The Secret lives of Peeps

Who knew that there were so many ways to torture a Peeps. You know the pastel marshmallow chicks and bunnies so popular at Easter. One particularly funny site, The Bunny Survival Tests Home Page, subjects the little critters to burning, drowning freezing and the dreaded microwave. At the Peep Research site, the chicks are subjected to a vacuum test, in which the air-filled critters balloon out until they lose air and collapse. Not all Peeps sites are mean to the little critters. PeepShow is devoted to the candies it hails as the only "thing on this earth that will outlive the cockroach in the event of a full scale nuclear event. Check 'em out:

Introduction to the B.S.T.web site:

To determine specific weaknesses and/or strengths possessed by "Marshmallow Bunnies"

In order to determine said weaknesses and strengths, many Volunteer Bunnies and Control Bunnies risked their lives to take part in several tests. The
tests were usually painful, yet not always cruel. They were as follows...

Flame Tolerance:

This test determined the subjects' extreme intolerance to concentrated heat.

Subjects were exposed to a 2000 degree flame for a variety of durations ranging from 5 seconds to 60 seconds. Apparently, the subjects' body
composition makes flame a constant hazard.

Oxygen Deprivation Test:

Using a wire brace, subject was anchored to a weight to prevent natural bouyancy from allowing the subject to float to the top. After one hour, subject
apparently chewed itself in half to escape desqualmanation (drowning). Unfortunately, the subject failed to predict that chewing itself in half only
succeeded in massive hemorraging in the midsection, and sadly, eventual death...
