Just Born
Here's a link to the Just Born company website. Just Born, among other things, manufactures Peeps and Mike & Ike candies.
I was thinking about Peeps the other day and found the website. Fascinatin' stuff: in 1953 it took 27 hours to create a Peep. Today it takes 6 minutes. The Peep candy is laid out on a belt coated with the sugar for the outer color, so the bottom is coated immediately. Afterward, the line travels through a machine that blows the remaining sugar around to coat the sides and top of the Peep - a cool sugar windstorm!
You can also "tour" the manufacturing plant - series of pictures, really.
I'll admit that when I first read the company name Just Born, I thought it was kind of stupid. Until, that is, I further read that the company was founded by Sam Born.
Peeps are not kosher!
