The "what were they thinking" concepts for food products

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

Not really due to the product itself, but the iSnack 2.0s name. It was a new brand of vegemite they were releasing. They actually held a contest to decide who could come up with the best name and that one won!


wtf!

Isn't a donut burger called a bagel? I mean it's a donut that's been cut in half... it still has the hole in the middle and everything... just doesn't have sugar on the top usually..

No, a doughnut (unneccessary extra Engligh spelling FTW!) is cake based, so it's inherently sweet, whereas a bagel is bread based, so it's quite savoury.

The worst thing I'be ever seen is this:

Sugar Puffs are the most sickly sweet of all British breakfast cereals, to add cocoa powder into the imx and make them taste chocolatey as well is just dire.

Wow, that takes me back. What's the BBE date on those? 1980something?

Although I can certainly see what they were thinking, this is easily the most disgusting shit I've ever seen:

I...

I really want to try that donut burger. It's making me sallivate.

A lot of you are too young to remember Crystal Pepsi [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Pepsi]:


Yep. Basically caffeine-free Pepsi with the caramel coloring left out. It went over about as well as you would expect.

from what I've heard, it was basically all natural Pepsi, and I've heard some people say it was even better than regular pepsi. I hope they bring it back, if only as a limited time thing,

Oh look, a thread about haggis and surströmming!

I believe this calls for my trump card.

Big black dick hot sauce. The hottest sauce around apparently. Yeah, this shit's actually sold, and is quite popular.

Cheese and meat. why would anyone!

So, no cheeseburgers? No (non-vego) pizzas? No ham and cheese rolls?

OT: A lot of these are pretty bad, but they aren't horrifying. I can fix that: http://www.cracked.com/article_14979_the-6-most-terrifying-foods-in-world.html

I remember as a kid I had green tomato sauce. If I remember right, it also came in blue and purple. Also, my local fish and chip shop sells deep fried Mars Bars.

They were launched in '81. I think they were only made for a year or two.

I think it was longer than that, I remember getting them in Infant school and junior school and the package changed over time. I think they were only really common in health food shops after a while. My sister remembers them and she was born in 84 so they probably went into the late 80's at least.

In Denmark we drink a lot of milk, and many people also like orange juice, so naturally someone at the big dairy products company though of this:
