It's Not Just You, Peeps Really Are Everywhere Right Now

WARMINSTER, PA – APRIL 18: Pink and yellow Marshmallow Peeps are seen April 18, 2003 in Warminster, Pennsylvania. Just Born, the manufacturer of Marshmallow Peeps, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Marshmallow Peeps, and now produces more than one billion individual Peeps per year. Last Easter, more than 700 million Marshmallow Peeps and Bunnies were consumed by men, women, and children throughout the United States. Strange things people like to do with Marshmallow Peeps: eat them stale, microwave them, freeze them, roast them and use them as a pizza topping. Marshmallow Peeps and Bunnies come in five colors.

You might remember or maybe you tried to block it out, but there was a Peep shortage last year.

The pandemic caused “Just Born Quality Confections” to temporarily suspend production at two of its facilities. The sugar giant is back in the full swing of things and now we’re seeing Peeps everywhere.

A statement from the company said “Peeps is back and better than ever”. There are several new flavors joining the traditional Peeps including Cotton Candy Flavored Marshmallow Chicks and Chocolate Pudding Flavored Marshmallow Bunnies.

After a shortage in 2020, the marshmallow confections are back and popping up with even more collaborations from 7-Eleven lattes to Pepsi. https://t.co/ChFwxjuTVC
