Inflicting the 10 Plagues on Marshmallow Bunnies
Easter may have come incredibly early this year, and Passover is still nearly four weeks away, but I can thank a clever Flickr user, operating under the moniker “stylecouncil1,” for reminding me of the traditional connection between these two springtime holidays.
A year ago, “stylecouncil1” posted a set of photos — which was only brought to my attention today — reenacting the 10 Plagues using the popular Easter-time marshmallow bunny treats known as “Peeps.” My personal favorite is the reenactment of the plague of frogs.
