Peeps are just stale Marshmallows shaped into chicks and coloured.
Marshmallows are just “Sugar and Oil”. I’m sure they don’t add oil to Pepsi, the whole, water and oil not mixing trope.
So what is Peepsi? It has to be just an extra sweet version of Pepsi. So, I imagine you can make your own Peepsi by adding extra sugar to an existing can of Pepsi.
@mehcuda67
That would’ve been Mt Dew, but it’s not in there any more.
They also changed the 2nd ingredient from "orange juice reconstituted from orange juice concentrate " to "concentrated orange juice ".
Still good though!
@Kyeh@mehcuda67@PhysAssist@unksol I read that headline 3 times on autopilot before I stopped and consciously read it
“Scientists fingering eagles”, wait no,
“Scientist’s finger causes mass eagle death” uhhh
“Scientists finger after causing more than 2 decades of mass eagle deaths” …not better, wake up!
Lol I was trying to find a legit publisher and not paying attention to the headline.
Long story short there is a bacteria that only likes to live on an invasive aquatic plant in the south. When exposed to bromine via pesticides to control the invasive plant. Or just nature. It secretes a nerotoxic.
Varmints eat plants. No one cares if a mouse dies. Eagles dying gets noticed. They eat them varmints.
TL:DR Vultures were poisoned by humans inadvertently through an unusual medium, with their decline leading to increasing human diseases being spread by other scavengers.
@Kyeh@mehcuda67@PhysAssist I mean if humans hadn’t brought the invasive plant and bacteria… Just meant pepsi was not related l lol. Unless you’re watering your invasive bacteria with pepsi. Eagles are still doing well
My wife hit me with a “would you rather” this morning. The Sour Patch Kids white chocolate bunny (yeah…) and this. It almost broke me. Pretty sure I’m on team (throws up a little) Peepsi, but it’s a real Morton’s Fork.
@mschuette yeah, fuck the peepsi,
but I’d be all over that rabbit…
dang, i was just in a target today… didn’t see that…gonna have to look around now that i know it’s a thing!
So an article that my phone decided to present me with a headline for today was “Has anyone checked on Pepsi?” with a photo of what I agree should be named Peepsi.
Am I the only one that thinks peeps taste like sugar covered cardboard? I really tried to picture what this drink would taste like and I’m perplexed. I hope someone tries it and reports back.
Well, this product started with the knowledge that its target demographic was people who say “I want a latte” and head for a 7-Eleven. (Or, alternately, people who walk into a 7-Eleven wondering what to get, and think they’re too old for a Slurpee.)
@AbdiViklas I mean true. I’m not ever putting sugar in my coffee. Gross. Never mind sugar in a disgusting form. If I want to watch one die maybe hot cocoa
@mike808@mitzoe@sammydog01 I too am a peeps purist, we need to unite! I will sometimes bow down and accept the bunnys, not just the chicks, but anything else is going too far
@mike808@mitzoe@tightwad I’ll eat the bunnies if I have to but they’re just too flat. And blue and purple chicks if really necessary. But the flavored ones? That’s just wrong.
@heartny For some reason this sentence just makes me want to “talk in Peep” all day. “Can I get it with extra Peepseroni? And better stock up on Peepto Bismol…”
Bacon wrapped peeps
After an initial wave of revulsion, this is strangely intriguing to me.
There are also chocolate dipped bacon peeps. My curiosity is definitely peeped.
And then we have a new fashion trend. Perhaps you call this a “to go snack”? Or maybe wear this when playing strip poker? Or when you are a stripper? Then you strip one peek peep at a time?
@Kidsandliz If it didn’t have the Hallmark Channel logo and “Home & Family” at the bottom, I’d assume it’s to be worn with edible underwear. Although I did read in Lee Francis’ autobiography about a whorehouse were a girl would be dipped in chocolate and then customers would lick it off of her, so maybe it’s something like that.
I thought it was way too early for vomit but turns out, nah…
@Targaryen It’s never too early for vomit. Ask any woman who has ever had morning sickness.
Why didn’t they call it Peepsi for this promotion?
I have to win it? NOOOOOO I WANT SOME.
@sammydog01 Looks like that’s only the “Epic Collector” packages.
Peeps are just stale Marshmallows shaped into chicks and coloured.
Marshmallows are just “Sugar and Oil”. I’m sure they don’t add oil to Pepsi, the whole, water and oil not mixing trope.

@OnionSoup This is why we need a downvote feature. #TEAMPEEPS
@OnionSoup @sammydog01 At least one soda I can remember had brominated vegetable oil in it. One of the reasons I stopped drinking soda a long time ago.
@mehcuda67
That would’ve been Mt Dew, but it’s not in there any more.
They also changed the 2nd ingredient from "orange juice reconstituted from orange juice concentrate " to "concentrated orange juice ".
Still good though!
@mehcuda67 @PhysAssist
Why would it have brominated vegetable oil in it? (And what’s “brominated” anyway?)
@Kyeh @mehcuda67 @PhysAssist how do you think bros get it in???
But for a dose of meh reality.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/bvo/faq-20058236
Completely and totally unrelated but also weirdly related to bromine this week.
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/03/after-more-2-decades-searching-scientists-finger-cause-mass-eagle-deaths
Can’t stress enough nothing to do with each other just first time I’ve seen any one mentioning bromine lol
@mehcuda67 @PhysAssist @unksol
unksol - thanks! And that IS a strange coincidence.
@Kyeh @mehcuda67 @PhysAssist @unksol I read that headline 3 times on autopilot before I stopped and consciously read it

Not an issue, dont start a bromine conspiracy.
@Kyeh @mehcuda67 IDK why they ever had it in there, and while they did, I was too young and st-st-stoopid to care…
@Kyeh @mehcuda67 @unksol It truly is, but it also reminded me of another such a series of events:
https://india.mongabay.com/2018/02/declining-vulture-population-can-cause-a-health-crisis/
https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2020/oct/14/not-just-a-dog-bite-why-india-is-struggling-to-keep-rabies-at-bay

@Kyeh @PhysAssist @unksol My takeaway was that Hydrilla verticillata is an ill-eagle alien plant species.
@mehcuda67 @PhysAssist @unksol
Ooo, very good.
@mehcuda67 @PhysAssist I don’t recall Mt Dew having it, but most of the knockoffs do/did.
My wife hit me with a “would you rather” this morning. The Sour Patch Kids white chocolate bunny (yeah…) and this. It almost broke me. Pretty sure I’m on team (throws up a little) Peepsi, but it’s a real Morton’s Fork.
@mschuette
I’d be forced to agree despite my loathing for all things marshmallow…
@mschuette yeah, fuck the peepsi,
but I’d be all over that rabbit…
dang, i was just in a target today… didn’t see that…gonna have to look around now that i know it’s a thing!
@earlyre @mschuette Every day we stray further from God’s light.
So an article that my phone decided to present me with a headline for today was “Has anyone checked on Pepsi?” with a photo of what I agree should be named Peepsi.
So will this be for sale, or only through the contest? The contest rules & entry link in the PR is a 404 …
The optimist side of me is hoping this is just an early April Fools joke.
I think the packaging is super cute, but I DO NOT want to try it
Coke. New coke
Pepsi. Hold my beer
If you like peeps. I guess do you. Don’t get them near me
And now there’s this too: https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/7-eleven-peeps-marshmallow-flavored-latte
@Kyeh why… Just… Come on. I was eating
@Kyeh @unksol I am curious but yellow?
@mehcuda67 @unksol Like the original Peeps, I guess. It looks pretty weird to me.
@Kyeh @mehcuda67 they might be finally realizing how bad their product is. They need some press for easter but a cup of bright yellow piss… Maybe don’t
@mehcuda67 @unksol
Am I the only one that thinks peeps taste like sugar covered cardboard? I really tried to picture what this drink would taste like and I’m perplexed. I hope someone tries it and reports back.
@mandirose Here’s a review - he says “marshmallow cola tastes like liquid sugar”:
https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/peeps-pepsi-marshmallow-flavor-taste-test
@mandirose No you are not the only one who thinks they are disgusting. I hated them as a kid too.
@Kidsandliz @mandirose
I don’t hate them but I can think of
a lot of better ways to consume excess sugar.
@Kyeh @mandirose yes. Good Chocolate or good ice cream for starters!!
@Kidsandliz @mandirose I STiLL hates 'em…

@mike808 I want these so bad.
@mike808 @mitzoe They had them at Target. I’m a Peeps purist though.
@mike808 SWMBO had and liked them- yucko
@mike808 @mitzoe @sammydog01 I too am a peeps purist, we need to unite! I will sometimes bow down and accept the bunnys, not just the chicks, but anything else is going too far
@mike808 @mitzoe @tightwad I’ll eat the bunnies if I have to but they’re just too flat. And blue and purple chicks if really necessary. But the flavored ones? That’s just wrong.
And don’t forget to enjoy some peepza with your Peepsi.
@heartny For some reason this sentence just makes me want to “talk in Peep” all day. “Can I get it with extra Peepseroni? And better stock up on Peepto Bismol…”
@AbdiViklas @heartny Talk Like a Peeprate Day.
@heartny If you’re feeling more Southwest, you can go for some …
/image peeps nachos
@mike808 Or maybe some Peepshi (Peeps and sushi)
@heartny @mike808 if peeps weren’t gross, that peepshi might be decent.
@heartny @mike808 @RiotDemon That’s an awfully big If.
Found this burrito in a moment of sick curiosity.
Bacon wrapped peeps
After an initial wave of revulsion, this is strangely intriguing to me.
There are also chocolate dipped bacon peeps. My curiosity is definitely peeped.
@mehcuda67 Yeah, I’d try those! Bacon-wrapped dates are fantastic.
Vodka ala Peep lemon drop
I would definitely give this a shot with some friends.
And then we have a new fashion trend. Perhaps you call this a “to go snack”? Or maybe wear this when playing strip poker? Or when you are a stripper? Then you strip one
peekpeep at a time?@Kidsandliz I imagine sitting in that dress would be awkward, or squishy at the very least. I’d hate to drive with that on.
@Kidsandliz If it didn’t have the Hallmark Channel logo and “Home & Family” at the bottom, I’d assume it’s to be worn with edible underwear. Although I did read in Lee Francis’ autobiography about a whorehouse were a girl would be dipped in chocolate and then customers would lick it off of her, so maybe it’s something like that.
@mossygreen Well I’d imagine a non-halmark G rated family use of this edible dress you’d probably go without underwear…
@Kidsandliz It could be a variation on serving food on naked people at parties.
