Big Yellow Peep

From a Welcome 2012! photo gallery at In Focus:

"A large illuminated Peep waits to be dropped to usher in the New Year, Saturday, December 31, 2011, at the Levitt Pavilion on the Steelstacks Campus in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania."

Peep? A marshmallow candy, apparently.

    Peeps are Easter candies. I always thought the name was the sound a chick makes. I’m not sure why it’s being used for New Year’s. No one likes them, but they’re like fruit cakes — everyone gives them as presents.
