April Fool's Day 2021: Peeps 'launches' cauliflower flavor
Fox News
The Easter candy creator teamed up with Green Giant to announce a fake vegetable-forward confectionary collaboration — Cauliflower-flavored Peeps — ahead of the holiday on Sunday.
The cauliflower flavor is described as "subtle and derived from Green Giant Riced Veggies Cauliflower," according to a company statement about the April Fool's treat. The inspiration, it seems, came after the veggie has become the go-to, better-for-you substitute in for supermarket staples like pizza, rice, mashed potatoes and more. "The cauliflower trend is hard to miss — these days we see it being used in everything from pizza crusts to tots and beyond," said Caitlin Servian, Peeps brand manager. "We thought it was time for Peeps® to get in on the fun."
