Decades ago there were many unique candies that came out only at Easter time in the US. They were made by relatively small companies. For example there were chocolate eggs with maple or raspberry candy inside. You didn’t see candy like this at any other time of year. There were also Peeps, which weren’t great but at least they were special in that you only saw them for a few weeks a year.
Then slowly Hershey and Nestle started flooding the shelves with egg shaped versions of their boring ass candy you could get any day of the year. And they started selling peeps with different shaped at Halloween and Christmas.
It’s a shame.
If you have one, visit a local chocolatier and I bet you'll still find unique stuff like that for holidays.
You can still get peeps, at least by me.
In The Good Place there's a scene that takes place in Australia where Chidi, who is a professor there, has a mental breakdown and makes peep chili. The thing is, Australians don't know what peeps are, so this scene made no sense to us. Anyway, that's the only reason I know what peeps are.
