There’s been a lot of interesting, head-tilting, gut-churning, and just plain confusing food in 2019.
So, we’ve made a list of all of them to reminisce about. Take a walk down weird food memory lane with us and let us know how you feel about them!
Pickle Chips
Vlasic announced in early spring that they were developing their very own vacuum-fried pickle chips.
Even though these may seem weird and unconventional, they actually look mighty delicious, and I hope I get a personal e-mail when they’re available.
Blue Java Bananas
They seem like fake news right? Wrong.
Blue Java bananas are very much very real and apparently taste like vanilla soft serve ice cream.
Getting your fruit intake in has never been so easy!
Gin Mayo
I love gin, but gin mayo?
This condiment is actually being sold at a restaurant in Amsterdam in proper Dutch frites tradition, and people really like it!
Would you give it a try?
Pickle Gummy
People love pickles, but do they really love them enough to eat them in gummy form?
This product is just so off-putting, but a great novelty gift for those who love the tangy treat!
Cotton Candy Balls
This product may look pretty familiar to you, but in a bright orange color. That’s because Cheese Balls are iconic and a great American while-you-wait-for-dinner-to-finish-cooking snack.
But cotton candy balls ? We can’t really imagine it, except maybe a bright blue tongue afterwards!
Skittles Dips
I hate to break it to you, but someone had to.
Yogurt-covered Skittles exist. I’m sorry! I never said it wouldn’t hurt you heart.
This product is a big yikes from us, tbh.
Pizza Hut Cheez-It Pizza Bites
Weird concept, but a genius creation.
Tbh, I would eat so many of these that I would volunteer myself as tribute to experience the torturous impending stomach ache for so many years after.
Burger King’s $1 Taco
Burger King’s weird flex $1 tacos were probably the biggest marketing scam of 2019, but don’t @ me.
They looked pretty decent in ads, but the actual product looked extremely questionable and customers commented on how terrifying they looked.
Can confirm I’ve had approx. 5 nightmares about these.
Oreo-Flavored Candy Canes
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want my candy canes to taste like cookies. I want them to taste like candy.
I want Oreos to keep tasting like Oreos. Stay in your lane, candy cane!
French’s Mustard Ice Cream
Imagine freezing mustard and then happily eating it with a spoon.
I know, you can’t! Because it’s just wrong! It’s time to cancel National Mustard Day, sorry.
French’s , c’mon!
Pineapple Lumps Cadbury
I think name is just off-putting here. Say it 5 times and tell me your thoughts: Pineapple Lumps .
It’s a real product in Australia, and people absolutely love the nostalgic treat. So much so, that Cadbury collabed with the brand to create a chocolate bar with tons of the fruity lumps in it.
Mmmm………
Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Toppin At Yogurtland
They say dairy is supposed to calm the burning effects of spicy food, but this combo is just wild.
Yogurtland sure knows the power of the spicy puff, because they made Flamin’ Hot Cheetos a topping for frozen yogurt.
I’ll let you decide how you feel about that for a minute.
Trader Joe’s Chocolate Lava Gnocchi
I’m sorry, but these look like semi-frozen dog poops thawing in the melting snow of spring. Anyone with dogs in snowy states will understand this.
Seriously, I’m sorry, but I couldn’t hold in my true opinion any longer!
Raw Turkey Cake
Talented cake designer Sarah Hardy sure knows how to wig people out!
Imagine getting this served in front of you at Thanksgiving in shock and horror, only for it to be cut open and reveal itself as a delectable cake.
Would you still eat it?
What are some weird food items you saw on the market this year that we missed?
