So I'm bored today waiting for the last regular season basketball game of the year, and I've been mulling this around in my head for a while now. Ive seen these commercials for the 'Design a flavor' contest for Lays potato chips, and i got to thinking, what would be the WORST flavor you could design for a potato chip?
Knowing the community here tends to love thinking outside the box, i figured this might be right up our alley.
Unfortunately, I can't grant the $1 Million prize that Lays does, but have at it anyway.
Rules:
1. Maximum of 2 flavor combinations per idea; i.e lemon-lime, but not lemon-mango-lime
2. All flavors must be something that is normally consumed or put in one's mouth by humans, i.e. food, candy, medicine, toothpaste, etc. This means you can't say things like gasoline or kitty litter.
My initial offerings to get us started:
A) Haggis
B) Sea Cucumber & Kaopectate
C) Cake

We can make that worse: Wintergreen Skoal and Tang.
Tuna Fish and Kimchi (Pickled Cabbage)
Incorrect.
Kimchi goes with everything.
Fuck your rules.
Zima & Defeat.
hakarl and durian fruit
Ipecac and Day-5-of-Chili-Challenge Chili.
Bad going down, worse on the rebound.
So... I barely made it to Peddrew Yates before vomiting day five.
And I love hot food.
ah yes day 5 when i realized you could feel the spice on the way out too
1) Balut
2) Century Egg
3) Licorice and Old Bay
#1 &2....sinster
#3- black licorice? (don't think red truly qualifies as licorice anyway)
Giant Smoked Turkey Leg flavor!!!!
In all seriousness here are my 2
Salsa Verde flavored
Worcestershire Sauce flavored (it worked for bold chex mix)
Methinks you didn't read the post.
Maybe not, alcohol and laziness are to blame.
Chocolate pudding and Chinese food.
I gagged just reading this shit. Congrats I believe you win.
Limburger and whole roasted sparrow.
Watermelon pudding and salmon stink heads.
vanilla salmon
this one is from the wife: Grapefruit and Mayo
Durian fruit and lutefisk.
I think this is right thread this time.
I know you watch Andrew Zimmern now!
Speaking of Bizarre Foods. He was in Alaska.
Rotted fish heads and moose hooves.
well played fireman......this is the kind of answer i knew this community could come up with.
durian is fantastic. Have you had it?
This combo though is hands down the worst on the thread.
Brussels sprouts and Joose
Black olive and feta.
Some people will like it, but that will just make them easier to avoid.
Like fried egg and tomato below, I think your offering sounds intriguing. I can see black olive and feta chips crunched up finely and used to coat a mild fish, like tilapia or flounder, for example.
I was going to suggest sauerkraut and dill pickle, but then started thinking that with the right sandwich or a smoked sausage...
Sooo, I'll go with shad roe and Limburger, don't know what it'd taste like, but I think the smell alone would be revolting enough.
Fried Egg and Tomato
That sounds good VPI!
it actually is good....I dead-headed it and made up a combo I thought would be good without realizing this is supposed to be the worst tasting competition
my bad
Wahoos and bowl games.
Diet mountain dew and crab juice
Peanut butter and sardines
Someone else watches "Adam ruins everything"
Stinky Tofu and Vegemite (or Marmite)
Or simply vegemite and vegemite.
onion and coffee
Casu Marzu and Sannakji
Zima flavored
For the full LOLUVa combination, Zima and brie.
My Korean friend knows I like to try different culture foods, and brought me back some Korean snacks from visiting her mom. I have to say the anchovy flavored dried seaweed snacks left a very unpleasant aftertaste, and that is from someone who likes anchovies. Sweet, salty and very not fresh fishy. I will go with dried anchovy seaweed.
Ummm, you win?
I said it above but honestly I can't even comprehend what balut must taste like. I'd eat it if I had to but man that would be rough.
Rob can let me know what he thought (as it looks like those are personal pictures) but the psychology of Balut is MUCH worse than the taste. never had stewed camel though.
I know people that were seriously ill from eating each but I was smart enough to let them be the guinea pigs, so no I have not consumed these two nasty "delicacies"
I'm in the minority, in that I would like to try Balut one day. I'm also rather adventurous
It's definitely something you want a local to take you to a "good" place. I was fortunate to not get sick other than feeling ill while eating it, but again that is the psychology of it. The taste wasn't nearly as bad as I expected, though not something I would say is "good".
Tonsil Stones and Whiskey Farts......Damn it thats not the rules...., Redo...
I'll go with Wet Fritos and Souse meat.
From someone who loves biscuits and gravy, this actual flavor, is the worst ever.
Heck, they weren't THAT bad. By golly they weren't good, but I've had worse. Those Reuben chips they made were much worse.
Their cappuccino chips literally made me sick and the mango salsa tasted like a week old bag of trash.
I kinda liked the Reuben chips. The szechuan chicken was my least favorite of the ones I've tried, though chicken and waffles was pretty bad too.
I like actual biscuits and gravy too and thought they were good, though the gyro flavoured ones were the best.
For lays the marketing worked though, I went from buying 0 bags of chips of lays chips a year to 3 because the flavors sounded intriguing.
Strawberry Steak?
root beer and cookie dough
So a cookie dough root beer float? I'd eat that.
not cookie dough ice cream, just cookie dough. The ice cream makes for a delicious combination with the rootbeer, but just straight cookie dough and root beer will make you throw up and get diabetes.
Boysenberry chitlin.
Raw chicken and bananas.
Oh so tasty.
wahoo (the fish) and zima
Salt and vinegar.
Salt and vinegar is delicious and I will fight anyone who says otherwise at anytime. My email is IAmNickAcree@IBenchMoreThanYou.com
To clarify, I legged your comment for the joke, not the message. DEATH TO SALT AND VINEGAR!!
I like salt. I like vinegar.
When they're combined on chips, some kind of flavor abomination is formed that I can only assume is the product of gnat farts in a bowl of salt water.
Tuna Fish n Green Jello.....
Morning after smoking a cigar breath flavoring
Or
I just threw up a little in my mouth flavoring
