Adieu, Sweet Peeps
Mar. 23rd, 2008 11:35 pmI've just finished posting the last of the Death to Peeps Poems on the Boskone LJ. Do wander by, if you dare.
The final report on the Peeps solubility testing has been added to my long list of Things Needing Writing. Here are the results I found most interesting:
1) Acetone turns Peeps rock hard. They shrink and go clink-clink when you shake their jars.
2) 70% isopropyl alcohol dissolves Peeps faster than 91% isopropyl does. That's seemingly backwards, but true.
3) In all but a few cases, agitation contributes far more to the breakdown of a Peep than the solution it's submerged in or the number of weeks it spends in that solution.
4) My research upholds previous findings by Peep Research: "Given enough time, the proper resources, and access to some really toxic stuff, one can probably dissolve just about anything except Peep eyes."
