I am forever indebted to my sugar buddy, @periwinkle

Pepsin is an enzyme produced by the stomach that aids in protein digestion. Originally (heard from my biology / anatomy teacher, but I've found articles online saying this is untrue?), Pepsi was marketed to help digestion, and actually included pepsin (hence the name). While it was effective in promoting digestion, pepsin, a stomach enzyme, was not meant for the mouth, and the ingredient was removed after complications arose.

I'm looking up this issue now, actually, and many sites say pepsin was never included in the ingredients of Pepsi. (Honestly, I have no idea, just repeating an interesting story I heard from a teacher.)

(Also, I thought it would be cute if I had two polar bears with soft drink-related names (see Coke)

About Deton Eggs

This egg was only available in Egg Cave's Cash Shop Park for Independence Day 2015 (July 4) through July 11.

This egg... is like a sparkler!? Careful not to get burned!

About the Deton Creature

The Deton is a very friendly bear that enjoys the company of humans. Parts of their body like the ears, forepaws, and tail emit a flame that's much like a sparkler. Naturally, they are the perfect creature to invite during celebrations.

When a Deton is hungry, their sparkler flames begin to go out. After they are well-nourished though, their sparkler flames are very strong. It's a good indicator of how well a Deton is feeling, so pay attention!
