Weird Snack Stories!

Okay, I’ve been dying to learn-

What is a snack you thought was weird or gross, but ended up being pretty good?

I’d love you hear your stories!

I’ll go first!

The Yogurt-Covered Cranberries

Ahem

Earlier this year, me and my school’s band class grade 9’s (and a select few 8’s, including me) went to Banff for band camp.

The first day there, me and my bestie wanted a snack for the hockey game on tv that night.

We went to the IGA, and we bought:

A 2l Jarrito pop bottle

Popcorn

Caesar Salad kits

A Huge bag of pistachios

And Some Gatorade

We got to the checkout and me and my bestie had all the things we needed, or so we thought.

Just before we got in line, I turned to him and said “Wait. Before we get in line, let’s find the strangest candy or treat we’ve ever heard of, and buy it.”

We went to the candy section, and of all the selections, only one caught my eye.

The Yogurt-Covered Cranberries

I turned to him and said “We have just got to buy some of this. It’ll be so weird!”

We bought roughly 300g, and returned to the practice pick-up sight, where we waited for the rest of the classes to get there.

We ate our salads (practically tore them apart) and joked about Glitch Production stuff and SMG4 stuff.

After about 30 minutes, we got bored.

I told my bestie “Let’s try those cranberries, huh?”

He agreed and we brought them out.

He tried the first one, and the expression on his face was so silly I nearly choked on mine.

The surprise was, they weren’t half bad.

In fact, they ended up being one of my favourite snacks.

That was a fun day.

I’m going to do it again next year:)

For those who made it to the end, congratulations and that is my story!

(And remember, NO JUDGEMENT!)

Ooooh I have a story!

When I visited Thailand, me and my family went to an evening market and decided to get some food. My sibling got some rice bowl, and my parents found a ramen thing.

I was still trying to find something to eat, until I spotted it. Crocodile on a stick. First of all, I was nervous, as I had never eaten CROCODILE before!

In the end, I got it and put some saucy stuff on it and it actually tasted really nice, and tasted a bit like chicken! So yeah, if you ever get the chance to try crocodile, it’s worth it!

idk if this counts but i hollowed out a big strawberry and drank from it cuz we didn’t have strawberry juice and it was really good ngl

Milk chocolate chips dipped in pickle juice and salt :rofl::rofl::rofl:

So basically me and some friends were playing poison with chocolate chips, and the punishment for losing was dip your chocolate chip in pickle juice and salt. I proceeded to lose cuz I’m bad at life, and I ate one. I then proceeded to grab a handful, throw them in the juice, and start eating. My friends joined in because it was good for them too :smiling_face_with_tear:

(Also Ik ACD said no judging but ahem u can judge I don’t mind in this scenario lol)

One day, I ate some coypu pâté: I thought it was going to taste really bad, but it actually tasted like pork pâté… well, at least in my opinion :eyes:

coypu = ragondin in French
