# Taste The Peaness
Taste The Peaness is a photoshopped frozen peas bag where the pods form a crude anatomical shape under the pun tagline 'taste the peaness.' The edit first surfaced in a May 2016 eBaum's World meme dump and spent years circulating as shock-reaction bait in image macros. By late 2021, Facebook pages were pasting Baby Yoda's wide-eyed face beside the bag for posts that collected tens of thousands of shares.
## Origin
On May 9, 2016, user JBleep posted a 'SAVAGE AF MONDAY MEMES' gallery to eBaum's World in which the 13th image was the doctored frozen peas bag[1]. The photoshop appears to be an edit of a real product, since a 2008 Fashion Herald post shows a bag of peas with the same swirl pattern and typography the edit modifies[5]. No individual artist has been identified as the author of the composite, and KYM lists the creator as unknown[4].

## Overview
Most posts use Taste The Peaness as the second panel of a shock-reaction setup, where a character from another franchise or a stock confused face reacts to the bag's absurd pun[1]. The joke lives on a double take, a mundane supermarket product retooled into something lewd, with the fake slogan appearing in cropped close-ups so the pun lands before the viewer registers what the pod is shaped like[2].
Fans often tie the edit to a 1994 episode of the animated sitcom The Critic, titled 'Eyes on the Prize,' featuring a fake Rosebud Frozen Peas commercial voiced by Maurice LaMarche doing Orson Welles, where the tagline 'full of country goodness and green peaness' appears verbatim[3]. Whether the original photoshopper lifted the gag from that bit or arrived at the pun independently is unclear, but the Critic clip routinely surfaces in replies as the alleged inspiration[4].
