More weird foods the world didn’t need

You see some weird things when walking down the grocery store aisles these days. Food companies are coming up with some strange taste combinations to try to pry us from our money. You can find potato chips that taste like hamburgers, ketchup, pickles, even pickled mushrooms. If you like sweet and salty, you can pick up the latest from Reese’s, a peanut butter cup with potato chips inside. It just seems food makers are trying too hard, coming up with combinations that seem to make little sense. I don’t need a chicken and waffle flavored chocolate bar. Even pouches of tuna come in bizarre flavors like sriracha. I’ll pass on the ice cream that tastes like Kraft macaroni and cheese, and the ones that taste like ketchup or mustard. I’m certainly not going to be drinking any vodka that tastes like Arby’s curly fries, although that product is available. I’ll pass on the new beer from ice cream bar that claims to taste like a dive bar, infused with flavors of beer, peanuts and even tobacco smoke. I guess it is good these food makers are thinking outside the box, and many of these offerings are just for novelty’s sake. But if I want some weird foods, I can always go to the state fair. When I’m grocery shopping, I just want foods that taste like they are supposed to.
