It’s no secret that the world is filled with a wonderful diversity of delicious foods and snacks. After all, that’s what Munchpak is all about!
But, as it turns out, the world has some pretty crazy interpretations of soda too… so here’s a list of my strangest favourites.
Would you dare to try these insane soda flavours from around the globe?
Black Garlic, Switzerland
Laobamas Black Garlic Soda is based in Hong Kong, but is supposedly Swiss made. While I have no idea what black garlic tastes like, the drink is apparently super refreshing and void of garlicky smells. Still, is that a chance you’re willing to take…?
White fungus and bird’s nest, Vietnam
Fun fact: Bird’s nest is actually a super expensive superfood used in Chinese cuisine. Combine it with white fungus, and we get this wild Wonderfarm drink that is said to have a very sweet taste and er… slimy, thick texture.
Salty Watermelon Pepsi, Japan
It’s a popular food hack to sprinkle salt on your watermelon to bring out the sweetness, but how about in soda…? Oh Japan, you have it all.
Turkey and gravy, USA
For real Thanksgiving fanatics, Jones Soda created this limited time flavour in 2003. Beats drinking straight gravy, right? Maybe?
Celery, USA
If you don’t like eating your greens, Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray soda brings you a way to try drinking them instead. I know it sounds strange, but with a 5 star rating on Amazon, aren’t you at least a little bit curious?
Kimchi and takoyaki, Japan
Ramune is one of Japan’s most beloved brands of soda, and they have a pretty insane arsenal of savoury flavours, including kimchi, takoyaki and even curry.
Dandelion and burdock, UK
Historically made with fermented dandelion and burdock, today this fizzy treat is super popular in the UK. While many brands no longer use much of these two plants, their original inclusion was due to their positive impact on liver health.
Eel, Japan
This stuff is the r-Eel deal. In Japan, eel is considered a real energy booster, which is why Unagi-Nobori soda might just be the ultimate energy drink… Sorry, Red Bull.
Tree bark, the Caribbean
Have you ever looked at a tree and thought: “I’d love to drink that”? Well, Mauby Fizz has got you covered! This soda is created by boiling tree bark with sugar and a variety of spices. It’s super popular in the Caribbean, but um… probably an acquired taste.
Ranch dressing, USA
No explanation needed. Lester’s Fixins has a ranch flavoured soda, so if you want that saladdy taste without the hard work of chewing, here’s your new best friend:
