You’ve got to give props to San Jose competitive eater Matt Stonie.

It’s one thing to down 62 Nathan’s Famous hot dogs, as he did on Coney Island in 2015 to win the annual Independence Day contest. But 200 sugary Peeps, the sweetest of treats in the Easter basket, in five minutes?! Our teeth are aching as we type that.

Nevertheless, on Saturday, April 7, Stonie will defend that record, set last year in the inaugural Peeps Eating Contest at another waterfront site, National Harbor in Maryland, host of the Second Annual Peeps Day. His closest competitor managed 160 marshmallow chicks, Major League Eating reported.

The women’s record was set by Juliet Lee of Gaithersburg, Maryland, who ate 140 Peeps in the same timeframe. She, too, will return for the second annual contest, according to TV station WUSA-9.

The great dilemma: What to drink with Peeps? Winners receive $1,750 — and bragging rights. The competition, which also features an amateur division, gets under way at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time.

Those who don’t have the stomach for more than a few Peeps are invited to show off their artistry (the Peeps Diorama Contest) or their moves (Dance Like a Peep Contest). Check out the winners at www.nationalharbor.com.
