Every day for the last week or so, Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has been posting a ‘non-spoliery’ teaser from the upcoming 1.6Stardew Valleyupdate due on March 19. The latest of these sneak peaks, posted on March 17, has me feeling confused. And concerned.

Yes, that’s right. Players of Stardew Valleycan now partake in a lovely, thirst quenching drink of… mayonnaise.
Now, I’m not sure about you but I’ve never once thought “I love this game, but do you know what would make it better? A lovely cold glass of mayonnaise”, but apparently there are some players who, for reasons I cannot fathom, are actually excited by this prospect.
With comments stating everything from “the moment we’ve been waiting for” to “does this mean I can drink Pickle Juice now too?”, I have some questions that I don’t particularly want answers for.
Prior to this Tweet appearing, players were growing concerned due to the lack of updates, prompting them to ask ConcernedApe if he’d forgotten to post, or even if he was okay. Overall, yesterday was a pretty strange day on Twitter forStardew Valleyfans.
What changed, ConcernedApe?
Back in 2021, ConcernedApe replied to a Tweet saying the following which, in light of this most recent 1.6 reveal, has me wondering what happened between then and now to get us to this point:
I like pickles, but mayo… I plead the 5th. but if I remember right, the real reason you can’t eat them in the game is because they are in a glass jar and I didn’t want to have to draw a special animation for fishing out the pickles, and no way would I allow drinking mayonnaise.
Well, regardless of how bizarre this latest update is, we’ve got one more sneak peak of 1.6 before it goes live at some time on March 19. Here’s the full list of teasers to date:
