> What Easter basket is complete without one of those gooey yellow chicks sitting contentedly on the plastic grass? But Peeps are more than just a lovable and tasty candy; in fact, thanks to research conducted in 1999 by Emory University scientists James Zimring and Gary Falcon, Peeps have gained a reputation for being nearly indestructible.
>
> Strength: Most consumers of the marshmallow treat believe the candy is made primarily of sugar, a substance that dissolves in water. However, Zimring and Falcon found that the Peeps refuse to dissolve and instead merely float on top of the water, hot or cold. Peeps also cannot be dissolved in acetone, sulfuric acid, or sodium hydroxide.
>
> Weakness: Zimring and Falcon successfully deconstructed Peeps by dousing them in Phenol, a solvent with the ability to dissolve protein (coincidentally, this solvent is lethal to humans).
> The candy was dissolved within an hour, but left behind the wax eyes common to Peeps.
>
> Americans, for the most part, are oblivious to this research and continue to buy over 700 million Peeps a year. In their 60 years of existence, marshmallow Peeps show no signs of losing their beloved status in Easter tradition.

> So.....My husband wants to know, if all of this is true, why aren't we all pooping peeps?
