Got a press kit in the other day with egg-shaped marshmallow Peeps and decorating gel. (Yes, I know. I get the best mail.)
Anyway, Pat, who designs the Flavor covers at work, surprised me with a portrait.

Look familiar?

Uh, disturbingly so.
I never thought I had an egg-shaped head. Guess I do.
We all had a laugh. Then I dropped it gel side down on my desk.

Ooops.
Wait. What does that look like?

Oh. Now I know.
The Peep of Tourin.
Question: If you enhance the appearance of your marshmallow Peep, could you be accused of “pimping your Peep?”
Just asking.
