Peeps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peeps are small marshmallow candies, sold in the U.S.A., which are shaped into baby chickens, rabbits, and other animals. Peeps are primarily used to fill Easter baskets. They are made from marshmallow, sugar, gelatin, and carnauba.
Peeps are usually eaten in one of five ways:
- plain, out of the box
- dried (sometimes for years) and hardened.
- microwaved (which makes the marshmallows softball-sized)
- frozen
- roasted over a flame, like a regular marshmallow.
Peeps are made by Just Born, a candy manufacturer based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Just Born claims Peeps were introduced in 1953, but most aficionados say that Peeps were originally manufactured by Rodda Candy Company starting in the 1920s. When Just Born acquired Rodda Candy Company in 1953, they automated the process and mass-marketed them. Peeps were first advertised on television in February of 1999.
Many lovers of Peeps refer to the period between February 15 and the Sunday after Easter as "Peep Season". In recent years, Just Born has expanded its line to include bats, cats and ghosts for Halloween; hearts for Valentine's Day; trees, gingerbread men, and snowmen for Christmas; and red, white, and blue chicks and stars for the 4th of July.

Cindy Margolis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Margolis was born in Los Angeles, California to a Jewish family. She started her modeling career on her own. While attending college at Cal State Northridge, she had a project in business class that dealt with greeting cards. She took this idea further and started selling a line of cards with her image on them. Her modeling career took off when agents started asking about the woman on the cards. She has modeled in advertising for companies such as Reebok, Vidal Sassoon, Coors, Hanes, and Sunkist as well as countless infomercials. Margolis has also appeared as one of Barker's Beauties on the game show The Price Is Right.
Margolis found megastardom in the early days of the Internet. As she had done with greeting cards, she created her own website rather than wait for opportunity to find her. She was named Yahoo! Internet Life magazine's "Queen of the Internet" from 1996-1999. She also found her way into the 2000 Guinness Book of World Records as a result of being the "most downloaded" person in 1999. The record was 70,000 times in a span of 24 hours. Amazingly (when compared to the manner of recent on-line Glamour photography), her nipples were never plainly visible in either her website or her numerous appearances in Playboy.
In November of 2005 Cindy Margolis teamed up with the World Poker Tour to become the new hostess for Chipleaders.
Margolis is married to restauranteur Guy Starkman. Following fertility treatment, Cindy gave birth to a son, Nicholas Isaac, in 2002 and twin daughters, Sabrina and Sierra, in 2005.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Easter egg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Easter eggs, also known as Spring eggs in the United States, are specially decorated eggs given out to celebrate the Easter holiday or springtime. The oldest tradition is to use dyed and painted chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute eggs made from chocolate, or plastic eggs filled with candy such as jellybeans.

Candy Easter eggs can be any form of confectionery such as hollow chocolate eggs wrapped in brightly-colored foil. Some are delicately constructed of spun sugar and pastry decoration techniques. The ubiquitous jelly egg or jellybean is made from sugar-coated pectin candy. These are often hidden, supposedly by the Easter Bunny, for children to find on Easter morning.
Decorated eggs are much older than Easter, and both eggs and rabbits are age-old fertility symbols. The Passover Seder service uses a hard-cooked egg flavored with salt water as a symbol both of new life and the Temple service in Jerusalem. The Jewish tradition may have come from earlier Roman Spring feasts.

Scientology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
