So when i worked in the back room at the Elmira College library i learned that the entire senior staff were obsessed with peeps (these are the same people who held annual chia pet contests just to get you guys some ide about the people i work for). anywho, some of the librarians would make peep runs to the local Fays store during their lunch break. BUT one could not eat them just yet...oh no! They had to be "seasoned" first. This required the peeps package to be slightly opened and stashed in the "peep" farm which was the emptied out file cabinet of one of the librarians. There the peeps would stay for at least a week (to give it time to get nice and stale and crunchy) at which point it was finally ready to be eaten.
