Strawberry Cheetos, anyone?
There are some strange flavours out there. I realize that much of it is regional - if you’ve grown up dipping your fries in mayo instead of ketchup, it doesn’t seem that odd. (In fact, give it a try sometime and you’ll see that it isn’t half bad.) On the topic of fries, I remember ordering my first poutine when my family moved to Quebec City. I was shocked at how delicious fries with gravy and cheese curds could taste. But I digress…
There are some flavours, though, that really leave you scratching your head. There was the turkey and gravy soda at Thanksgiving a few years ago. Huh? What? Yeah, see the element that makes those two flavours great together is the fact that they’re both piping hot, which is not the way you would normally drink your pop. And now Frito Lay in Japan brings you… Strawberry Cheetos! I could maybe see it if the strawberry were a seasoning, the way the cheese is. But if you look at the picture on the bag in the photo above, it appears that the strawberry is a coating. Yum!
What bizarre flavours have you been exposed to? Maybe you’ve created your own concoction that sounds strange, but tastes delicious. Have your say in the reply/comments section below.
