My mother never bought them for our Easter baskets when we were growing up. In fact, I didn't know what they were until I saw some in my nieces' Easter baskets about 10 years ago. Peeps certainly are a phenomena though. I think it is fascinating how new traditions are formed and how quickly they are adopted. Just look at the "green bean casserole", "honey-baked spiral hams", "hanging plastic Easter eggs on trees outside in your yard" -- we never did any of this when I was growing up in the 60's.
