Now Peeps Oreos Are Turning People’s Poop Pink
When Oreo debuted its Peeps flavor recently, people had mild complaints about the cookie turning their tongues and saliva pink.
Whatever. Slurpees do that all that time and it’s not a big deal.
There are new complaints about the Oreo, though, as people are now saying it’s turning their poop as pink as Jigglypuff’s belly.

The pink cream inside the Oreo contains a dye called FD&C Red No. 3, and apparently doesn’t break down during digestion according to Live Science. That could be the main reason why it comes out the backdoor looking like Kirby.
A lot of us in the Foodbeast office got down on these Oreos and didn’t notice such side effects, but then again, no one ate a whole pack’s worth:
My roommate ate a whole pack of oreo Peeps and left a pink stain in the toilet.

Even Charmin toilet paper brilliantly chimed in on the Peeps Oreos, offering discreet help to its victims:
We hear that #pinkpoop is now a thing. If it hits, don’t worry, no one will hear a peep from us. https://t.co/MFKV7qby0p

While it’s a strange side effect, at least no one’s getting sick. Still, get your shit together, Oreo.
