Which is better Peeps or Cadburrry Eggs?

People might think that Easter is one of the less-noticeable holidays, but we beg to differ—and so does the National Retail Federation, which found that Americans spent about $16.4 billion on clothes, candy, food, and other Easter-related products in 2015 (which is an increase from $15.8 billion in 2014, so we can only imagine how big the numbers will grow in 2016). A big part of those costs? Easter candy—we coughed up approximately $2.2 billion on the classic jelly beans, chocolate bunnies (and their eggs), and those obnoxiously yellow peeps. Two of those candies have become synonymous with Easter over the years: Peeps (duh) and Cadbury Creme Eggs (double duh). But which one is better? We put it to a completely unscientific vote...by asking each other. Here's a glimpse at what our staffers had to say. 

Vote: Peeps 

"Because you can only have like one Cadbury egg without feeling like you're dying because they're so heavy."

Vote: Cadbury Creme Eggs"The eggs, without a doubt. They're like a bad boyfriend. You feel great in the moment, but so gross and guilty after."

Vote: Peeps"I like to age them by opening them for three days before eating them. They're so good stale."

Vote: Undecided "Peeps if you mean Cadbury Creme Eggs, but eggs if you mean Cadbury Mini Eggs because they are heaven in a sugary shell." 

Vote: Cadbury Creme Eggs "Obviously. I see them in the Duane Reade checkout and I know spring has arrived." 

Vote: Peeps "But they need to be the bunnies, not the chicks. They get crunchier when they sit for a few days, plus they're easier to eat in one bite." 

Vote: Peeps"I can feel my arteries clogging every time I eat a Cadbury Creme Egg." 

Vote: Cadbury Creme Eggs"Bring on the sugar sweats—they're worth it." 

Vote: Peeps"When I was studying abroad in Italy, my parents sent me Peeps for Easter. My Italian roommate tried one and she said it was the most sugar she had ever had in her life. It was awesome." 

Vote: Independent"A peep stuffed inside a Cadbury egg is my preference."

Total Count: Peeps 7, Cadbury Creme Eggs, 5
