Since the popular thread from 2011 has gone to hell with outdated images, false page redirections and 4 blank pages of deleted posts, I think it's time to start anew for the 2012 community.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

Yes, yes it is Photoshopped. You get to know whether or not something was edited by Photoshop just by looking at it after a while. It looks super layered, and the pixels look strange near the top. They don't have the right shade.

@Terry
Here's my argument:

Not. Has any of you been to Steak n Shake lately?

I never said the dish wasn't real. I just said that image wasn't. You can't expect to me to believe they magically put the white background in without some sort of photo editing software, can you?

Oh, no, the image isn't mine. I found it online - it's stock.

First and foremost, I would like to thank MrDayCee for the fabulous title change.

Some things that I randomly googled up:


Speed run time.

Roast Beef Bubble Gum.
Smoked Salmon Vodka.
Pepsi White.
Bacon Marmalade.
Rose Pork Brains.

The pickle-flavored candy canes are interesting, but the flavor I imagine them possessing is absolutely awful. I love pickles, and I love sugary candy canes, but combining the two is a disaster waiting to happen.

Wouldn't it have been more fun and benifial for this thread if you would have posted those in batches over time Gandalf? Just saying...


Considering that 5/6 of the products he posted have already been mentioned, linking to them all in the same post does get the redirecting step over with, but for future reference, it would be more fun if one were to post such items more sporadically so as not to overwhelm us with too many unrelated bizarre food products at once.

So I found these things called cactus candy, and they are well candy made from cactus. I got a box and they were surprisingly good.


They look good. From what I've gathered from the image Terry posted, I'm sensing prickly pear has a raspberry-pomegranate-like flavor?

A while back at the grocery store I couldn't decide whether to buy dill pickle flavored Lays or ketchup flavored Lays.


Where do you find ketchup-flavored Lays outside of Canada?

Ok hopefully this will work.


Google image search has gotten annoying recently. Now you have to right-click on the image (after clicking on it) and select "Copy Image Location" in order to get the correct link for the image.

This burger you mean?


That's nothing compared to In N Out's 100x100 burger. 19,490 calories of savory death.

I don't know how this guy did it:


I don't know why he put the pickles on top of the burger. I don't see his logic behind that decision.

Has any of you been to Steak n Shake lately?


I'd never heard of it until just now when I looked it up, but apparently they have 506 locations, almost all of which are on the eastern side of the United States. The only one in a 600-mile radius of yours truly is in Vegas, and even if I ate cheese under any circumstances, I wouldn't travel all that way for a burger with a calorie count as weak as 1,330 (this doesn't seem accurate...) when I could much more easily obtain a tower of onion rings from Red Robin at 1,990 calories.

Or Outback's even more delicious Bloomin' Onion at 2,210 calories.

That's pretty close. I seem to recall it tasting like the pomegranate jellybean, but it's hard to remember the exact flavor from a trip I took when I was 11.

Those are amazing.

I don't really care, I'm bored of clicking on pages, I hate it.

What does that mean, dare I ask? I just looked it up on Urban Dictionary and I have a feeling at least that definition of Gandalf'd won't happen to this thread.

When the last post is made by me, and the thread hasn't been posted for at least 2 days, it get's Gandalf'd.

That's one of my favorite jelly beans. I'm going to Arizona one of these days.

That's what I'm here for.

Had you actually said something about any of the individual products rather than just posting random pictures (that's so MBFF 2011), it could have sparked some discussion and made the thread more interesting. Instead, you just posted 5 different images that have already been discussed, which, if you can't start a new discussion, makes it very difficult for those of us who have already discussed them to ignite a new discussion.

If I just go and post 5 images I find from searching "weird food flavors" on Google...

...chances are at least one of them has already been posted at this point, and if that's the case, what have I contributed by posting those images?

If you absolutely can't bring yourself to scroll through past pages, I understand that completely, but try not to get in the habit of just posting random images you find without saying anything about them, just in case they have already been posted and discussed.

On a more relevant note, I'm surprised no one has brought up the Doritos Locos tacos yet. The cool ranch one is relatively new, but the nacho cheese one has been around the block a few times.

What is the second image down? Some kind of chicken smoothie? The Jimmy Dean one doesn't sound incredibly bad, although the Big Az rack-o-ribs put a horrible taste in my mouth for ambiguous frozen meat products.

I swear it was made of plastic. I took one bite and palmed it off on some freshman freeloader.

The ranch one doesn't sound too bad. I don't think much of Taco Bell, so anything could be an improvement.

Those onions don't look peeled. That's strange. How do they expect people to eat them?

That other link isn't really a link, which is why it doesn't show up as an image, but it's incredibly long. What is the image of?
