The History of Easter Candy
tanagra writes "The days are longer, the sun is brighter, the colors are rich, and the candies are pastel. 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."
It always amazes me how vain many people are and how blind they are to the rest of the world. Also - WTF is this article doing on slashdot??? Slow news day??
My sig beat up your sig.
Never heard of any of those candies. From their names they sound rather disgusting. You should rephrase that to "rule the US of A" where the sense of taste is a long gone memory. In the meanwhile the rest of the world enjoys chocolate eggs.

As a European I assume your Easter involves a lot of hating jews.
"I have killed my Jew; I am going to heaven!"
Anti-Semitic crimes frequently go unreported in the major press, suppressed by French authorities, victims fearing retribution--and news agencies.
French Jews live in constant fear, Poller said. Everyday activities, such as taking a taxi, going to synagogue or shopping can bring attacks. The entire community is traumatized. This pattern was effectively repeated with the November murders in Paris after initial reports indicated that both cases were anti-Semitic crimes.
Given intense and worsening anti-Semitism in France and Europe, there seems little hope that the government will actually investigate the arson, much less prosecute the perpetrator if it finds one. After all, EU officials deny the severity of the problem. Last week, they shelved an EU report on the subject for fear of antagonizing Muslims, who were behind many of the incidents examined.
Europe a vile place and a pradise for bigots.
The world has a population of roughly 6,000,000,000 people. Of those, approximately 300,000,000 live in the USA. This means, according to the summary, around 5,700,000,000 people currently on this planet do not come from "the world".

Hey dumbass, way to show your mastery of irony. You slam an entire country, larger than most others in population, racial diversity, and square mileage, for rash generalization. Do I need to point your rash generalization out? WTG Idiot.
