallows period! I can't believe no one is voting for peeps. I live not far from the factory that makes them; it's in PA, another place we could tour if you ever came out here to visit, LadyWentworth.:lol: I can just imagine your suitcase full of the little packages of peeps and nothing else - you would have to leave your clothes behind, but for God's sake don't go home nude;) (referring to our recent movie discussion :lol:) I love them 'fresh' as well.

:lol: yeah - that's not a job that I would want. I think they also had a booger flavored jelly bean, but I don't remember ever eating that flavor. If I ate one, I didn't know it was supposed to be a booger and probably thought, "I wonder what flavor that was supposed to be." Since I don't eat boogers myself, I don't know what they're supposed to taste like anyway. Do you think maybe there were several flavor tasters employed and did they all have to sit around and agree that their concoction did in fact taste like boogers? Or maybe they just mixed up a bunch of random flavors and decided that they would just give it a yucky name. That would be my approach. I wouldn't worry about acheiving the flavor equivalent of booger. It's not like anyone is going to say, "hey, these don't taste like boogers at all."

If you place a marshmellow directly onto a charcoal grill, then it will expand and eventually explode.
Stand back if you try it.

I second that.

[Weisinheimer]

hmmm, I think I'd rather a peep than a vomit jelly bean...it's close though.

:lol:!!!

[sprinks]

Never heard of Peeps till now!

I'm not all that keen on jelly beans though. I only really eat yellow ones, or certain flavoured ones (like the Jelly Belly range)(especially the popcorn ones! :D)

[dramasnot6]

I LOVED jelly beans before I turned vegan. I had all kinds of favorite flavors...I loved butter popcorn and watermelon especially.

[papayahed]

It's that time of year again!

[cacian]

AH. I don't eat sweets. Does that mean i don't get to vote? haha. :biggrin5:

I know this post is four years old, but could someone maybe enlighten me on how jelly beans aren't vegan?

[qimissung]

My favorites are the Cadbury creme eggs, personally. But if I had to choose between the two, jelly beans win, hands down. Although eating tiny marshmallow chicks does have it's appeal, theoretically. :D

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

Jelly Beans for me.

[Calidore]

Costco sells Jelly Bellies in 4-pound jars, much to the dismay of my teeth.

If they contain gelatin, then they're made from cows.

[Adolescent09]

I guess I'm weird :(. They both taste revolting to me.

My attitude to sweets is - no chocolate, no point.

[cacian]

My attitude to sweets is - no chocolate, no point.

funny because chocolate coco is not naturally sweet honey is in contrast. coco is quite bitter.it is the amount of sugar we pile in it that makes chocolate sweet.
one does not eat as much chocolate as sugar itself. sachharine added sugar in chocolate gives it that extra sweetness and it is very fattening the sachharine not the coco bean.

[Zaza]

The point is not really whether it is very high cocoa content chocolate (less sweet) or low cocoa (sweeter), although the good quality stuff is always to be preferred. The point is, it is CHOCOLATE, and thus wonderful.
