A bit of a random subject, but it just popped into my head. So, Halloween is coming around the corner, and it's a time of cramming sugar and chemicals into your face. Any  sweets or deserts or whatever you've tried or seen somewhere that you found utterly bizarre? Can be from your own country, or it can be foreign.

I don't really try much myself, 'cause I'm really picky, but lately I have seen a couple of weird ones in the stores here in Norway. One is potato chips with "ham and honey" flavour. I have not tried it, but it sounds horrible. The other weird thing I've seen is apple crisps, as in slices of apples that have been fried and salted and whatnot in the same manner as potatoes. It sounds weird, but eh, I'm not gonna judge.
Personally, there's really only two foreign things I can think of at the moment. I haven't really tried a lot of foreign candy apart from chocolate, but I did try some weird stuff that someone at my school a couple of years back bought.
One of the weird ones that I can remember was this Japanese cupcakey thing, except it wasn't actually a cupcake, it was sort of a jelly blob with some strawberry jam inside. The taste was alright, but the texture... Very strange, it was like rubber.
The other thing I tried back then were American poptarts. People eat this stuff for breakfast? >_> Really? I could understand if you ate it for desert (even though I personally found them revolting and way too sweet), but breakfast? Seems like just having an apple or a slice or bread something would be a lot healthier.

On that note, why does it seem like most of the world hates licorice? As in black licorice, not the fake red kind. It seems like people only like it in the Nordics, Netherlands and to some extent in Britain. And salty licorice apparently isn't even sold outside of said countries, which just seems really weird to me since it's one of the most popular candies here in Norway. I suppose salty licorice would probably be considered a weird foreign candy to many of you guys.

Tbh I i'm in love with Salmiakki it's my favourite food, which is annoying cus it's never sold here in Australia so I'd usually get some off my Swedish friend. I'm disappointed that a lot of people hate it like black liquorice
