Quote of the Week


This place is full of fake smiles; friends here are merely enemies without opportunity.


Gross: A Closer Look



The label Gross Foods may be misleading. Many of these foods will not gross out many Neopians. There are other foods that are on the same level or worse than many Gross Foods. Parts on a Pizza, for example, is much grosser than a Chocolate Duck Rump but perhaps on the same level as a Brain Kebab, and that is a Spooky Food. Here is my take on Gross Foods...

Your Bag of Tricks



Ah, April Fool’s Day. One of the best holidays by far. This day is a day cherished by mischievous Neopets all over Neopia.
