Video: 1,000 Peeps vs. Explosives and a SCAR 17; Happy Easter!

I may catch a little flak for this, but who else can’t stand marshmallow Peeps? Ever wonder what it would look like to blow up 1,000 of those little chicks and bunnies in an explosion of color and sugar? Me, too!

In this video, Kirsten Joy Weiss gets fancy with a slow motion camera and detonates a pile of Peeps by shooting it with her SCAR 17. The explosion itself is pretty awesome, but the post-Peep aftermath is what you want to see.

That’s one way to “roast marshmallows,” although I will definitely pass on a “Peep s’mores.” Call me a traditionalist, but give me a plain toasted mallow, a graham cracker and a Reese’s, and I’ll show you a thing or two about s’mores.

He has been writing for OutdoorHub for nearly five years, but anybody he is close with will tell you he has been telling hunting stories for far longer. He uses his experiences outdoors to write about things he loves - bow hunting, fishing, upland hunting, shed hunting, turkey hunting, waterfowl hunting, dog training, shotguns, ATVs and the outdoor lifestyle he lives in his home state of Michigan. Outside of hunting/fishing, he also loves to cook - especially with wild game - play golf and go on hikes with his yellow lab, Stella.
