The way to eat a Peep is totally personal. Some eat the head first, another the tail. Others, myself included, poke holes in the wrapping to let them get stale. You can bake with Peeps, microwave them, freeze them, even order a pizza with Peep topping. Anything goes.

Answer: False

The shelf life of Peeps, if stored properly, is years. In 1 million years, someone will dig up a pack of Peeps, and they will probably be edible!
