My favorite PEEPS moment happened just yesterday. My little one was eating a PEEP when we had company over. She proceeded to tell me their favorite way to eat a PEEP was to microwave them for 10 seconds. I have never heard of that. I usually let them sit out to harden before I eat mine. Well, I tried it and son son went nuts. It expanded and got huge! He thought it was the funniest thing, he couldn’t believe it. So needless to say, he has requested to eat them several times just to see them expand. So what is your favorite PEEPS Moment?
In 2009, Just Born, Inc., maker of PEEPS®, MIKE AND IKE®, HOT TAMALES® and PEANUT CHEWS® opened its first retail store named PEEPS & COMPANY®.
PEEPS & COMPANY® is located at the banks of the Potomac, minutes from Washington D.C. at the very center of National Harbor’s dynamic main plaza. Directly in front of the PEEPS & COMPANY® store is the Seward Johnson’s famous statue, The Awakening, along with sweeping views of the beautiful Potomac River. The store’s location is at a converging point for residents and thousands of visitors arriving by bus, car, and ferries, which dock at the piers in front of the store.
