Have you all ever tried....
banana peanut butter?
bc09c11d4a9cdeb8cd2dc9c2fbd53755.jpg

It makes perfect sense, really. People put bananas on peanut butter all the time. It's just a few handfuls of bacon crumbles and amphetamines away from being called Elvis Spread. How weird can it be?
Apparently very weird, as this tastes almost exactly like banana Laffy Taffy. Somehow they took actual dried bananas and transmutated them into the one flavor that seems to have no natural equivalent.
So of course I think that it's great.

Raw garlic ice cream with cantaloupe. The heat of the ice cream flavor and the creamyness off At perfectly by the fruit. They only really serve it properly at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, so....
But it is to DIE FOR. Seriously. Even if you hate garlic, it is good. My old man hates garlic with a passion, but loves this.

I was gonna say, that looks like some tasty vanilla ice cream with fruit- I'd eat that! ...but then I kept reading.

Lol it is better then it sounds...it would HAVE to be. It is one of the most popular items, other then the garlic fries and the mushroom caps stuffed with chopped garlic/cheese/and bread crumbs that are breaded and deep fried.

Have you tried the Cookie butter?

It is heaven in a jar. Seriously.
 
Everyone knows those 5 hour energy shots. Well I saw this today:
20180810_041935.jpg

That's 2.5 ounces of "the functional evolution of pickle brine" aka pickle juice. No sugar, no caffiene, gluten free. Says to drink it to stop muscle cramps.

Of course I grabbed one. Not gonna drink it though, just a neat novelty. I love pickles, but not so much I'd drink shots of pickle juice out of its own custom bottle. I really don't see this catching on.

For a couple bucks you can buy a giant jar of pickles at Wal-Mart and it has pickle juice in it. As well as actual pickles. Anyone who buys those seriously is a sucker, or is buying them to send them to Chris.

I would like someone to verify the veracity of this abomination.

The first glance at the Nabisco logo tells me this is shooped. And badly shooped too.

Also surprised to see that Ketchup Chips and Dill Pickle flavour chips are strange to some of you, they are among the most basic flavours of chips you would expect to find in any corner store let alone grocery store in Canada along with Sour Cream and Onion, Salt & Vinegar, Barbeque and All-Dressed, and presumably the USA too. Maybe you finding this strange are in Europe or Down Under?

Among the odd-ball chips i've had are butter chicken chips and lobster and drawn butter chips. The latter were fucking REVOLTING. The first...didn't really taste like butter chicken but went great with beer.

Ketchup and All-Dressed are the only ones of those unique to Canada. All the others are the kind that every major potato chip brand has versions of. I heard there are ketchup chips in the U.S. now, too, but I've yet to see them.
 
There's all-dressed chips in the U.S. now too. Even got a big maple leaf on the bag and a badge proudly proclaiming it's Canada's most popular flavor:

I've had them. They're not bad.

Thing is though, I've heard they're actually nothing like the ones in Canada. If that's true, why didn't they just start selling the Canadian ones here too instead of wasting their time making a completely different flavor with the same name?

I've never tried real Canadian ones though so I don't know what the difference is. These U.S. ones taste pretty similar to mesquite barbecue flavor chips to me.
 
I've seen these in stores, however I haven't tried them, because they don't sound that appetizing:

I would like to try these, however they are exclusive to Asia:

I do, however, greatly enjoy these:

The best way I can describe the flavor is a mixture of barbecue and salt & vinegar. They are quite delicious.

They sell those here, I wasn't impressed.

Interesting! Especially to me as all dressed is my personal favourite flavour.

I'm glad they're marketing them in the U.S. now since this awesomeness deserves to be shared, but pretty much every brand has it's own ratios of what spices to be used and while almost all are recognizable as 'all dressed', no two brands taste the same.

In fact, often no two batches taste the same. For example Old Dutch brand all-dressed are absolutely heavenly, except when they aren't. Sometimes a batch will be overwhelmed with a flavour like garlic, sometimes a batch will be almost flavourless, etc. I honestly think the spice mix is handmade, not just the same recipe delivered by computer batch after batch. About 75% maybe are a consistant flavour, but WHAT a flavour.

Either way, completely agree that they should ship down one of the real Canadian brand flavours. Since the chip makers themselves are international, it seems to make no sense NOT to.

I think I will pass on the chocolate-coated chips too. The only time those would seem appetizing would be if you are absolutely pissy-ass drunk. I bet they would taste like ambrosia then.

Pickle juice and shrubs are really popular with Civil War reenactors. Basically they’re old time Gatorade.

Weirdest thing I tried were these seaweed chips a coworker brought in. Now I have no problem with seaweed/rice crackers wrapped in them/sushi/etc. but those chips smelled like goldfish flake food.

They were weird.

Right next to those yesterday I saw a new pickle thing: freezable pickle popsicles. I'll have to grab a pic because I think it belongs here too.
 
The absolute worst thing I have ever had in my mouth (that claimed to be a foodstuff) was a kale chip. I was at Whole Foods to find some low sodium food for my grandmother, and they had samples. It was some sort of flavor, sour cream and cheddar? Maybe. They were horrible. Dry and crumbly, with a vague cheesy flavor, before they fell apart into a slam of chlorophyll and damp tissue. Took forever to get rid of the taste.
