So... yeah. 

Some people have said that the cookies turned their No. 2 a lovely shade of pink.

And the same goes for some people's saliva.

Like, it's not subtle.

Interestingly enough, some people have said that they've gone out and bought the Peeps Oreos after hearing reports of the alleged pinkification.

The promise of potential pink poop is a big selling point, evidently. 

After The Huffington Post published an article about people's experience with the Peeps Oreos, an Oreo spokeswoman reached out to the site to explain the side effects.

"The Oreo Peep limited-edition

sandwich cookies contain a bright pink food coloring, FD&C Red Number 3," the spokeswoman wrote. "We use this ingredient in the product consistent with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations.

"Certain foods can temporarily color the tongue and inside of the mouth," she continued. "This is common with brightly colored products such as ice pops, gelatins and drink mixes, as well

as with certain fruits and vegetables, including beets and cranberries. Such foods can also temporarily color stool."

This has been a public service announcement.
