Easter just wouldn’t be the same without peeps. Nearly everyone born since the 1950s remembers getting those colorful little marshmallow chicks and bunnies in their Easter baskets. They’re still popular today, largely because of their nostalgia value – and the fact that they’re so darn kitschy.
In fact, you could say that peeps are to food what ugly Christmas sweaters are to clothing. As a holiday tradition, they’re hard to explain. All we know is that we find them endlessly amusing.
If you’re giving peeps this Easter, you can make them even more amusing (in an appropriately campy sort of way) by attaching a silly message. To help, here’s a list of shamelessly goofy puns, jokes and sayings for all the peep-le in your life.
General
Here are some messages that work for all sorts of peeps, whether they’re chicks, bunnies, or one of the many other shapes that are available these days.
