Remember when the weirdest food product was margarine, simply because it tasted like butter but wasn’t really butter? We’ve moved way beyond that point, I’m afraid. There’s an entirely new market out there, and it’s called – by me – “weird food”.
The weird food scene takes perfectly normal food and injects an odd flavor into it. Not to make the food better – in most cases I can’t imagine it does – but just because this is how science has evolved in the last 20-or-so years.
Anyway, let’s take a look at some of these weird-flavored foods. You’ll see what I mean in a second.
Ginger Ale Flavored Kit Kat
Yup, it’s chocolate that tastes like ginger ale. I don’t know anyone that’s ever eaten chocolate and thought “I wish this tasted like ginger ale instead”, but it’s perfectly possible to cater even to those people’s needs.

The wonderful refreshing feeling of ice cream is sure to mix well with the feeling of sharp spiciness that jalapeños give you.

As happy as I was when gin-tonic sorbet ice cream was a thing, that’s how sad I am now.

Salmon Flavored Potato Chips
This is weird. I don’t like weird things. Fish and chips only mix when they’re not part of the same piece of food.

Tuna salad: yes. Potato chips: yes. Tuna salad flavored potato chips: heck no.

Bacon Flavored Soda
Mixing soda with bacon sounds like a good idea on paper, but it really isn’t.

Bacon Flavored Vodka
Just like the soda, vodka doesn’t mix well with bacon.

In case you’d ever have a craving for potato chips that taste like Eastern European soup.

Haggis Flavored Potato Chips
It’s hard enough to get people to eat haggis, but this is just overkill. Don’t ruin our snacks!

Sweet Corn Flavored Ice Cream
Okay, let’s just be real here: ice cream has all the flavors it’ll ever need and then some. Stop inventing new ones.
