The History of Easter Candy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the brain-sploding-soo-much-sugar dept.

It's springtime once again, and in celebration of its triumphant return we enter into the saccharin sanctity of a world filled with Marshmallow Peeps, Jelly Beans, and other well packaged bits of sweetness sure to bring about a sugar-induced coma. Join us as we delve into the delectable not-so-distant past of Easter candy and learn, among other things, just how Marshmallow Peeps came to rule the world."

    Offtopic, but has anyone else noticed that firefox runs like shit after the latest update? Not regarding performance, but with rendering and cookies. I'm contemplating installing opera.

      Give Opera a try. I did about a month ago now and have not looked back. Once in a while some site won't render with anything but IE but by and large it is fast (much faster than IE), filters ads and I am totally pleased with it.

    It's snowing here right now. Southern Idaho blows, but only 'cause Utah sucks. In any case, this has to be the worst Easter/spring day ever.
