Thread: Stupid Food Flavours

I was doing my routine online grocery shopping today when something caught my eye.



Yeah, "Netflix and Chill'd" by good ol' Ben & Jerry's, obviously made in collaboration with the company. I can't imagine the number of mummies and kiddies who always await their favourite flavour on a Saturday night, Netflix and Chill'd, likely oblivious to the connotations.

It tries to be clever, but if anything it seems more like self-deprecating humour. Netflix was never really good at jokes to be fair. In the popular scenario Netflix is watched, but it's boring enough to be background noise as a means to get into somebody's pants. The point of "Netflix and chill" is that nobody cares about Netflix and it's very much secondary to a good fuck.

Like Netflix the joke is pretty stupid. It's a weak attempt to capitalise on a popular trend (for a lack of better words) and the flavour seems weak as well.

We all know that Japan is king when it comes to stupid flavours, but what are some that you've encountered?

Maybe not the weirdest one but it certainly made me raise a brow.





I saw this at the grocery store a few times and it absolutely baffles me at who would want to eat something like this. I understand that there always a search for the new hot thing and every so often there comes something like this that seems like mixing oil and water. There can't be any good to come from this.

I stopped buying their ice cream when they started getting political. I will stick with Blue Bunny. At least they have good names lol

As for stupid food flavors....



I like ranch but holy hell.

Lester! The king of weird ass sodas.
He has
Ranch, as Korin showed.
He also has Hot Wing, PB&J, Bacon, Chcolate Covered Bacon, and Corn.
I actually tried some of the flavors with some coworkers.
And they were...mostly not great.
PB&J was tolerable. Tastes kinda citrusy.
Ranch was nasty, and Corn was basically like drinking carbonated corn water. It's impressive how close they come to the actual flavors they advertise.

If you want a good video showcasing the wer9d ass flavors of sodas Yo Videogames has 2 that are fantastic.

It is so cringy. I don't care what your stance is politically, I don't want this crap tied in with my food.

I can confirm the three flavours in this ice cream. First is charcoal. Some people like "burnt" tastes like burnt toast, but the flavour is what you'd get from picking up some charcoal and licking it. Not good.

To add some variety they added a plastic flavour. If you can't imagine that taste, think of the smell of a brand new, fresh television, as you unbox it and take off the film. That as a taste.

To top it off they added a hint of that metallic iron flavour you get from blood. So this ice cream really isn't good at all. It's horrible. So bitter that it makes Uncle Joe's Mint Balls taste as sweet as cotton candy.

I feel like food products and businesses getting this political is just bad business practice. I have seen numerous companies lose money no matter how good something tastes.

Onward with the stupid food flavors...

Coke's take on energy drinks is plain out disgusting. I'm sure these are gross as well. I haven't bought any Coke products since they told people to stop being white. If that's what they want, then I'm happy to disappear from their sales list as if I don't exist.

For some reason I see coffee Coke as something that could actually work. I hate coffee. It's usually quite bitter. Coke is bitter and sweet. I dunno, maybe it'd be okay. If I actually liked coffee I'd probably give it a chance.

Coke Energy that came about a few years ago was quite nice in my opinion. They were trying to market it hard but it was mostly a flop, so I think it's gone for good.

I wouldn't take that news about the Coca-Cola Company so personally. That news concerned a few rogue employees who tried to push their own agenda onto the workforce. But from what I understand those slides weren't official and had more to do with LinkedIn. I don't think they're representative of the brand. Either way, a gargantuan corporation like that is going to produce at least a bit of waste.
