You can get chicken flavored crackers when you buy Chicken in a Biscuit. Why can’t you buy chicken flavored popcorn? I would definitely buy chicken corn, though I’ll admit that the majority of people I mention it to are horrified. A few years back, I remember buying tiramisu flavor ice cream (or possibly gelato). Was I the only one who loved tiramisu ice cream (or possibly gelato)? Why can you buy white chocolate macadamia nut cookies but not generally regular chocolate macadamia nut cookies? Which flavor combinations are missing in your life? ---

Trader Joe’s sells tiramisu ice cream. It’s pretty good, too. I’d like a plain coconut smoothie. Not a tropical- or pina colada-flavored smoothie, no, because I don’t want pineapple or any other fruit interfering with the flavor. The closest I can come to my dream is by indulging in Haagen-Dazs coconut sorbet. _sigh_ Oh, the sacrifice. ---

We have grape soda, grape kool-aid, and grape popsicles. Why don’t we have grape ice cream? ---

You can get a Sonic Creamslush in all of those flavors. I think it’s the flavor blended with ice cream. However they’re made, I was addicted to them last summer. ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > Why can’t you buy chicken flavored popcorn? I’m wondering if one could take popping kernels and use schmaltz instead of oil, perhaps some poultry spice or other evocative herbage along with the de rigeur salt. Not allowed to eat popcorn presently else I’d try it for you. ---

How about peanut butter Cadbury eggs. They’ve got every flavor under the frigging sun-but NEVER peanut butter. What gives? ---

Use chicken soup base for your popcorn seasoning. ---

While I was drinking rose lassi in an Indian restaurant, it occurred to me that I want rose flavored hard candy. Rose Lifesavers would be great. ---

There was a cartoon years back in Playboy…scene from an Ice Cream parlor where the flavors listed are Wood, Egg, Liver, Corn, and Vanilla (or something to that effect) and the employee is telling the customer…“We’re out of vanilla”. They used to have Clove Lifesavers…nasty 😛 What about hazelnut-chocolate milk (syrup or powder)? ---

> [@Mixolydian](#): > > They used to have Clove Lifesavers…nasty 😛 Necco Wafers still include a clove flavor. (I always thought it was some horrible version of grape, since the wafer is purple.) I don’t know how that compares to the Lifesavers version though… ---

More things need to come in flower flavours. Parma violets are deeply unsatisfying, and I’d like the Flavigny sweets better wihtout the anise seeds. ---
