- Just Born makes 2 billion Peeps a year in their Bethlehem, PA factory. Peeps make up 70% of Just Born’s annual revenue, and their peak sales season is Easter. Every year people fill Easter baskets, make dioramas, and have competed in eating challenges with these marshmallow treats.
Editor's Note: This video incorrectly states that Peeps make up 70% of Just Born’s sales. Instead, Easter accounts for 70% of annual Peep sales. Our apologies.

How 5.5 Million Peeps Are Made For Easter | Big Business - Навчання та стиль
I didn't know they had Halloween peeps but if they aren't called "creeps" I'm sueing them
Yo that’s actually kinda a good name bro but for the design bro they could just put an old man there
Yes cornhp...Easter has many pagan origins which are condemned in the scriptures...
Oops wrong thread
They can't call them 'Creeps' because Topps created a Wacky Packages card with the name first.
what would be your case for the lawsuit
This girl sounds like she’s recording this video while her parents are a sleep😂😂
xectly
I was about to say I would like to hear more voice overs by her, they're very comfy to listen to, very nice voice.
I laughed so hard when I read this comment because it's exactly what I was thinking.. lol
I checked the comments to see if anyone noticed lol
No it's just asmr 😂
The quality control part for the eyes and noses made me chuckle - I've seen some pretty derpy looking Peeps. My favorite was a package containing two Peeps that had kind of worried looking eyes, almost like they knew what was waiting for them. I saved those for last.
you made them watch!
How could you-
I did not have a single peep with properly positioned eyes in my entire package. Not a single one. They clearly have stopped all their quality control on that part.
Your sick!
In fact they look quite ugly. Not as I thought, litte chicken made out of mashmallow should look like. But I confess, I never saw them in reality.
I didn't know that the Peeps had wings before, they're wingless now 😭
XD

I used to run a gelato shop. Our most famous flavor was our Easter special "Peep Massacre" which was vanilla gelato with chopped peeps and raspberry ribbons. :)
You... monster
Yo, so where is this shop? I wanna try. LOL
hahaha thats great
I know u used past tense but is it still running? If it is, tell me the location it sounds delicious 🥰
How is it caaaaaaalleeeeeeedddddd plsss
It was called Sweet Espressions Coffee House. I sold it to adopt my daughter. Sorry, it is no more. Maybe someday I'll open another coffee and gelato shop.
the person in charge of the precision eye placement needs an eye exam because I've gotten cyclops and eyeless peeps in almost every pack😂🤣
for real😂
Maybe their job is reaaaally just to make sure every pack has at leaat one eye SOMEWHERE
😅🤣🤣🤣
My family used to have a tradition of sticking a peep on our car's antenna every Easter.
ahhh that’s funny😂😂
Another tradition killed off by auto manufacturers!!
@@b328i8 a
Wow
@Business Insider pardon?
My family likes to hide peeps all around our houses so we find them throughout the whole year and since they don't go bad you can tell how long they've been there for based on how hard they are 😂
rofl doesn't that invite ants or other little creatures that like sugary food?
They do go stale and hard though!
@@JLMetaMix my house would be covered in ANTS!!!!!!!
there is a certain point in a peeps life where it gets so old and hard that it can be used as a weapon
Fun tradition! But make sure that they’re packaged or in a sealed bag
I once had a friend that decided she was going to go on a no fat diet and she basically just ate these for 2 weeks. Needless to say, she didn't end up feeling too great. Lolol
And probably gained weight from all the sugar
Diabeetus!
I think she gained like 2lbs :,)
@@iceberg232323 Pretty sure dat is important for absorbing lots of different nutrients, sounds like that diet is a really bad idea.
@@Dirty_Bear22 fat is an essential part of our diets, as are carbs and sugars. The key is moderation of all 3 and other necessary parts. The reason obesity is an issue is because sugar (and somewhat fat) are way overconsumed which leads to the weight gain
Next video from Business Insider, " The Rise and Fall of Peeps".
...and rise again
They’ll never fall I don’t think. Not many ppl like or eat them but I think ppl get them just cuz it’s traditional Fr. When I think of Easter candy I think of peeps.
@@gidd and fall and rise and fall
@@iseley okay so the people you know like them. Most other people don’t like them. Everyone I’ve met and from what I see on social media, hate them. Just bc you know 5-15 people that like them doesn’t mean everyone does. I bet more ppl hate them than like them. But they still buy them because it’s a traditional thing. What’s the first candy anyone thinks of when they think of Easter? Peeps or jelly beans.
@@iseley i said from what I see on social media. Everyone shares pictures and posts about hating peeps and not eating them.
I absolutely adore peeps. I don't like marshmallow but I love the bunnies. I collect anything peep bunnies I find. I am a side sleeper and my elbows bother me if I don't prop them on something so I sleep with a giant pink peep in my arms every night. I have taken that peep on many many vacations and trips. I never sleep without it. My grandchildren now have become fans and we get so excited when we come across peep merchandise. It's so sweet when they come over for a visit and are excited to give me one to add to the collection. Peeps are just a family tradition and I will always love them! ❤️
TOO CUTE! 😆 Peep! Peep!
i’m not a huge fan of Peeps but my grandma used to make a two tier cake for easter every year that was always covered in the bunny peeps. Just thought I’d share. This comment was so heartwarming. Hope you and your loved ones have a great Peeps-eating season!!!
Never had a peep (or heard of them until just now. Not really a thing where I'm from, I guess). But thus comment is so cute!
Dang so every candy this guy invented is still around and loved by many he had a true talent
I find Peeps to be a particularly intriguing slice of Americana as, so far as I'm aware, they're essentially unknown outside of the US. Such a big traditionally Easter thing, apparently, but they've never really made it into worldwide popular culture in the way, say, twinkies have.
Yeah I'm not American, and I've heard of them but I've never seen them before. Do you guys have chocolate eggs at Easter? I saw in the comments that people said they hunt for them but where I live we do an Easter Egg Hunt (little chocolate eggs) or get a rabbit shaped chocolate. No marshmallow at all.
@@alaskapuss yes we also have them, We have all that I just guess we have peeps too. I did not know until just now the rest of the world did not have peeps. They taste great but you are not missing much its just marshmallow wish sugar on them.
Twinkies only got famous after the Zombieland movie before in my circle nobody had ever heard about the treat.
So I think if they would be featured in any blockbuster people not from America would start to recognize them.
@@miprichan No, twinkies have been a well known movie institution for decades. Ghostbusters and Die Hard spring to mind. But, yes, in terms of making peeps more well known, having them in films would be crucial. A bit late now, though. The American film food clichés are established.
I’m Canadian I’ve heard of them but never really seen them this is the first time I’ve learned about them
When the Easter season begins:
*Everything changed when the Peep Nation attacked*
Lmaoo underrated❤️
I love that this company is called Just Born, and that it's a play on the founder's name.
When you weren't able to find peeps and UA-cam decides to rub it in your face: *Visible Pain*
Yes!
'The eyes are squirted on with precision and associates check the eye decorations' then they show this 5:25 😂
They really said
👁️
👄
👁️
Ok I can't be the only one surprised at how popular these are, like they are grainy, mushy, and sickly sweet
They're like music then.
all american candies are sickly sweet. yes, it does seem wrong to coat a marshmallow in sugar.
"He was looking for Jelly Bean technology"
Idk why but tht was so much funnier in the comments
So surprised there was no mention of aging peeps... absolutely my favorite way to eat them!
Stale peeps are the best
YESSS my dad goes to the store after easter when they're on sale an buys at least 1 crate ( 4:34 ) of peeps, and distributes them among my family. I like to leave them in a storage bin under my bed for a couple years before eating, I have no idea how many boxes I have anymore because I can only eat like 2 at a time lol
@@blossomnessstudios4446 Your dad is my hero! While waiting two years may be a bit much, I slit the cellophane immediately. Speeds up the aging and ready to eat after 5 to 6 weeks. Bon appetite!
@@davidvoller726 That's the only proper way to eat them! Slit the plastic and let them "mature."
happy easter from Poland!
...
HAPPY EASTER! 🌷
A ja planuje sernik upiec na Wielkanoc 🥰🥰🤤

Happy Easter my man!
The Peep army grows stronger by the day. . .
great name
I enjoyed eating Peeps as a child, but I have adult taste buds now.
@Business Insider What Le feck?
you sound like one of those people who doesn't like pizza
Perfectly said. Thank God I’m not alone
@@kristinaude Pizza is overrated though 🤷🏼♂️
@@mrsteinbergenson7348 found another one
They check the eyes frequently? My peeps are traditionally cross eyed but maybe thats why they were half off. Like at 5:37 lol
LOL one time i saw a package of peeps that has the eye dots on the butt instead of the head like it was supposed to be.
Lmao. I work for Just Born and let me tell you, the struggle is real 😓
I love peeps so much. I would say it’s definitely on my top 10 favorite treats
Bro tell me I’m not the only one who recently tried one of these and didn’t taste like anything I swear I remember them having a taste
@eunoia no, I work at a dollar tree so constantly buy snacks but those peeps are just air I couldn’t taste them
@@yayan4611 they are probably a knock off or expired
Idk what you are talking about but they have taste
you shud get tested for covid, one of the symptoms is no taste. not trying to be funny just genuinely concerned
@@marleywenzel3207 no I know I don’t have COVID, I have a fast metabolism so I eat ALOT sand never had any problems with tasting
When I thought of Peeps I was literally was thinking of Francis eating Them on that one episode of Malcolm in the middle that the only time I seen them.
@@memelyshorts643 or do chores and be a good kid to deserve it.
I freaking LOVVVVE Peeps! I buy about 10 packs during Easter season they’re so yummy
This is the first time of me hearing about peeps or seeing them anywhere in the store
My family tradition of using peeps is on the day of Easter and all of our family and friends come to the biggest house for the hunt and lunch, the adults will make little snacks of them on plates or stick 5 peeps on a stick and call it "Peeps Kabab" like with sushi!!😁🐰
What sushi is served on a kebab ??
That's so cute 🥰
Who the HELL puts sushi on a kebab?!?! 😂
Peeps are like the modern candy corn, its just sugar and I can't imagine the amount of people who would eat these outside of their designated season.
When I was very young I had a peeps cruise book (I still have it), and one day when I was in a Dollar store I saw them on the candy shelf and couldn't have been more thrilled to find out they were a real product, I still get peeps every now and then.
I’m eating peeps while I watch this 😆
Same
i feel like i’ve seen this video before but it just posted-
Fr reupload?
The Fruit Loops ones were a hit today (Easter 2021 A.D.)! Happy Easter. And: He is risen.
I remember getting my peeps on easter as a kid ❤️ 🐣 brings back good memories
I was so disappointed last year when there was no Christmas Peeps. Eating a box while watching 😋
I could have sworn one of the peeps winked at me DX!!! When it was running down the line
I love these sooooo much these and chocolate,thank you😘
wait right here i'll be back in the morning
I know that I’m not that important to you
A children's treat for the Easter, great to learn a deal of events in their bussiness.
Thats a sweet job!
superior easter treats rewatching this since easters coming up
I love peeps, My wife said I'm crazy but I don't care. Don't take my peeps away lol
I invented Peeps
every Peep has a touch of my love
Thank you glorious leader :)
Tys fat man
We all know you invented everything that's good
I cant-
Voice over lady: they have people check for misplaced eyes
~Later~
A spinning close up of the peeps: multiple have misplaced eyes
if they're on the head, it counts.
Business Insider never disappoints .
Wassup crazy cat
Last year our Michael's had sooooo many Peeps and Easter eggs/ baskets left over from the pandemic hitting at such a bad time, they were bagging them up and selling entire garbage bags full for $5. When I went back with my daughter, they told her to take 2 extra bags (3 for $5), because they would "just have to throw it in the garbage if they couldn't sell them." For $10 I got 15 baskets, 20 boxes of bunnies (3 rows, not the skimpy 2 from this year), 5 boxes of chicks, somewhere between 200 - 300 plastic eggs, and about a dozen bags of fake grass and about a dozen squishy and/or light up bunnies and chicks, (plus a bunch of other weird rando stuff they had on clearance like a Himalayan salt lamp)
That might have been why they had very few peeps for sale this year....
Investment are stepping stones for success. Waiting for the government to provide is a big waste
Well said investing is good but investing in the right thing is the actual key to success.
The right choice of investment has always been a big problem for me because I know that picking up the wrong investment will leave a big scar in the future...
Investing in Bitcoin is another way of ensuring steady cash flow, I've been earning every week for a year now.
Is about ten months now I started investing with Christine Morgan and it's been a good experience all through....
It feels good to know that we still have trustworthy people like ma'am Christine Morgan, I'm very delighted I was transformed through her platform God bless her abundantly
Edible wax? I was told that was chocolate and I thought it was my whole life
They're the one marshmallow treat that doesn't get old
i loved the narrator! amazing tone of voice
Happy Peepster!
What's up peeps?
Yet here in the Niagara Region Ontario this year... I COULDN'T FIND ANY FOR EASTER!!! SOOO MAD!! They are and always will be my favorite!
I love that the ones they opened to show a close up of and spina round all fancy, has the most fkd up eyes out of any of them lol... good quality
This girls voice is so calming! 😂
I know some folks might beat me for saying this... But peeps are my favorite sessional candy...
How many sessions have you had??? Your poor therapist.....
Gotta love Peeps!!!
Damn they made a ton but somehow the peep shelves always empty
3:42 *We manufacture peeps all year long*
They are almost impossible to find outside of easter (The bunny and chick variety) and when you do find them they are stale.
That's why my dad goes right after easter and buys like 2 crates ( 4:34 ) of peeps lol
Some people love them stale
You're telling me people actually buy these things?!?! Let alone eat them?!
If you have kids, blowing them up in the microwave is a time-honored tradition.
Crazy right? So gross!!!
Are they even good? Never try them, I assume they taste.like marshmallow
Don't be such a killjoy. They are just sugary marshmallows.
I absolutely love the peeps brand !
Great. I just saw this video at 11pm and now i want some peeps.
I have to have my 1 package of peeps per year per holiday. I was devastated last year.
I’m 22 yo live in America and never had a peep but I’ve seen them in stores this month more than ever in my life. I might go get myself some after this video
That is the goal of the video, but more peeps!
They're so sugary but they're still so good.
omg
idk what these are but they're amazing :D
Just got some birthday cake flavor peeps the other day and they're so fun to eat! I top all my coffee with them 😁
Why did I watch this,
I'm going to the store now, anyone else want a pack?
Bring me back a 40🍻
3:27
Narrator : Squirted with precision
Me: why that one peep have two eyes one big and other small
Ate this a week ago, didn't know this is how they were made.
I know this is not related to the topic... but the narrator has such a calming voice! 😅
Fr though! So calming
Meanwhile I've never seen or tasted a peep in my life because they're not a thing here lol. I really wanna try one tho but won't it just taste like sugary marshmallow?
I love peeps....
i love peeps so much
Why is the narrator whispering, it’s making me uncomfortable
Because its a secret recipe.
its oddly calming tbh
I dislike it as well I prefer the confident clear voices like on how it's made
That's a lot of chicks!
Like the chickens grounded alive in the egg industry, sad
I hope they come back in sale in my country I loved them
Love the Peeps
Ma boi MATT STONEY
“How 5.5 million peeps are thrown in the garbage” fixed the title for you.
Nice video.
What a relaxing voice
Cool 😍😍😍😍
Why does America add sugar in everything, including flour. For real. They gotta put sugar I everything and anything and things that don't even need sugar.
Sugar good
Let me just say that the U.S.A has a fucked up marketed stupid expensive health care industry and sugar is cheap. Sugar in some ways is addicting and then adding that it's cheap, they get more money out of you. Also, if you end up diabetic..you know what other industry would love to have you at their medical center. It's the "money makes the world go round" quote. They don't care about you. It's just the truth.
I love those :D
I really like this video
Who has put a Peep in the microwave? 👍
Not me xD but I have to try!
These are like candy corn for me. They are alright and fun but I wouldn’t want to have it more than once a year
Ew. Candy corn and peeps taste nasty to me.
@@FirstnameLastname-xh9gd Both are nasty as hell for me
I'm 62 and still eat them since childhood-delicious
Peeps are best when you cut some holes in the pack and let them sit for 4-5 days
You monster. Delete this comment
Jesus Christ has risen!! Happy Easter
Happy Easter too you too
Love peeps
Everytime i see peeps i think of stomach aches i used to get as a kid eating these. And also the clip from a south park episode lol
Always get them after Easter for 50% off.
"made with precision"
*literally squirts two dots for an eyeball*
Ikr🤣🤣
Great
Kuwilileni Hauwanga voice 😍
Why is the narrator whispering so much
Because the peeps were Just Born! 🐣
