Since the popular thread from 2011 has gone to hell with outdated images, false page redirections and 4 blank pages of deleted posts, I think it's time to start anew for the 2012 community.

I'll start out by posting some strange (but real) sodas I found on Google. You can be the ones to determine whether or not you'd ever try any of them.

The label on the last one is real, but the flavor is fake. You'll have to learn the Jones way of doing things.

Chips are another favorite when it comes to bizarre flavors.

^ Those BLT chips are actually not too bad.

And, of course, the Canadian classic...

If you know of any strange flavors or you just happen to find some online, post them here. Pictures are always appreciated.

What makes ice cream Pepsi different from regular vanilla Pepsi?

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfaktbPsYN1qd8ffz.jpg

Who here would try this, and eat the whole thing?


A couple bites would be alright, but the whole thing might be too much. I will agree with the popular consensus that it looks a lot better than spaghetti and cheese ice cream and it sounds better than government cheese.

Are these crisps weird to anyone else or am I just conservative when it comes to food?


The three finalists for the Do Us A Flavor competition were weirder.

http://superofficialnews.com/no_like.jpg http://superofficialnews.com/hate.jpg http://superofficialnews.com/despise.jpg

Sorry, my mistake, these are the three finalists.

https://cf3cache.pepsico.com/middaynews/images/Frito%20Lay%202013/LaysDUAFFinalists2.jpg?rdm=2418395

At least chicken and waffles was weirder than ham. The other two might be at about the same caliber of weirdness.

Who here would try this, and eat the whole thing? I would, if only it was dairy-free.


As would I, but I suffer from the same condition you do: I don't live in Australia.

How did you find that item?

However, the fact that they made cheese using beer....the same type of beer might I add....comes as no surprise to me.


"Dude, I was so drunk last night!"
"What'd you get drunk off of?"
"Cheese."

I love Germany.

Why must cheese be abused so?

The prawn one sounds especially wretch inducing.

Is that all cheese in a tube? I agree, prawns do not belong anywhere near that stuff. Not sure how bad it would be in comparison to cheese-flavored ice cream.

Sorry, my mistake, these are the three finalists.


Can you still find any of those? I always looked for Sriracha when the contest was running but I never could find it.

Yes.

Chocolate cream cheese? I can see some logic behind that. It probably tastes like a variation of your everyday chocolate cake icing.

I remember they started selling that cheese spread in a store here in August of 2012.
I bought it just to try it out, tasted more like cheese than chocolate, despite the colour.

This post might be a bit long for the 8th post on the page, but that just means the thread will get more page views from people referring back to this post in their posts.

What makes ice cream Pepsi different from regular vanilla Pepsi?


Pepsi Ice Cream was only sold in Russia, while Pepsi Vanilla was only available in the United States in Canada.

Speaking of Pepsi, Germany has an orange-cola flavored beverage called Schwip Schwap.

http://img.21food.com/img/product/2013/5/12/europeandrinks-04170150.jpg

And Coca-Cola makes one called Mezzo Mix.

http://www.aumarche.com/_ccLib/image/products/DETA1-1194.jpg

Both of these products sell much better in Germany than Coca-Cola Orange (page 26) did in the UK.

The three finalists for the Do Us A Flavor competition were weirder.


No wonder "Mitt Romney Doesn't Like You" won; the other two were just standard potato flavors. Radish-flavored chips are far surely far more interesting.

Unfortunately, no such potato chips actually exist, but people have made chips out of sliced radishes.

http://www.simplecomfortfood.com/images/radish-chips2.jpg

how about regular cheese ice cream?


Apparently available only in the Philippines. Here are some more bizarre ice cream flavors from around the world, Quezo Real included. There are a few on that list that make cheese look like one of Baskin Robbins' 31 original flavors.

The prawn one sounds especially wretch inducing.


That is truly a random combination. I can picture an English businessman suggesting prawns as a new flavor for their cheese spread at some kind of press conference, but only in the form of a British comedy sketch.

There is certainly no reason to ever put prawns and cheese together.

Can you still find any of those? I always looked for Sriracha when the contest was running but I never could find it.


The winner, Cheesy Garlic Bread, is still available in certain locations. The other two vanished shortly after the contest was over, and even then they were only available in select locations.

Sticking with cheese:


Not only do they make it in milk chocolate; it's also available in dark chocolate.

That image also reminded me of this post.

I bought it just to try it out, tasted more like cheese than chocolate, despite the colour.


According to at least one review, the dark chocolate spread tastes a bit more chocolatey.

I've never been big on frozen fries, but what I can't figure out about these is why they're packaged like Crayola crayons in the 64-color set.

It's also baffling that people would buy their fries in such small quantities. Compared to the size of an Ore Ida fry sack, these Fries-to-Go seem like a terrible investment.

http://www.iheartpublix.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ore-ida-fries.gif

Looks like that bag contains more than 24 fries. Granted, you have to put them in the oven, but you get at least 3x the fried potato-ey goodness.

which one do people like better in Germany, the schwip schwap or mezzo mix?


You'll have to ask someone who lives or has lived in Germany. @UnleashedUponMankind may be able to help you with your query.

Pepsi is doing a better job making their Schwip Scwhap look appetizing than Coke is doing with Mezzo Mix. They probably taste identical, but I would rather buy Schwip Schwap.

Not only do they make it in milk chocolate; it's also available in dark chocolate.


Now that might be something I could get addicted to. I shouldn't even try it since I have no intention of gaining any pounds.

The radish chips might be a healthy alternative.

Also, it's apparently available exclusively in Australia, so @DrElmer, I'm counting on a review from you.


If I decide to take a 37 hour, 3,500 km drive to Fremantle, I will try their fishy ice cream. Until then, you won't be hearing about it from me.

Apparently this is Australian, so we'll make @DrElmer try it and tell us about it.


Again, this dish is not local. Adelaide is a good 8 hours away, and that's certainly not a distance I'm willing to drive for a meat pie in some pea soup. That's literally all it is. I could make a meat pie at home and plop it into some pea soup. How much is really left up to the imagination?
