Some people love them, and most hate them! Have you heard about Portland's first 'peep show'?

No matter how you feel about peep shows, it is a free country. I guess you could just not look. But truly, you want to take a peek at the peep.

Worst Peep Show ever? Portland, Maine, is divided.

Yup. Worst peep show ever. Seems like a waste of perfectly good Peeps. We have a listener in Australia who doesn't know what Peeps are. When I tried to describe them as marshmallows covered in colored sugar, he replied in the best accent ever,

That sounds awful.

It's a debate that comes around once a year: Do you love Peeps or hate Peeps? AP News went inside a factory where Peeps are made and came up with some fun facts:

  • On average, about 5.5 million are made each day
  • There are 6 Peeps for every man, woman, and child across the United States
  • There are 14 Peeps flavors, including cookies-and-cream
  • Originally, making the candies by hand took 27 hours.

Whether you're a fan or not, there's no denying it's a big part of what makes Easter a sugar-filled bonanza! The Easter Bunny is a fan, I'm sure, because they are always in all the baskets. And as far as a 'peep show', no, there are none in Portland, Maine. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Whatever you do for Easter, just have fun. If that includes Peeps, you do you!
