<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
UPDATE:<\/strong> Apparently, if you look at the boxes the Mystery Peeps come packed in on store shelves, they’ll tell you what the flavors are. If you want spoilers, <\/a>here <\/a>you <\/a>go (in no particular order).<\/p>\n In college, I studied Early Modern English, which includes the language of the King James Bible. When I read the Old Testament passage that talks about \u201cwizards that peep, and that mutter,\u201d I imagined something like chicks with pointed hats casting spells in a dungeon somewhere.<\/p>\n The Peeping wizards at Just Born have once again conjured up three mystery flavors of Peeps Marshmallows just in time for Easter. All three flavors are as white as Dumbledore\u2019s beard, so there\u2019s no way to tell them apart from each other, other than the packaging. <\/p>\n The first flavor is familiar, and after a few seconds of chewing, it is obvious: root beer. I\u2019m 90 percent confident on this. It could also be wintergreen since that\u2019s a similar flavor, but root beer seems more likely. It\u2019s not as strongly flavored as, say, a root beer barrel hard candy, but it\u2019s decent. There\u2019s a little whiff of sassafras in the package.<\/p>\n The second flavor…I\u2019m not so sure about. It has citric acid in the ingredients list, which is not in flavor 1. I want to say it tastes like purple conversation hearts, so grape, but it also tastes like the smell of lemon Lysol. Given my guesses of flavors 1 and 3, I\u2019m going to guess, with 60 percent confidence, they were going for a soda theme and made this lemon-lime (aka Sprite). It\u2019s OK. <\/p>\n The third flavor is different from the other two, as far as ingredients go. It has fumaric acid (whatever that is) and pectin, and citric acid is higher in the ingredients label than in flavor 2. As a result, it has a slightly spongier texture and a slightly lower sugar content. This one is by far the most fragrant of the three, with a strong scent infiltrating my nostrils. <\/p>\n While I\u2019m eating the marshmallow, I really can\u2019t place the flavor. I know I\u2019ve had it somewhere, but all I can taste is a summer day at the amusement park. Minutes after I have swallowed, the residual flavor tastes like Dr Pepper. Even though Dr Pepper is what I taste eventually, it\u2019s not what I taste while the Peep is actually in my mouth, so I\u2019m not sure. My guess is cherry cola, but I\u2019m only 50 percent confident. I\u2019m 30 percent confident on Dr Pepper (or whatever they call it to avoid trademark issues), and I\u2019m 20 percent clueless.<\/p>\n All of them are pleasant enough flavors and a nice change from the original, but I doubt I would buy them if they made them regular flavors. They\u2019re not very memorable. Flavor 1 is the best of the three. My final verdict on the flavors: root beer, lemon-lime soda, and cherry cola.<\/p>\n But guessing was harder than I expected. If I get them wrong, will the Peeping wizards revoke my reviewer\u2019s license? <\/p>\n And when I told my dad I was reviewing mystery-flavored Peeps, he thought I said Listerine-flavored.
