Was this photo taken today or in March 2009?
TRICK QUESTION. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL.
Well, I suppose you could tell because I remodeled the fireplace this year and that tile is no longer a thing in my house, but the Peeps topiary? IT LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME.
Peeps hot glued to some Styrofoam outlasted ceramic tile. True story.
We are at -LITERALLY- twelve years since I made those topiaries and they haven't aged a day. I have had to hot glue a couple of them back to the Styrofoam because the glue gave out before the so-called marshmallows, but still. No bugs. No stickiness. No color changing. Nothing. They are in perfect condition.
So, as I say every year, you go right ahead and eat some Peeps. I'll be over here hot gluing them to stuff instead.
