    I also have a plant with seemingly the exact same pale yellow, bell shaped peppers. It was supposed to be a habanero pepper plant. There are a couple varieties I have found online that look like this. They all are supposed to ripen into red bell peppers. Mine have pretty much no flavor at all in the yellow stage.

    But I don’t know for sure which type I have, or which type you have. What did you think you planted there?

    Looks like something in the bellpepper or banana pepper family. Just kinda pale.

    I’m just impressed that you still have a floppy disk at all much less handy for measuring.

    There are pale and white bell peppers. The size/shape makes me think this one is a bell.

  5. ProvocatOG

    I think it is a Hungarian Wax or Bell Pepper.

    I don’t know what type of pepper, but unfortunately I do know what the other thing is.

    Looks like a gypsy pepper. I have a plant right now. Not sure how to use them so I sub them for bell peppers

    I have Peppers like this, the packet said Gypsy Hybrid Peppers

    Bro really put a floppy disk for size comparison

  10. Remarkable_Inchworm

    I think the problem is that your pepper seems to be stuck in 1996.

    You have a bona fide vintage 3.5″ floppy disc circa 1990 there. Unfortunately, half of reddit probably hasn’t even held one of these in person, so tricky to use for scale.

  12. Never_Really_Right

    It’s a time traveling pepper from the 1990s. Let us know if it’s tasty.

    Something similar to Hungarian wax, but the shape is not the exact same. It is good for stuffed pepper.

  14. MrFurleysJumpsuit

    What is the thing on the right? Jk.

    I planted white bell peppers last year it looks to be one of those.

    That type is best for making “stuffed paprika”. Minced meat, with a bit of rice stuffed in paprika cooked in rich tomato sauce (not ketschap).

    Also used for salad, and many other dishes.

    Not sure about the blue one, but the other one is a Hungarian (Gypsy) – no doubt.

    Slice the top and bottom off ( like ~ 4mm – 1/4in )Take out the seeds (keep those for next year)Cook some dessert rice – Risotto works or traditional rice will do tooIn a bowl combine ground veal & rice ( ~50/50)Add egg yolk, pepper, nutmeg, dried parsley and sweet paprika powder.Mix by hand.Fill the paprika – over the rim (1.5cm – 1/2 inch) put top of paprika on top( The cut off bottom goes into compost pile, it is cut off for 2 reasons:1/ Drain juices out of the meat2/ Stable footing so the don’t tumble over while cooking)

    Put in oven (or BBQ) for ~40min 180C / ~360F – on the lower tray

    Indulge in warm (creamy) tomato sauce – ENJOY.

    I have a Romanian Sweet Pepper that looks like this.

    There was always something super satisfying about pushing a floppy disc in.

  20. DJShredNasty

    Forget the peppers ,where the heck did you find a floppy disc lol

  21. Tacticalsandwich7

    3.5โ€ or 5.25โ€ floppy?

  22. This almost looks like a 1990s floppy disk! How did that grow?

  23. Save icon for scale! Haha. Thatโ€™s better than what I was going to type.

  24. sweetpotaytoo

    Floppy disk for scale ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  25. cardshark3740

    Really showing your age with that flippy floppy disk there

  26. Mayor__Defacto

    Thatโ€™s a 3.5โ€ floppy disk, not a save icon.. lol. Looks like a banana pepper maybe.

  27. OstrichIllustrious10

    The floppy disk was definitely more exciting to see then the pepper ๐Ÿ˜†

    “Save icon”

    I’m taking that personally. I’ve been assaulted on reddit. How dare you. Back in my day I had to walk uphill in the snow with no feet to save my files for school on one of those.

  29. seniairam

    save icon for scale? whaaaat?๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ dang I’m old๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

  30. sasha7777

    Banana pepper or Hungarian wax would be my guess

  31. 9-lives-Fritz

    You didnโ€™t grow a banana for scale?

  32. unicorn8dragon

    I havenโ€™t seen a save icon in the wild for many years now.

  33. Acceptable-Pudding41

    I don’t know what your pepper is, but I belly laughed at your “save icon.” And then felt really old.

  34. tenshii326

    The real question is where did you get that floppy disk from?

  35. Chasing_Lisa

    Did your Gen Z ass say “save icon”??? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

  36. pearlgirl11

    Save icon ๐Ÿ˜†
