I read this as “Newton Pippin” and thought this was about old Apple computers

Newton was a PDA and Pippin was a game console!

Yeah I saw that haha. I honestly can't remember the pippin well enough to confirm. Some claim they fell by the wayside for their mediocre taste (which brings up the question of whether they once tasted better), and some say it was aesthetic due to the russeting (browning) of skin at the stem.
