Does any snack sing "spring" quite like the pastel-colored culinary marvel that is the Peep?*

Let me answer that for you: no. 

Jim Braude and Margery Eagan of Boston Public Radio waxed poetic (sort of) about these sugary little wonders. (Did you know, for example, that Peeps originally took 27 hours to make one Peep by hand? And that 5.5 million Peeps are made every day? Now you know.) Then they opened up the lines to you—where do you stand on the Peep?

To listen to the discussion, tune in to Boston Public Radio above.

*We don't use the term "marvel" lightly. Apparently these marshmallows are indestructible, even when exposed to sulfuric acid
