    Last weekend, amid the delicious chocolate treats and colorful Easter Eggs, we once again got a basketful of those other Easter treats which are a "...combination of sweet colored sugar and fluffy marshmallow [that] creates an unforgettable taste experience."
    Yes, we are talking about those yellow faux-chicken: PEEPS® Brand Marshmallow Candies -- produced by the Just Born corporation.
    Perhaps you were, ... er ... as lucky as we were ... to get a great big yellow flock of these -- some would even say, edible -- Chicks.
    In 1953, it took 27 hours to create one PEEPS® Marshmallow Chick. Today, thanks to advances in technology, it takes six minutes.
    Accordingly for tonight's questions, how much do you know about... PEEPS® Brand Marshmallow Candies?
   Please choose from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question listed below.
   Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!

++ SCIENCE PROJECT OF THE DAY ++ -- No Joke, PEEPS® Joust Experiment:

PEEPS® jousting is unexplainably popular.
Put two PEEPS® on a plate facing each other, each inserted with a toothpick that sticks out in front like a lance.
Heat in microwave.
The PEEPS®will expand until one’s toothpick “stabs” the other and becomes the winner.
