I think that “Peeps” is a bit of a misnomer. These fluffy, sugar-coated calorie bombs don’t just tiptoe onto the scene. They rush into springtime with a ROAR, taking over Easter baskets like a plague. And their marketing prowess is just as aggressive, but in an effective, endearing and even hysterical way. Check out these examples to see what I’m talking about.

Who knew that glorified marshmallows could be so versatile? And have so much personality?? Since we’re constantly fine tuning our content creation skills, we decided to throw ourselves a curveball and work with some very un-FRESH materials. We quickly discovered that Peeps make terrific supporting actors, muses, dancers, crafting materials and s’more! Take a look at the following five ways to create content with Peeps.

1. Create a Vine Video.

These peeps show off a whole lotta rhythm and moves in six short seconds:

2. Produce a Peepet Show.

Silent films are kinda making a comeback (anyone remember The Artist from a couple years ago?) and fresh fruit and Peeps are ready for their close-up!

3. Craft with Peeps.

Marci proved she can turn just about anything into a craft-worthy component, resulting in a sugar-coated centerpiece.

4. Stage a photo shoot.

Peeps, it turns out, are quite the hams. We also found out that our Peeps have a severe case of FRESH envy, as evidenced by this photo “Story Time with Peeps”.

5. And, the good ol’ stand-by…. EAT THEM!

Peeps make for very colorful s’mores and are super easy to throw together for some Office Eats!

We encourage you to have some fun with Peeps over the holiday weekend – we’d love to hear all about it!
