Do you like Peeps? This time of the year, they seem to be everywhere!Peeps were first made in 1953, and it took 27 hours to finish the first one which was made by hand.
Now the Peeps factory in Bethlehem, PA, makes more than 4.2 million chicks a day.
Here's how:
The marshmallow mix sits in a heated pot, waiting to go to the press.
Freshly pressed Peeps wait for their sugar coating.
Yellow dye is sprayed onto the sugar that will soon coat the Peeps.
The Peeps continue down the line after receiving their new sugar coat.
The Peeps have their eyes imprinted.
Peeps that aren't perfect are taken off the line.
The Peeps are packaged and get ready to be shipped to stores.So, do you eat Peeps? I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of them, but I know lots of people love them!
