It's wierd as hell, but it works.

[Surpheal]

Well, this a thread for anything that's bizarre as all fuck, but still works. Decisions in film/games, day to day tricks, that sort of thing.

Well, cheese and chocolate go together like you wouldn't believe.

I got a potato chip chocolate bar for christmas in my stocking. Surprising mix of flavors and it tasted very good.

I see your potato chip chocolate bar, and I raise you much yet untouched beef jerky chocolate bar. I'm almost too curious to give it a try, I just want to keep it as some sort of trophy.

Other than that I really can't think of anything right now.

If you want to hear something bizarre, I know a girl who can lick her own elbow. I was amazed.

Heh, I can do that too. One of my favourite party tricks.

 

[Duck Sandwich]

I eat sandwiches with cabbage/carrot mix, peanut butter, and ham. Yes, that's right. Peanut butter and *ham*. And it's *delicious.* Also, for those that keep an eye on their health when it comes to eating, it's also a good mix of carbs, fat, and protein.

 

[Kyogissun]

Also, I have recently dropped "excuse me" as something to use in getting through crowds of dumbasses who won't move, as it so rarely worked. I now simply growl at people. Ridicule that all you want, but there's no denying that it works, and I struggle to deny I enjoy it a little.

I should try using that on the bus/walking through the hallway on campus/walking through the mall past customers so I can buy my lunch/dinner.

Pizza and Ketchup both compliment each other

Same with Pretzels and Ranch

Though that may just be my stomach speaking >.>

Apparently I'm in the minority when it comes to Americans who enjoy mayonnaise with french fries. Pretzels and ranch sounds really good to me though, now you mention it.

I've seen girls do that too! It is pretty bizarre to watch.

Weird things that work. Hmm.
If you squeeze your thumb firmly, your gag reflex is greatly reduced. Seriously.
As long as you keep hold of your thumb, you can stick your finger down your throat and nothing happens.

I can't get myself to throw up voluntarily no matter how far I jam my finger down my throat...you probably shouldn't ask how I found that out.

Umm, well have you ever tried dipping a Wendy's brand french fry into a Wendy's brand Frosty? It tastes so much better than you'd think.

 

[KingKickass]

When arguing with someone, say EXACTLY what they say but add a snarkier, more question-like tone then follow with your rebuttal to it. For some reason, maybe it's just me, it ALWAYS either ends the argument or makes them think about what they said since you're saying it back to them but also adding a douchey tone to it. Dunno, just something that doesn't sound like should work, but does.

 

[Risingblade]

Pizza and chocolate pudding

Potatoes chips and whipped cream

Grilled chicken and cake

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

It sounds utterly horrible when you read it, but it turned out to be really goddamn good O_O

If it sounded so disgusting, why did you try it in the first place?

You know what? Just because I'm curious, I'll actually try that. When I get a stomach bug or something, I'm not going to actively try to throw up just to test this.
Anyway.
There's a part pretty early in BlOps 2 where your on the side of cliff with your partner with a rope attaching you two and you use that rope to swing, freaking SWING across the cliff.

Start at the 3-minute mark


Strange, but practical, I have to say.

YES!

That shit is delicious!

OT: Hot sauce and Mac n Cheese, and I mean the really hot stuff.

I saw a friend of mine eat it years and years ago and thought that that was the nastiest thing you could do with the stuff, and then I tried some to make him happy. Boy, was I ignorant and no idea what I was missing.

It's so yummy.

 

[wottabout]

I have never been able to convince anyone else to try this, so I don't know whether it's just me, but when I have hiccups a spoonful of peanut butter always works immediately.

And to add a food combination that doesn't work, never buy peppermint Pringles. My dad got them as a gift and I went into it thinking they would be good, but they were horrible. It's a shame to throw away a near-full container of Pringles, but I don't think we can find eighty other people to try mint Pringles, and I doubt that anyone is going to eat more than one crisp.

Edit: Also, oysters and scrambled eggs work surprisingly well together, especially if you add some chopped onion and a little garlic.

you're just saying that so we'll get curious and try it and gag ourselves, aren't you? well i won't fall for your tricks.

OT: well, guess now's a good a time as any to repost one of my favorite desert combinations that people refuse to even try. chocolate chip cookies dipped in tartar sauce. divine. they really compliment each other.

I just tried it and it seemed to work, actually.

 

[Johann610]

You can use scissors on ANYTHING. I was delighted to try them in soup--when meat really is "fork tender", scooping it out to cut it is a big mess. Scissors go in, cut, and go--like an immersion blender.

 

[Erttheking]

French bread makes for a very good sub roll when I'm in mood for homemade steak and cheese.

 

[Basement Cat]

Peanut butter sandwiches with dill pickle slices! I discovered this combination in college. The pickles' tartness compliments the peanut butter surprisingly well. Crisp pickles give the sandwich a bit of crunchiness. Definitely worth a try.

If you want to hear something bizarre, I know a girl who can lick her own elbow. I was amazed.

A friend in High School was fat before he hit puberty, then when the hormones kicked in he grew several inches and lost so much weight so fast it left him with skin that was kinda...stretchy.

I remember he used to do his "Penthouse Pet impression" occasionally: He'd pull up his shirt, grab his pectoral flesh and pull it up enough for him to lick his own nipple. The rest of us would laugh and/or groan as if grossed out.

Like I said--it was High School.

 

[Dangit2019]

Pretzels and Yogurt. Not the strangest, but it's one that not a lot of people have tried.

 

[IamLEAM1983]

Uh... Fish fingers and custard? Who gets the reference?

Yeah, no. I got nothing. Nothing culinary, though.

A good contender for this could be skipping sleep entirely for at least one day. Tried it a couple times over Uni, mostly for the sake of blitzing through assignments. If you drink plenty of water and try to stay energized with natural stuff (meaning no Red Bull and very little coffee), you'll barely feel tired at all. Nuts and fruits plus walking breaks worked just fine for me.

That was awesome the first time around. After two days of this, though, my body more or less snuck up on me and shut down while I was reading in my bedroom. I woke up around 3 AM, with my sleep schedule now utterly borked for the next week.

So it's weird, it works, but use it with caution.

 

[Doclector]

Can't believe I didn't think of this in the OP, but more or less any Reese's products. Peanut butter. Chocolate. It should not work, but it does.
