I so want to try that but alas I can't. Its not just that thought. You can get all kinds of yummy flavour things like Wine flavour Kit-Kats. And then there are Pokey and Pretz two popular treats that come in all kinds of flavour from seaweed to tomato to mellon to the darkest chocolate.

So what would you like to see as a flavour for a drink or a snack or what do you have as a local/regional treat that bucks tradition and is oh so yummy?

Not sure where all you can get these but they taste like

And nothing like crabs.
 
Yeah... There are not many flavours to choose from in the US, regarding potato chips and such.

My guess it is because people don't like to change flavours, so companies discontinue the exotic stuff and become more reluctant to market other kinds of flavours.

It happened in Spain with cherry coke. The flavour didn't work very well in the Spanish market, so they discontinued it.

There is a good article (in Spanish, sorry) in this freaky web-page about flavours and junk food that didn't succeed in Spain. Su enlace aqui (some pics worth seeing ;) ) (specially the potato chips with pickle flavour)
 
In Egypt, they have chicken-flavored chips (among other flavors). Not bad, actually.
 
Cucumber-flavored soda? Meh...doesn't sound nearly as bad as the celery-flavored soda that seems to be a hit among the Jewish population here for some reason.

Celery is good. Is it in the city proper? Can I get out on LongIsland in a deli?
 
Since I don't get out to Long Island (I've got no real reason to be there, so I never bother to hop the LIRR in), maybe. Dr. Brown's makes a celery-flavored soda that might be found in some Jewish delis and supermarkets.

Edit: Or you could always find some on the web.
 
Thanks for the link but since I don't have an aunt that lives on the interwebs and will buy me things and ship them to me for free........
 
Online you can order a Holiday Pack of soda from Jones soda, which has turkey and gravy soda, sweet potato soda, dinner roll soda, pea soda, and antacid flavored soda. No kidding.

People are weird.
 
I've heard that their turkey soda is quite good. Though I doubt I'll be trying it soon.

Lots of chicken flavor crisps in the uk, plain chicken, roast chicken or the undesputed champ lemon and thyme chicken.

Marmite crisps were wonderful.

Are Twiglets not basically the same thing. Wheat based so not strictly speaking crisps, but same diference.
 
I want some ginger flavored candies. There's never enough ginger. Also, I've only seen one candy bar with honey in it. Why hasn't someone jumped on that ship yet?
 
O RLY?

You spelt flavour correctly though which is unusual on this forum.
 
I disagree,

In the USA, we got sour-cream and chives, kettle cooked, regular, barbeque, Old bay, and chili-flavored. Plus you can get potatoe-veggie chips (flour of both mixed together), and the odd potatoe-family variants like cassava.
