Have you ever come across a food item that sounds absolutely horrible… until you actually tried it? I’m guilty of it. I once was in a restaurant in Omaha with some family members, and they kept telling me how good the place’s PB&J Burger was. Peanut butter and jelly on a hamburger? No thank you. And then I actually ordered it and tried it. Let me tell you, there’s something about the way the ground beef and peanut butter blended together into this creamy, meaty conglomeration that was absolutely tasty. And any time you combine fruit and meat is a winner. All in all, it was something that shouldn’t have worked — but it did.
We’ve all come across things like this, I’m sure. Grocery store shelves and restaurant menus are full of things that just shouldn’t exist – chocolate-covered crickets? Flamin’ Hot Mountain Dew? Lobster ice cream? Some mad scientist made all of them, and they’ve all sold. Sometimes they even go viral and take on a life of their own.
