Need a quick sugar rush and live in the Midwest? You might want to check your grocery store to see if Peeps-flavored milk is in the dairy section. Yes, milk that is flavored like Peeps is now a thing.
Peeps teamed up with Prairie Farms to produce a line of milk that tastes like the little marshmallow ducks. There are three flavors - Marshmallow Milk, Chocolate Marshmallow Milk and Easter Egg Nog.
“The Peeps Milk carton graphics will stand apart from other products in the dairy case. They are colorful and playful and feature the beloved Peeps shapes along with fun recipes on the side panels,” Rebecca Leinenbach, Prairie Farms Vice President of Marketing and Communications, said in a statement.
While the product was officially announced today, KSDK in St. Louis reports that it is already showing up in stores in the region. One of their producers, Cassidy Moody, bought a Chocolate Marshmallow Milk carton and wrote on Twitter that it actually tasted “pretty good.”
Moody also took a picture of the Nutrition Facts label and it will probably cause some shock to anyone considering trying the milk. A cup of it has 37 grams of sugar, three times as much as in refular Prairie Farms whole milk. That’s also just two grams shy of what’s in a 12 oz. bottle of Coke. But hey, at least there’s eight grams of protein.
