It's said, "to each their own," and this saying also applies to the food we eat. Still, if someone saw us dipping French fries into ice cream or a milkshake, we would risk getting a "bombastic side eye" from a passerby.

Ironically, this is one of the least weird food combos that exist in the world! Blame a spike in hormones, call it a guilty pleasure or exquisite taste, but many of these so-called strange food combos actually work and are enjoyed by many. Even served in fine-dining restaurants!

It's known that salty foods go so well with sweet ones; hence, no wonder many weird but good food combos involve pairing the two. However, how weird can the weird get? We could probably agree that the weirdest food combos don't seem like they can co-exist on the same plate or be in one's mouth simultaneously. And having to eat those together might sound like a TikTok challenge that could go viral.

Though certain weird combinations of food can upset your stomach and cancel your later-day plans, not all weird food combinations are a strict no-go and, once tried, might become a staple in your diet regime! We are not implying you should be pouring maple syrup over your bacon, but at the same time, you could!

If you are open to discovering crazy food combinations that some people swear by and actually see yourself trying something new, keep on scrolling. Below, we've compiled some of the weirdest food combinations that will either excite your taste buds or make you question (again) where humanity went wrong. And if you aren't picky about your food pairings or have a stomach of steel, who knows, you might find a dinner option there!

Tried any of these weird food pairings? Give them an upvote! Perhaps there's a weird food combo you encounter often, yet it hasn't been mentioned in the list? Let us know in the comments!

Watermelon And Salt

Watermelon sprinkled with salt

If you haven't tried this combination, you would assume that salt will dry up the watery, sweet flavor of the watermelon. The exact opposite, though, is true. Apparently, a dash of salt can actually improve the taste of the watermelon's inherent sweetness!

    This...this is it. You can do anything with Ramen noodles. Add an egg, add vegis, add meat. Geeze don't just eat the noodles unless that is what you want.

    Oreos And Orange Juice

    Oreo cookie dipped in orange juice

    This weird food combination may have potential considering that both orange and chocolate are popular flavors. Like milk, orange juice softens the cookie while infusing it with a sweet, citrusy flavor. Yet, can it beat the Oreo & milk combo? Absolutely not.

    Sriracha And Peanut Butter

    Sriracha and peanut butter sandwich

    Although the peanut butter and sriracha combo will never be superior to the good ol' PB&J, sriracha has that sweet aftertaste, too, but without the sugar rush effect! Definitely an odd pairing, but definitely worth a try.

    Green Apples And Salsa

    Lunch box with salsa and apples

    Why wouldn't green apples work well in salsa if fruits like pineapples and mangoes do? They offer a tangy flavor and help to balance the heat in spicy dishes with their acidic taste; hence, we can see the potential!

    Mustard And Oreos

    Oreo cookie with mustard on top

    Apparently, the 2020 TikTok trend which involves adding mustard to an Oreo and eating it has put down roots. And although it may seem an odd combination to some (us included), quite a few people actually like the pairing.

    I try to be open minded and don't think it's anyone's place to tell another what is good or bad as far as food but that is an abomination before Man and God.

    um, this is a very common Southern sandwich, and has been since the 1930s, famously Dale Earnhardt said its his favorite

    Blackberry And Rosemary

    Coctails with rosemary

    Both blackberry and rosemary have intense flavors — the former is sweet and tart, and the latter is savory and bitter. Yet the rosemary's tangy flavor and subtle zing go very well with the blackberry's sweetness. We can definitely see mixologists experimenting with this combo!

    Cheetos And Milk

    Bowl of Cheetos chips and glass of milk

    You may now have milk with something other than cereal at breakfast. Apparently, these cheesy nibbles pair well with sweet milk. However, if you do try this concoction, we do recommend hanging around by a bathroom, at least for the first hour or so.

    You use both sweet and miso when balancing flavours in a lot of Asian cooking so this isn't much of a stretch

    Tbh as an European I just can't understand the faszination with Oreos. I tried them first as an adult and was really dissapointed. I imagined them to taste more like chocolate /cocoa and cream, but they were just bland compared to other store-bought cookies..

    Spaghetti With Yogurt

    Plate of spaghetti with nuts and yogurt sauce

    According to people, this odd pairing actually works. Apparently, the pasta serves as a hearty and fulfilling base, while the yogurt gives the spaghetti a creamy texture and tangy taste. Though doubtful, we are actually willing to try this one!

    I’ve used it in place of Alfredo/cream sauce and in tuna casserole instead of Anne’s cream soups. It can work.

    Cold Pizza Dipped In Soda

    Slice of pizza dipped in soda

    Our initial thought — someone certainly was under the influence when they attempted this. Let's be fair; we wouldn't specifically dip a pizza slice in soda. However, if we accidentally spilled some soda on it, well, you obviously won't throw the slice away! But dipping it on purpose — that's in the red zone of our weird-o-meter.

    Mexicans do enjoy hot sauce-topped popcorn; perhaps the American analog of this topping may be ketchup. And honestly, this can’t taste too bad. Sticky fingers are guaranteed, though.

    Um, not just Mexicans like hot sauce on everything…we the people also like ketchup flavored potato chips.
