Peggy Bundy's Lazy Day Coconut Bonbons (Married With Children)

Everybody knows the phrase “sitting on the couch eating Bonbons”, but ask most people what a Bonbon is, and they’d be hard-pressed to tell you. The name bonbon (or bon-bons) refers to any of several types of sweets, especially small candies coated in chocolate. Coconut Bonbons are the best of all.

On the hit 1980’s-1990’s sitcom “Married With Children”, Peggy Bundy seemed to have the life of luxury sitting on the couch eating Bonbons watching television all day. Peggy Bundy is the wife of Al Bundy. They met at Polk High School and apparently got married soon after graduation. Her maiden name is Wanker, and is a former resident of Wanker County. Peggy is often selfish and lazy, refusing to get a job and help the family financial situation. In fact, she often worsens it by shopping and spending money they don’t have. She also spends her day sitting on the couch, eating bon-bons and watching Oprah.
