The Pieces are good for movies snacks, or in a milkshake or cookie dough, and I much prefer them over M&Ms, unless they are Peanutbutter M&Ms. The Cups are also good for cookie dough, and I have a very passionate love for the inside out Cups, to the point that ordinary Cups cannot fullfill me any more. <BR/><BR/>Master Fob: I, too, have often wondered about the spawn of Piggy and Frog. Personally, I think that the child needs more Piggy traits, like perhaps her eyes. It looks like a girl-child, she should have Piggy's pretty blue eyes.Erin aka- absent-minded secretaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006072541390397026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517384.post-1141221774828077512006-03-01T07:02:00.000-07:002006-03-01T07:02:00.000-07:00I've often wondered what Kermit and Miss Piggy's c...I've often wondered what Kermit and Miss Piggy's child would look like.B.G.
