Viral Image of “Candy Corn Dr Pepper” Confirmed as AI-Generated Hoax

A viral image of a supposed “Candy Corn Dr Pepper” flavor has been confirmed as fake, with the product revealed to be a creation of artificial intelligence.

The image was generated by BRAIN DAMAGE STUDIOS (BDS), a page known for designing humorous and unusual AI-generated products.

The creators of BDS clarify their intent on the page, describing it as a platform for humor and parody, with no actual products for sale. “All products here are jokes,” the page states, adding, “I’m not connected to any company or sponsor. Nothing here should be taken seriously. Enjoy!”

Despite its popularity, the candy corn-inspired Dr Pepper image has no basis in reality, serving instead as a reminder to verify unusual online claims.

As AI-generated content continues to blur the line between fiction and reality, social media users are encouraged to exercise caution with eye-catching “new” products that may, in fact, just be clever digital pranks.
