Neopets foods might as well be the product of artificial intelligence

Remember Neopets? It’s an online game where you can raise virtual pets that can grow, train, and battle one another in a virtual arena.

Although I’ve never played it, people keep mentioning Neopets to me because apparently Neopets has very weird foods. I found a list of them at JellyNeo’s and oh wow, yeah. They look like they came straight from a neural net.

Thanks to a list of 2,500 names provided by Nyssa Busko and May, I was able to see what an actual neural net program would make of these. I fed all these foods into textgenrnn, and waited to see what kind of imitation it would produce.

Turns out it loved them. It generated foods that were both exceedingly weird and entirely Neopets plausible.

Cheesy apple

Orangeberry cookies

Pink sundae

Rainbow salad

Baby sandwich

Space cone

Squid cheese cone

Butter sandwich

Moon sandwich

Strawberry sand crisps

Striped carrot cookie

Strawberry covered crisps

Green coffee

Bacon bread

Spiral soup

Pizza apple

Strawberry hot chips

Spicy ice cream cereal

Some of them were weird even for Neopets foods, though. I tried my best to illustrate these, but I’m not sure if I even got close.



Terror negg

Chocolate milk sandwich

Chocolate dog

Soysaus cookies

Water sandwich

Starless sandwich

Purple cheese flam toast

Green sliceball sundae

Spaghetti burger flower

Candy fried cheese barge

Battle cupcakes negg

And some of these I don’t know what they are, and most of them I don’t WANT to know what they are. I illustrated the ones I could.

Slum floss

Left soup

Fancy stink

Boron cheese core

Bloody sandwich

Hollow cone

Meta pizza

Chicken sought

Sparklogg

Flosh cake

Potato day merry sandwich

Bam steak people cake

Spicy tea shaped and chocolate fount scorf long

Since many of the first users of Neopets are now old enough to drink (it’s been around since the late 1990s), I thought I’d see what happened if I combined Neopets foods and craft beers. Want to read the results (and optionally get bonus material every time I post)?
