Since the popular thread from 2011 has gone to hell with outdated images, false page redirections and 4 blank pages of deleted posts, I think it's time to start anew for the 2012 community.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.
@ Top Set I've tasted the Extreme Buffalo Wing flavor... it's not spicy at all! Onion Blossom looks pretty good, though!
@ Limited Edition Flavors and Flavor Fest Ketchup sounds pretty good, as does curry, but what is "Mexican" supposed to be? Especially since there's a Salsa flavor that appears in the Flavor Fest...
@ Japanese Flavors The first two look pretty good, but the butter one looks pretty foul! I'd wonder how they pulled off the chicken flavors, but I guess if Chicken in a Biskit could do it...
@ Fruit & Nut Fruit-flavored chips? Maybe the lemon one could be okay, but blueberry and potato chips just don't seem like a good mix!
@ American Circus Honey mustard flavor does sound good, since Kettle Chips have successfully made it into something tasty, but why is it associated with an American circus?
One of my favorite things, though, about Pringles is that they go so well with Vodka...

The buffalo wing flavor is not spicy at all. I recall it being more salty than anything.
The onion blossom flavor is alright, but most of the flavor is horseradish. I'm sure it doesn't taste too different from Referent.
what is "Mexican" supposed to be?
It could be a completely different flavor than salsa. One could only know by tasting it, but that seems to be out of the question at the moment.
I'm sure it just has different spices.

Honey Dijon is actually my favorite flavor of Kettle Chips.
I'm sure the Pringles are almost as good. Kettle Chips have that grease quality that no other potato chip out there can provide.
Your guess is as good as mine as to why they associate it with an American circus.
Doritos have also come up with a few interesting flavors in other parts of the world. For those of you who have trouble reading small or Japanese text, the first flavor is coconut curry and the second is a "collision" between chicken sizzler and zesty salsa flavors.

Coconut curry sounds interesting... one of the few instances where a fruit flavor would actually have a positive impact on the flavor of the chip! xP
What's with all the chicken flavors, though, and why are they combining it with salsa? What country are those Doritos found in? The writing is clearly in English but neither of those flavors sound American!
It's kind of suggestible, so read at your own risk. Among things listed are duck fetuses, spiders, monkey brains, and a thing or two I shouldn't probably say here.
Bodega Bay is famous for two things. The main one is for being the site in which Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds was filmed. The other, not so obvious thing that isn't really well-known outside of the food community is barbecued oysters.
You will never eat a more delicious oyster in your life. As George Zimmer would say, I guarantee it.
The only one I might try would be the Kopi Luwak. It has the possibility of not being too nasty.
Strange, my view towards it was exactly the opposite.
Why are there not more restaurants that serve bacon-wrapped lobster?
@ Sal's list Disgusting! There is nothing on that list I would ever see myself eating! Haha
But I can't knock it until I try it, so... =)
@ BBQ oysters Mmmm... finally an aphrodisiac that's both delicious and... well, it's an aphrodisiac, so... =D
@ Hot Dog Gum I've had those before and I'm at least glad that they don't taste like hot dogs! I love hot dogs but as a gum flavor? Nuh-uhh! That's just not an acceptable use of meat! =P
@ Honey Booze Oh dear lord... I've never been into alcohol but I would have loved those as a kid! My sweet tooth was more like a sweet tusk! Alcohol has the potential to ruin lives if it's sweet and delicious! xP
@ Ice Cream Burger For some reason, if the cheese wasn't there, the burger would seem more appetizing!
Why are there not more restaurants that serve bacon-wrapped lobster?
Because fancy high roller types generally aren't into their fancy expensive dishes being wrapped in bacon.
But you'll probably be seeing more of it within the next few decades once bacon enthusiasts become wealthier.
Alcohol has the potential to ruin lives if it's sweet and delicious!
Alcohol has the potential to ruin lives. Period. The sweet-and-deliciousness just makes it easier for some who aren't drinking their troubles away to get hooked. I'm sure it would also make it easier for those who do wish to drink their troubles away, because then it would taste good and that's one less trouble.
But who knows how sweet and delicious these drinks really are.
Of course, it also works the other way.
Sangria-flavored soda. I've actually tried this particular drink and it's not too bad. It actually tastes like a very sweet, carbonated wine (and the smell is dangerously close).
For some reason, if the cheese wasn't there, the burger would seem more appetizing!
I have to agree with you there, though probably only because I find cheese disgusting and whether or not the ice cream was there I still wouldn't eat the burger if it had cheese on it.
