\"Peeps<\/p>\n

This year in 2013, JustBorn’s Peeps are celebrating their 60th Anniversary, but back in 2003 they marked half-a-century with a big 50th Birthday celebration.\u00a0 One of the neat Peeps items in my collection from this period is a 50th Anniversary sales brochure and a set of “through the decades” Peeps graphical ad sheets.\u00a0\u00a0 To see them all, make the jump.<\/p>\n

Though Peeps are traditionally associated with the Easter holiday, they’ve long been produced and sold with other occasions in mind.\u00a0 That was certainly the case for their 50th Birthday when Just Born presented Peeps of all shapes and colors for a throughout-the-year promotion.<\/p>\n

This brochure is 26 pages long, and rather than cherry pick pages, I’m going to post the entire contents here.<\/p>\n

Even though we’re currently in the midst of Peeps 60th Anniversary, I hope you’ll agree that JustBorn’s promotional materials for the 50th were so nice that they were worth including in this week’s Easter Countdown.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything for my look back at Peeps 50th Birthday.<\/p>\n

See you next time!<\/p>\n
