[livejournal.com profile] zia_narratora: I FOUND GHETTO PEEPS.
[livejournal.com profile] quizzicalsphinx: Do they have bling?
[livejournal.com profile] zia_narratora: Actually, they do.

Welcome to the world of the Marshmallow Pal, the Peeps' inbred bastard cousin.


These are them: The Marshmallow Pals. How can you pass up something that tries to out-peep the Peeps?

Their colors aren't as vibrant as peeps, but they appear to be wrapped similarly, in a little cardboard container with plastic stuff around them.

They are MARSHMALLOW WITH ICING DECORATION.

But under the plastic-box combo is ANOTHER plastic wrapper.

And then, once they're out of the second layer of plastic, they HAVE A PLASTIC TRAY. Man, these things could pretty much singlehandedly fill a landfill.

This is the only female of the four candies, a pink bunny with flowers. I think she's like the hootchie Smurfette of the Marshmallow Pals.

DELICIOUS



Then there is a boy bunny, who looks like he's meant to be purple, but he's actually more...gray. Actually, he could be a she. Or a hermaphrodite. There aren't any real gender labels on this one.




Then there is the first chick-duck thing. I think this one is supposed to be a duck because he is dressed like a sailor. A gay duck. I keep expecting him to start singing "June is Bustin' Out All Over."




This one is my personal favorite, and I've named him Leroy. He's another chick-duck thing, but he has more of a chick beak than the gay sailor duck-chick.

Leroy just has a nasty look on his face. I think he's the villain of the Marshmallow Pals

Also he has a mean bowtie. You don't mess with Leroy.




Biting into them, the frosting is kind of hard and the sugar tastes a little like food coloring. But on the inside, they are squishier than Peeps, which was a pleasant surprise. Here you can see the gooshiness of Smurfette!pal

In keeping with the grand old tradition of Peep Research, I had to see how the Pals stood up to at least one of the classic Peep tests. No explosion in the microwave-- the Gay Sailor Pal melted nicely at under 30 seconds at 50% power in the microwave. The frosting stood up to the heat, however.


I am happy to report that Melted Pal is quite delicious and they melt into a very consistent creamy goo, although I recommend a spoon for Melted Pal eating.

I would consider biting the heads off the Marshmallow Pals again! No real replacement for Peeps, though.

However, I may purchase another package to keep. I miss Leroy and his scheming ways.

Pals! Not Peeps! They are by a company called "Frankford" and are no relation to Mr. JustBorn Chickie and Mr. JustBorn Bunny.

But they are awesome

I am also somewhat attached to Gay Sailor Chick-Duck. In my head, he had a cruel lover's quarrel with Leroy and Leroy in his malevolent way fooled GSCD's into the microwave on the pretense of making up with him.

The whole thing was really a plot of Leroy's to get access to GSCD's inheritance. He never loved him.

But GSCD is in a coma due to enduring severe radiation as he was tortured by his gay lover, Leroy, when he revealed that he was going "straight" in order to turn his life around for a shot at convincing the beautiful Hoochie to give up her loose ways and marrying her because he's been in love with the girl ever since he walked in on the bunny "tending" to Leroy's "villianous needs"!

Best soap opera ever.

Leroy wants to pull the plug on GSCD's life support, and under the laws of the state of New Jersey, he has full rights as GSCD's domestic partner.

BUT WAIT.

In a dramatic twist, Hermaphrobunny comes in with a court order demanding that GSCD be kept on life support-- BECAUSE HE IS SECRETLY GSCD'S FATHER. MOTHER.

I love this post and all subsequent comments. Intensely. My personal favorite is the Hermaphrodite purple-gray bunny. You have woefully ignored him on this page.

GSCD will take on any role. Plus, Idina Menzel is married to Taye Diggs, so who wouldn't want to be the wicked witch of the west?
