Pods Actually Filled with Delicious Peanut Butter

Somewhere in the Belt - August 7

JOURNALISTS from the WSN network investigating the mysterious pods which have been sighted in the Belt have made an amazing discovery! These pods, which may seem sinister to some, are actually the Solar System's biggest publicity stunt. Yes, these pods (pictured below) are actually asteriod mock-ups filled with delicious peanut butter for the lucky spacefarers that run across them!

Rather than being afraid, those who see them should rejoice, because they have won the big prize: a lifetime supply of Jiffy Capricorn peanut butter! To advertise their newest service, the Jiffy Capricorn corporation (recently created from a merger of post-bankruptcy Max Capricorn Cruise Lines and Jiffy Amalgamated Foods and Weapons) commissioned their zero-gee manufactories to produce these fantastic space confections. They hope to promote their new full-service retro "baseball" fantasy ships, where they say customers can live like the "baseball players" of Earth once did. This includes full one-gee gravity, games of "baseball" and fancy Earth-style foods such as what they describe as "peanut butter and jelly sandwiches," whatever those may be. The result is that anyone who finds a peanut butter pod gets to keep it and go to Jiffy capricorn baseball camp! As the JC corp. representatives say, "It's peanut butter jelly time! With a baseball bat!"
