Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter | comment |
The Give Yourself Goosebumps book where you end up consuming mutagenic food that either shrinks or enlarges you.You're staying at your aunt's house when your parents goes on a trip to Europe, as much as you hate it. Because your cousins are making life hell during your stay — your older cousin Barney is a bully waiting to beat you up, while your younger cousin Dora keeps dragging you to play with her dolls. And your aunt, for some reason, insists that you say out from the basement.So, avoiding Barney who intends to beat you to a pulp, you enter the basement and come across a fridge containing two items — a chocolate cake, and a jar of peanut butter. And then you realize you're quite hungry...Beware your choice of snack — the eponymous peanut butter will make you shrink and be left at the mercy of rodents, lizards and Dora's hungry cat Puff, while the cake will enlarge you instead, which, while initially sounding ideal, will result in government agents and the local military mistaking you as a monster... | |

The Bully | |
Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter / int_1b60dcba | comment |
The Bully: Your cousin Barney simply loves beating you up. Even in front of the neighbourhood kids, your aunt, your other cousin Dora... one of the first things he did is to strong-arm you into a game of Hide-and Seek where "if he finds you, he gets to pummel you". | |

Intercontinuity Crossover: While seeking for a way to reverse the peanut butter's shrinking effects, you can come across the titular object from Monster Blood. As always, you're expected to know the effects of consuming Monster Blood from reading that other book. | |

Lemony Narrator | |
Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter / int_6d57a234 | comment |
Lemony Narrator: Granted, it's a GYG book, but the narrator of this issue is noticeably a bigger Deadpan Snarker than usual, from taunting the reader for choosing to obey their aunt's wishes to stay out the basement, to calling the reader a wimp for making wrong choices. | |

Rodents of Unusual Size | |
Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter / int_7131e4c9 | comment |
Rodents of Unusual Size: Subverted in the shrinking storyline. The rodent is regular-sized, but you've been shrunken by the peanut butter until you're smaller than your thumb. So from your perspective, you're fighting a giant rodent. | |

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever | |
Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter / int_7ccd3698 | comment |
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: In contrast to the titular peanut butter, eating the other food item, a stale chocolate cake (which might be laced with a certain green substance) makes the reader gigantic as opposed to tiny. Exaggerated in one bad ending; you end up growing so insanely huge that your head reaches the stratosphere, and you suffocate in the depths of outer space! | |

Down the Drain: After shrinking from eating the peanut butter, one of the outcomes have you being flushed into a sink by Dora, and you'll need to travel through the drain pipes and find a way out. | |

Absent-Minded Professor | |
Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter / int_938e9bc0 | comment |
Absent-Minded Professor: It turns out the peanut butter and chocolate cake are injected with an experimental serum from the local professor, Dr. Abbott, who have zero knowledge of reversing the effects. Seeking the doctor's help will either have you turning into a living magnet, shrinking until you disintegrate, the doctor shrinking himself, or in one ending, the two of you swapping bodies. | |

Shout-Out | |
Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The book references Alice in Wonderland by the title at several points. Notably, you wonder if consuming the other food (chocolate cake or peanut butter?) could reverse the shrinking or growing effects, like what Alice did in her story. The scene under Living Toys is a nod to the then one-year-old movie Toy Story. | |

Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter / int_e70c45f0 | comment |
All Animals Are Dogs: While shrunken, you can actually tame a giant-sized (from your perspective anyway) lizard by rubbing its belly. Said lizard even licks your hand like a puppy would, and in the good ending where you restore yourself to normal, you feed that lizard some crumbs from the chocolate cake and gain an obediant giant lizard as a pet! | |

The Dog Bites Back: Your cousin Barney delights in bullying you for no reason at all, but there are occasions in the first storyline where you gain extreme strength from eating the cake and get to pummel him back. As well as one ending in the shrinking storyline with you being restored to human size with a dinosaur-sized lizard as a bodyguard. | |
