🐰 Easter Trivia:
- Easter Trivia... the Easter Bilby from Australia... 

In 1991, Rabbit-Free Australia launched a campaign to replace the Easter bunny with the Easter bilby, or rabbit-eared bandicoot. Why the switch? In Australia, rabbits are widely considered pests for destroying crops and land. Companies now make chocolate bilbies for Easter, pic.twitter.com/oVBXmhpY7N

Here are some Amazing Peeps Facts via (https://nationaltoday.com/peeps-day/)

 

🐤 Early 1950s...  the company that makes Peeps went from hand-made to marshmallow automation (manufacturing time went from close to 27 hours to six minutes!) 
🐤 2009... Peeps Lip Balm is introduced. *Not food.
🐤 2017... World Peeps-eating champion... Matt Stonie of California won the second annual World Peeps Eating Championship in 2017 when he ate 255 peeps in five minutes!

🐤 Amazing Peeps Fact Quote: "In 1999, some scientists at Emory University tested the theory that Peeps are indestructible by microwave, tap water, acetone, boiling water, and sulfuric acid. The candies survived them all until they were tested with phenol, in which only the eyes remained!" 
🐤 What is the best-selling Peep? Yellow chicks are the original Peeps and still the people’s  favorite. 
🐤 Peep Eyes Fact: Those Peeps peepers are made of carnauba wax (also used in some shoe polish and car wax.) 
🐤 Peeps are the Best-selling non-chocolate Easter candy... around 700 million Peeps are eaten each Easter season!
