Since the popular thread from 2011 has gone to hell with outdated images, false page redirections and 4 blank pages of deleted posts, I think it's time to start anew for the 2012 community.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

I encountered this while on mandatory vacation last month. Then I went back to Carl's Jr. and encountered it again.

The All-American burger could only be more American if you slapped an applie pie on it.

Kettle also has some new flavors in their lineup.

Roasted garlic is the best one, but you should buy all of them to try them. You'll want the big bags.

Ever had the Garbage Burger from Max and Erma's? I tell you what, I went there for the very first time and ordered it, then when we left for home I spent about ~45 minutes in the bathroom. It turned out to be a pretty good burger, but the aftermath was not pleasant and I would not go through that again.

From their menu:
The burger that started it all! It’s got smoked bacon,
cheddar, Swiss, American & mozzarella cheeses,
sautéed mushrooms & onions, guacamole &
marinara. Served with lettuce, tomato & onion on a
toasted brioche bun. 9.99

The photo makes the burger look pretty, but in actuality it's pretty ugly and the top of the bun needs to be smashed on.

Neither one of those burgers can be as tall as they look in the pictures. I should try the All-American one before it disappears for the sake of trying it. I don't know what chips would do to a hamburger besides make it crunchier. Never been to Max and Erma's because it's only in the Midwest and the East, but I do like bacon, mushrooms, onions, marinara, and guac, so it would be on my list if I lived near one.

The menu at Max and Erma's has some intrepid burger options, my favorite three, going by description alone, being the Colossal Meatball Burger, the Windy City Brat Burger, and the Sunny Side Burger. Although I'll most likely never try any of them as long as I live since I live in the wrong part of the country, those three sound the most delicious (and one comes with a side of maple ketchup).

Kettle also has some new flavors in their lineup.

I've tried most of them, including maple bacon, and I actually liked the pepperoncini one above all the others (roasted garlic and maple bacon were close runners up). The red hot ones were the ones that ran together. Releasing all three of those red flavors at once was too much to handle at one time.

Here's one I haven't seen before. Must be a Midwestern flavor:

Why eat beer and drink cheese when you can chip them all in one eat?

According to Ashens, this tastes rather nice, and not of broccoli at all. It looks very alarming though.

I should have been paying more attention to the soda industry when Get Smart was in theaters.

I've had juices made from mixed vegetables, such as kale, spirulina, and other weird green plant matter. With fruit juices like mango and apple mixed in, you can't even taste the green stuff.

On the previous page, in fact. Also available in Pepsi flavor.

And KFC also weaseled their way into the Japanese chip industry.

Speaking of Pepsi:

A family friend tried this on a trip to Japan. It is, apparently, revolting.

Battenberg cake is a traditional dessert from England. Looks bizarre, doesn't taste so. The cake is just ordinary sponge cake dyed pink and yellow.
