Review: Bubblegum Peeps (A So Good Exclusive) & YAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN C’mon Now, NBA/NHL…
Junk Food Nation, I am a sports fan, through and through. Readers of this blog know this. And I have aged a good 3-4 years over the last week and a half because of the NHL and NBA playoffs. The Stanley Cup has had three overtime games, with last Wednesday’s Game 1 going into TRIPLE OVER TIME. The NBA Finals have had blowouts, close ones, and Tuesday’s heart thumper in OT to force a Game 7. I HAVEN’T SLEPT MORE THAN FOUR HOURS A NIGHT HERE.
I nodded off during OT of the hockey game last night, and I might have a coronary during tonight’s Game 7 between the Heat and Spurs. Sports fans – I know you hear me. Tonight’s game starting at 9:00pm pretty much guarantees I will be a zombie at work tomorrow.
So thanks, NBA and NHL. You’ve captured a nation’s attention…and you are slowly, slowly killing me.
Today’s junk food is something I reviewed over on So Good earlier this week: Bubblegum flavored Peeps!! Read a preview here:

WHAT UP, So Good Readers! Just your friendly neighborhood Junk Food Guy, here providing you with more amateur insight into some of the strangest snacks on shelves today! Today’s sampling: Bubblegum Peeps!
You know what I REALLY don’t like? Things that taste like bubblegum that AREN’T bubblegum. I’m talking bubblegum ice cream, bubblegum flavored frosting – yick. So of course, when I saw these Bubblegum Peeps, I was IMMEDIATELY drawn to them. Because why NOT just make bad decisions for myself? It’s a living. (Sidenote: It’s not a living.)

The only thing worse than Peeps is something that has been flavored using artificial bubble gum. I can’t imagine how awful those are.
@ICI: Heh, I felt the same way….but…admittedly, sort of liked them
Believe it or not, I actually found these on clearance for 44 cents. I thought they were way too bland, the bubblegum flavor felt very toned down.
@Kenneth: 44 CENTS!? I’ve been shopping at the WRONG places, lol
Whenever I’m presented with something that’s supposed to taste like bubblegum, I have the urge to spit it out, because when I was growing up, things that tasted like bubblegum, ie, bubblegum, were things you chewed for a while AND THEN SPIT OUT. Awful.
@Shorneys: Nail. Head. 😉
