Jellygrill Sandwich is processed food madness at its finest. The recipe calls for slathering grape jelly (obviously with high fructose corn syrup), some highly processed Velveeta cheese, and of course, white bread. Top it off by spreading the outside of the bread with good old hydrogenated oil margarine.
Why stop at one questionable ingredient when you can pile on several? Finally, ingest the sandwich hot or cold. Thanks, but no thanks! The Jellygrill Sandwich is a shining example of what not to eat if you value your health and sanity. Our thoughts go out to the unfortunate kids who opened their lunch boxes only to find this monstrosity lurking inside.
Scotch Eggs
The enigma known as Scotch Eggs. The name hints at a connection to the famous Scotch whisky, but what lies beneath this bizarre creation? Who in the world came up with the idea of combining hard or soft-boiled eggs with mysterious sausage meat? That’s quite the head-on collision of flavor and texture.
Being coated in breadcrumbs only adds another layer of mystery to this dish. You can’t help but wonder if the creator of this dish was three sheets to the wind on whisky. Because some kind of crazy spirit had to be involved in the making of Scotch Eggs. Right?
Peppermint Popcorn Tree

It might look like your typical Jell-O treat, but oh no it isn’t! The hero of this dessert is (drum roll) cornstarch. Cornstarch is no stranger in the kitchen, but its appearance in this peculiar dessert leaves us confused.

Gather cornstarch, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract, and voila – you have yourself the Cornflour Mold.
It's a dessert that defies all expectations, and you're supposed to love it. It was often served with a side of canned fruit (of course, it was canned fruit). If you were feeling particularly mischievous, you could even transform this recipe into an economical mousse to further torture unsuspecting family members.
