What is up with all the disgusting new junk food?!

Putting two things that don’t belong together together… Fruit Loop bagels, Snickers coffee, Oreo soda, pancake potato chips…

A lot of these products wind up at stores like Grocery Outlet deeply discounted. I don't know why R & D keeps coming up with them. Their taste testers must all be children, teens, or the elderly with worn taste buds. I mean when was the last time these strange combo products took off?

These photos don’t even scratch the surface of what’s out there. Who the heck is eating this crap? It’s revolting.

But taco shells made of Doritos is ok, right?

The target market is fatties, so I’m not even aware of these products.

I tried an Oreo Coke - I could only drink half the bottle and had to pour the rest of it out. Disgusting.

Same goes for vape flavors.

I buy some of the most outlandish food items from Dollar Treee and Grocery Outlet and bring them out when I have company for an interesting impromptu taste test. This time of year they'll do everything with pumpkin spice which is a nice break from the birthday cake everything that seems to still have hold.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch bacon is now a thing.

Op, are you not gay? Don't ever bash anything made with Fruit Loops. I think removing them from school cafeterias is really an anti LGBTQ thing.

I think with some of the most outlandish or temporary flavors are designed to get a ton of traction across social media with people taste testing or calling out the uniqueness/weirdness.Also flavors that are tied in with a movie or television series are just part of the "experiential" marketing plan. Everything is designed to "surprise and delight" you these days. I'm a recovering marketer.

Done well Snickers coffee would be great. Roasted peanut, sweet caramel and earthy chocolate? Sign me up.

There is Coffee Mate Snickers creamer.

I was just shaking my head at Chocolate Cheerios at Costco today. I don't know how these food industry people sleep at night.

Yuck. Like everything fiery hot. It’s like an offshoot of fair food.

Weird flavors aren't always bad. I had rotisserie chicken flavored Lays in France and they were delicious.

It’s desperate corporate synergy gone amok.

You're joking, r24?

The ingredients for Lay's Roast Chicken flavored potato chips include:

Specially selected potatoes

Vegetable oil

Seasoning that includes:

Corn maltodextrin

Torula yeast

Salt

Monosodium glutamate

Hydrolyzed soy and corn protein

Spice

Onion powder

Glucose solids

Citric acid

Dextrose

These chips also contain modified milk ingredients and mono- and di-glycerides. They contain soy and milk ingredients.

Citric acid, onion powder and MSG? So you're telling me I basically consumed Novichok, r26?

by Anonymousreply 27October 1, 2024 9:30 AM

Maybe not. Is MSG legal in Europe? Lots of food additives aren't (fortunately). Citric acid and onion powder are naturally occurring and safe AFAIK.

Would you rather have a Coffee-flavoured Snickers bar or Snickers-flavoured coffee?

Asking for a friend. In marketing. You all know her. It’s Julie.

I don't even consider that shit food.

The one which some might find disgusting which I love is the Lay's BLT potato chips, they bring them back in different reincarnations every so often. They are delicious and really do taste like a Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato sandwich.

Don't eat the applesauce anywhere, there's a problem it seems. Most apple products are from China thru whatever country, so two adulterous steps.

Call me a fat whore, but I'd love to try foods from R1 and R2.
