Kelly McMahon sent me this year's finalists in the Peep Diorama contest. Despite my hatred for the Peeps, some of these are really good. KLAATU BARADA PEEPTO was a personal highlight.

They're just marshmallow extruded into seasonal shapes and dredged in coloured sugar. When they dry out, they're like styrofoam. I hate 'em. Many folks like them. Peeps have always been big on the Internet, oddly. Back in the mid-90's, there was a funny website where people did science experiments with Peeps. (They swell up if you put them in the microwave, for example.) Then a few years back, the Peeps people hit on the idea of this craft contest and it kind of went viral. They're always big this time of year.

(It's kind of a running joke in my family to send me Peeps every year. I have complained so much that eventually they stopped though.)
