Since the popular thread from 2011 has gone to hell with outdated images, false page redirections and 4 blank pages of deleted posts, I think it's time to start anew for the 2012 community.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

Though I would describe the flavor more as "maple & onion."

*spits juice* Maybe it's Indian flavored chips. Made out of potatoes... and Indians.

The bag doesn't really tell you much about the flavor (at least, not in English), but the flavor of the chips inside that big blue bag right up there is Pepsi & Chicken.

Available only in China.

Here's a weird one for you guys: Dancing Squid Bowl. The squid is not actually alive, but watch it dance as you pour soy sauce on it!

I can't decide if that's more funny than it is disturbing. Anyway, it reminded me of living food, which is, in my opinion, the most bizarre culinary advancement that has ever been made. I haven't yet been able to find an explanation as to how this phenomenon works, but here's an article that at least attempts to explain the idea behind it.

That's cool and kinda creepy at the same time.

Check this out...

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this before but I thought it was weird.

They're smart not to tell you how they actually make the living food because then nobody would eat it. They use terms like "molecular gastronomy" and "synthetic biotech" that don't tell you anything about the ingredients of the dishes, but still try and make it seem like it's completely organic and not just something they cooked up in a lab somewhere, even though it seems to be both of those things.

That is a fascinating piece though.

So far this living food experiment has been pretty mysterious in its approach to reach a wider audience. Only one article that comes up and very little publicity in general gives off the idea that this is definitely one of those ideas that sounded better on paper. All I know is, I would never be able to eat something that was still moving. The article mentions an "empathetic connection" between the consumer and the consumee. Why would anyone in their right mind want to eat anything they had an empathetic connection with? The logic behind this idea makes absolutely no sense.

I'd much rather eat Cajun squirrel potato chips. Are they made with some kind of squirrel seasoning? Why am I even asking that...

News organizations have not yet picked up on it, so it's still relatively unknown. The culinary oddity was only first publicized earlier this summer, so give it a few more months and you'll be seeing it all over the internet.

People eat their pet pigs all the time. Not while they're still alive, obviously, but it's still some creature they had some type of connection with during some point in time.
