PEEPS-EATING CHAMP

On Saturday, competitive eating champion Matt Stonie broke the world record for eating Peeps at the World Peeps Eating Championship in National Harbor, Maryland, devouring 255 Peeps in just five minutes. Stonie, who hails from San Jose, Calif., shattered the previous record of 200 Peeps in five minutes, which Stonie himself set at the first-annual National Harbor World Peeps Eating Championship last year. The 24-year-old also earned $1,750 in prize money and a Peeps-filled trophy.
* It’s like they say: first the Peeps, then the poops.
* Is Stonie his name, or the secret to how he can eat so much?
* The only thing grosser than eating 255 Peeps would be washing them down with orange Kool-Aid.
* Unfortunately “Peeps” now means “people” making this sound like a cannibal contest.
* So is that where the slang term “Peeps” came from? From marshmallow candy?
* Great, we’ve gone from fake news to fake slang.
* Hmm, it doesn’t say what hospital they took him to afterwards.
* $1,750 in prize money? Wow, let’s hope the big money doesn’t change him.
* Meh. Peeps are mostly air. Try eating 255 rubber duckies.
