Peeps-Flavored Pepsi Is Now Something That Exists

Just because two things taste good separately doesn’t mean they’re going to taste good together.  But, um, maybe this won’t be bad?

Pepsi and Peeps just announced that they’ve teamed up to make a new soda for Easter.  And it’s Pepsi . . . but with a Peeps marshmallow flavor added in.

It comes in a three-pack of cans that are yellow, pink, and blue.

The Peeps Pepsi won’t be going on sale in stores . . . if you want it, you’ll need to enter a contest on Twitter or Instagram.

You’re supposed to take a picture of yourself doing, quote, “your favorite springtime activities in a safe, socially distant manner” and then tag @Pepsi and use the hashtags #HangingWithMyPEEPS and #PepsiSweepstakes.

The entries are due next Wednesday.  They’re going to give away a total of 3,170 three-packs according to the fine print, so you might have decent odds of winning one.

(Here’s a picture.)

Weezer with strings attached

Weezer are bringing in a full orchestra to play OK Human live for the first time for a live stream event on April 16th (8P Central).

Weezer’s second album of 2021, Van Weezer, will be released on May 7.

Four more new albums and a movie musical are also in the works for 2021.

Say it Ain’t So … Is Netflix Bailing on “Binging”?

 Netflix reinvented TV . . . not just through streaming, but BINGING.  They started the idea of releasing an entire season of a show at once, so you didn’t have to wait a week between each installment.

Well, now they’re experimenting with a more gradual roll-out.

Netflix announced that the second seasons of the unscripted shows “The Circle” and “Too Hot to Handle” will premiere in April and June, respectively.

When “The Circle” first premieres on April 14th, there will only be four episodes . . . with additional batches coming on April 21st, April 28th, and May 5th.  “Too Hot to Handle” will follow a similar pattern, but the exact dates haven’t been announced.

(Maybe because it would be too hot to handle it all at once?  HI-YO!)

In a blog post, Netflix said, quote, “We’re experimenting with the release format so you have time to dissect and dish on every step of the competition as it unfolds.”

(I’m not sure how much “dissecting” is necessary for reality shows, and Netflix didn’t hint at what they may be trying to accomplish.  But it’s hard to believe that they’re actually moving away from binging altogether.)

Guy finds shrimp tails in his Cinnamon Toast Crunch

“There are all kinds of shrimp. Fried shrimp, shrimp scampi, shrimp cocktail, diablo shrimp, cinnamon toast crunch shrimp…”  -Bubba Gump, probably

 

Cinnamon Toast…..SHRIMP?!?  At some point in your life its inevitable, you will find something gross in your food.  But will it be as gross as what Jensen Karp found at the bottom of his box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

&nbsp

GROSS, right?  Actually….am I the only person who thinks that sounds sort of good?  The answer is apparently no!

 

Follow along with this crazy tail (see what i did there?) and all its twists and turns HERE.  What’s the worst thing you’ve found in your food?

Drone Flies Through Erupting Icelandic Volcano … and it’s Magical!

Lava is pretty awesome!  If you have been up on current affairs you know that Iceland is having some fun volcano eruptions.

Bjorn Steinbekk has the YouTube channel ‘A guy with a drone’ and he took his drone to the Fagradalsfjall volcano to film. The footage is amazing. These clips are very short. Just a few seconds each. But seeing an actual drone fly through an erupting volcano is simply mind-blowing. In the first clip, he flies through the erupting lava and in the second clip he goes ‘lava surfing’.

I could watch this all day.

Suburban Women Are Washing Their Hair in Toilets

We’ve officially been stuck inside for too long. The world of beauty care on TikTok is becoming a dangerous place and these suburban women are guilty of doing the absurd. Watch this video of a woman washing her hair in a toilet.

At some point, somewhere in time, we took a wrong step. We don’t know how we got here, but we’re ready for our mom to pick us up and take us home. This reality is scary and we don’t like it here. This video is a step too far into a reality that we’re very uncomfortable with.

What Do Your Favorite Quarterbacks Look Like as Women?

In the midst of viewing grittiness on the gridiron, we’ve all likely thought to ourselves “hm, what would these big, burley men look like as soft, beautiful women?” Thanks to some incredibly bored and incredibly crafty people, the Internet can finally answer that question. Here’s just a few of our favorite results:

What Keeps You Up at Night?

We all sleep, but for some the process comes easier than others. A recent study analyzed 1,000 Americans and 86% of them noted that they had trouble sleeping at least once a week. The number one cause of these sleep issues is money, which has likely been aggravated during the pandemic.

What’s the Worst Date You’ve Ever Been On?

For this story, we’re going to ignore the obvious issue with a grown man going on a date with an underage girl. It’s wrong, it’s gross, and there’s no point in discussing it. What is important, though, is the substance of their date. This story starts out weird and gets totally wild by the end.
