Peeps in a vacuum chamber

Chief scientist, Carl Nelson puts Peeps in a vacuum chamber to find out what happens when the air is removed from the fluffy candy. The balloon and Peeps expand as the air pressure in the chamber is reduced by the vacuum pump. Peeps contain millions of tiny air pockets inside the gelatin/sugar mixture they are made of. As the air expands inside the Peeps, it pushes against the walls of the air pockets, and eventually tiny rips and tears form between the air pockets. Those tears allow the air to escape. Once the air stops flowing out of the peep, the force exerted on the Peep relaxes a bit and it begins to slowly shrink. Allowing air to rush back inside the chamber further crushes the Peeps as the air slams against the Peeps.
