It's a gut shot, like Kombucha. It's got a bunch of probiotics. Good for digestion. You're not necessarily drinking it for taste.

I can at least drink kombucha without vomiting, though, especially with stuff like ginger added.

And I like kraut, itself, on a dog, or a Reuben, but I don't want to just drink kraut juice.

The ones that weird me out are those chips, like Funyuns flavored Lay's/Ruffles (can't remember which, can't be bothered to look). It's like "I love me the taste of some Funyuns, but I hate circles, finally a chip me!".

Get creative with it. Use it to marinate some pork, get it nice and tender and add some flavor.

Put some juice in a Mason jar and stick some cucumbers inside for a pickle brine.

Anything mint chocolate flavoured. It's the peak of "ackshually it's an acquired taste" in my opinion.

I unironically seen this, probably really popular in Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma since Natives are addicted to hot chips.

I work at a small health food grocery store that sells a lot of weird stuff, but perhaps the weirdest thing we carry is frozen camel milk. When we do carry it, we tend to sell about one a month. It's apparently supposed to be really good for you, but it is 20 dollars a bottle which is a lot.

The question you have to ask yourself is: How many humans are currently alive without even conceiving of a thing like "frozen camel milk" (?!?!) and if that number is a big one, (I assume it's in the low to mid billions) how badly do you really need it to live?

Too lazy to loon through 37 pages but if I haven't posted it yet my contribution is hunts snackpaks it's pudding but it's out room temperature next to granola bars how does that work?

You can put it in your kids' lunches without worrying about refrigeration, I guess.

The Flamin' Hot Cheetos ice cream seems weird at first glance, but then I remember that dairy tempers spiciness, so I guess it works.

I hope your aunt isn't named Myrna.

Escargot - I have seen a giant tube of snails in Walmart and I'm not sure who eats that and if they did, why buy it from Walmart.

I've had the misfortune of buying gluten free bread that was already molding so obviously not many people buying that.

Something similar happens at my grocery store. When 80/20 ground beef supplies are low, 73/27 pops up in its place and the price difference is negligible at best and the shelf life is close to zero.


At a family event earlier this year, my aunt made a jello dessert that was real good. Just a shame that people see it more as a medical process thing than a nice dessert as they get older. 🤷‍♂️


I don't get the point of this "designer food" (for lack of a better term), either. It sounds like stuff edgelords would buy, eat, and than brag about on social media as some sort of flex. I'm not surprised that this stuff is absolutely bad from a nutritional standpoint.

Speaking of my grocery store, they've had a lot of Campbell's cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup on sale for 99 cents lately, but the stacks don't seem to be decreasing noticeably week after week. I can't believe it's selling so much they're keeping it well stocked, so I can only assume few if any are interested in the overstock.

The cream soups are really mostly for cooking, stuff like green bean casserole, which people usually only make for big family/holiday dinners. The store probably overbought.

The clamato/beer combo is popular in Latino areas, especially for breakfast beers/hangover relivers. They call them Cheladas or micheladas. Beer companies make premade ones that are pretty good. The Budweiser one is the only Bud product I'll touch.

I routinely keep a stock of pickles in my fridge because they are guilt-free snacks, literally like five calories per spear. Sometimes I'll sneak a sip of the pickle juice if it's a particularly good flavor. My dad also likes to pickle various things (garlic, jalapenos, okra, carrots, etc) and his pickling mixtures are pretty good too. But I don't drink the whole jar.

Well, I didn't know I needed to buy that but now I do.

I'm suddenly reminded of the shamrock shake that made me sick as fuck and ended with me puking poltergeist tier green all over the RV as a kid

I can't imagine that even the most autistic neet gamer would eat this

Did you know a human being can survive off of dried dates and camel milk alone indefinitely?

I've heard of camel milk. There used to be a camel farm (I think they provided them for petting zoos or events) near one of my friend's places. I wanted to ask them if they had milk but they closed awhile back.

Some pet supply stores near me have frozen goat milk in the cooler with the premium foods. It's sold for dogs I think, but theoretically what's stopping a person from drinking it?

Better than just potatoes which you can also survive indefinitely eating exclusively. I just Googled the combo and apparently Bedouins do just that. It has all the protein you need and the combo of vitamins will stave off all the vitamin deficiency diseases.
