Peoples Republic of Julia

Easter is almost here. It’s time for my annual I hate peeps post.

Over glorified marshmallows covered in sugar and cut into cutesy shapes. A simple idea that has spawned an entire demon empire. The other day when I went to the grocery store, I saw peeps baking mitts and plush animals in one of the frozen food isles next to the shoestring potatoes. I don't understand why people are so rabidly devoted to these things. There are fan clubs. Clothing. Gold charms. Wtf?

And get this. One of the ingredients is Carnauba wax. That's right. An ingredient used to make automobile wax, and shoe polish. Oh yeah, and it's used to make candy corn, the other demon spawn candy. Who eats that stuff? Nobody likes it. It's a cheap filler people use when they don't want to buy good candy. And it never goes bad. A good indicator that you probably shouldn't put it in your body. I wonder if it's like chewing gum? Sitting in your intestines like a brick for years?

It's a conspiracy.

Well, that's all I've got for now. I found this awesome video on you tube called "The Easter Bunny Hates You". Enjoy.
