Have a "Good" Friday

With Easter in 2 days, I thought I would let you know some fun facts about PEEPS Marshmallow Candies...

• In 1953, it took 27 hours to create one PEEPS Marshmallow Chick. Today, thanks to advances in technology, it takes six minutes.
• There are enough PEEPS Marshmallow Candies produced in one year to circle the earth twice.
• In the late 1950's PEEPS wings were "clipped" to give them a sleek, modern look.
• PEEPS Candies have been the #1 non-chocolate brand at Easter for over 20 years.
• Yellow is America's best selling color of PEEPS chicks and bunnies.
• Yellow and white PEEPS chicks and bunnies came first, followed by pink, lavender, blue, green and orange.
• If you had 8,000 PEEPS bunnies, and you stood them in a straight vertical line, you could reach the top of the Sears Tower.

What is your preference? The Chocolate Dipped Marshmallow Chicks? The Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Chicks? The Original Marshmallow Chicks? The Sugar-Free Marshmallow Chicks? The Peepsters? The Marshmallow Bunnies? The Chocolate Mousse Flavored Marshmallow Bunnies? Did you even know there were that many varieties?

Well, whatever your favorite PEEPS is, MarketMatch would like to send Happy Easter wishes your way!

Until we talk again,
