Since the popular thread from 2011 has gone to hell with outdated images, false page redirections and 4 blank pages of deleted posts, I think it's time to start anew for the 2012 community.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

Bananas, from that strange lumpy confection?

The beverage does not contain any actual bananas, but for whatever reason, banana flavoring is added.

You can also probably buy banana ketchup in your local Filipino market.

They go great with banana fries.*

*I have never actually tasted either banana fries or banana ketchup, let alone the two together, so I cannot validate the claim that the two would actually taste good together. It's always worth a try, however.

BANANA fries? I'm not so sure how I feel about this.

On another note:

Boiled mini bananas. I didn't even know mini bananas were a thing.

Now, I love Marmite, and will happily eat it with a wide variety of foods. This may, however, be pushing it:

I suppose it's okay to drink it now.

I lied. It SMELLS like banana Laffy Taffy, and tastes a little bit like it as well, but it also tastes like grilled fish & grass jelly. The texture is really weird, too, it's like swallowing a bunch of tiny bugs. It doesn't taste all that bad, but because of the texture, I would not recommend.

I really must be losing my mind. I saw the small shadow on that plate and I turned my head around instinctively.

Possibly also available for breakfast in the future.

Nothing says breakfast like vomiting up your breakfast.

I have plenty:

They could have at least put corresponding pictures on the first three flavors. A block of cheese for belly button lint and a chocolate macchiato for cat fur and aluminum foil? They could have found much better pictures to Photoshop onto those bags.

Boiled mini bananas. I didn't even know mini bananas were a thing.

The Latundan banana, or "apple banana" as it is sometimes referred to, is indeed very real. Like the banana ketchup, you might be able to find these bite-sized bananas at your local Filipino supermarket.

Now, I love Marmite, and will happily eat it with a wide variety of foods. This may, however, be pushing it:

I'd have to have tasted Marmite to truly appreciate how peculiar this chocolate bar claims to be.

I'm sure somewhere in this thread, there's an earlier mention of Marmite crisps (they're chips, my fellow Americans), but I'm not going to look through over 100 pages just to confirm these suspicions.

http://www.taquitos.net/im/sn/Marmite.jpg

I enjoyed this review on said chips/crisps. Apparently Marmite smells like an old shoe.

It doesn't taste all that bad, but because of the texture, I would not recommend.

I'm more turned off by the color than anything. I prefer not to eat or drink anything grey, regardless of what it tastes like.

The texture certainly doesn't help, though. Do they make this beverage anywhere without the basil seeds, do you know, or is that the whole point of the drink?

I really must be losing my mind. I saw the small shadow on that plate and I turned my head around instinctively.

That sounds like something I might do late at night. This site has a way of messing with your head.

Speaking of that fake flavor in particular...

http://blogs.villagevoice.com/forkintheroad/ztoothpastex.jpg

Personally I would prefer it as an ice cream flavor rather than a chip flavor, but that doesn't change the fact that I would definitely hate it either way if it were real.

Looks like a few tasty items have been skipped over completely... can't..resist..compulsion..to..reply...

@ Currywurst
I am an avid hot dog lover and I can tell that sausage is delicious! I'll have to remind myself to find some curry powder to mix with my ketchup next time I'm grillin' dogs.

@ Banana ketchup
I'd give this stuff a try too if I didn't have to buy a whole bottle of it... I want to make sure it's worth buying so I don't have a random bottle of exotic ketchup lying around my pantry. =P

@ Tiny bananas
A banana you can eat in a bite... why haven't Americans become obsessed with these already? =P

@ Marmite
This is a British thing, so I've never tried it, but it looks like shoe polish! How does it taste, @09philj?

@Skeleton_Pilot, Marmite has a very distinctive taste all of it's own, that most people love or hate, but it's salty. The texture is closer to industrial lubricant than shoe polish.

I'll have to try this Marmite stuff if I ever visit England... which could happen before I'm 50! I'll also have to re-familiarize myself with the main texture differences between shoe polish and industrial lubricant. =P

I wonder how it compares to the Australian Vegemite...

"-mite" must be an English-Australian suffix meaning "looking like and/or having similar consistency to shoe polish"... =D

@Skeleton_Pilot
Vegemite is meant to be less strongly flavoured than Marmite. Marmite is a lot gooier than shoe polish.

So you're saying that Marmite might be more like roof tar than shoe polish? =P

Even though I've never tasted vegemite, I'm still glad this isn't a real cereal...

Speaking of Marmite and Vegemite, who likes Reese's Peanut Butter Cups?

You might be wondering what this has to do with Marmite or Vegemite. The answer: absolutely nothing. But this is MBFF, and sometimes it switches gears for no apparent reason.

9 Reese's Peanut Butter Cup variants you might not have known about

Big Cup w/nuts - an oversized version of the traditional cup (with nuts)

Caramel - the traditional cup with an added layer of caramel filling

Crunchy Cookie Cup - a layered cup with crushed chocolate cookies and peanut butter filling

Half-Pound Cup - a single cup weighing 226g; released in Canada in 2011

Hazelnut Cream - hazelnut cream instead of the standard peanut butter filling

Honey Roasted - a traditional cup substituting honey roasted peanut butter

Inside Out - chocolate filling in a peanut butter cup

Marshmallow - the traditional cup with an added layer of marshmallow filling

Peanut Butter & Banana Creme - a layered cup with a top chocolate layer, bottom banana creme layer, and peanut butter filling

Source.

All they're missing is the Vegemite cup.
