Very Strange Food Combinations Celebs Love


This Isn't Peanut Butter & Chocolate

There are some foods that we all know go so well together, and then there are other food combos that—if we're being honest—sound super strange (and possibly not very appetizing). But what if we told you a famous celebrity loved it? Would that change your willingness to try it?

Selena Gomez: Popcorn With Tabasco Sauce &..... Pickle Juice

The Tabasco we can totally get behind, but the pickle juice we're not so sure about. Gomez has called the latter "optional" though. But that isn't Gomez's only combo that has pickles in it.

Selena Gomez: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups & Pickles

For this one, she doesn't dip it in the juice but actually places pickle slices right on the Reese's cup and chows down.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Banana & Mayo Sandwich

In 2016 Earnhardt Jr. tweeted a photo of the combo and declared to his followers that he was making his favorite sandwich. "I swear it's delicious," he said.

During a 2022 radio interview, Lizzo admitted to eating what she even called "disgusting" food combos. "I’ll do mustard and watermelon" she said.

Kylie Jenner: Pepperoni & Pineapple Pizza

The strangeness of this one will come down to where you fall on the very controversial pineapple on pizza debate

Adrienne Bailon: Tuna Salad With Fruit Punch

The That's So Raven star says "that's so good" to tuna salad mixed with fruit punch. She has also been known to then dip her tuna salad sandwich in more fruit punch for an even sweeter finish.

Bella Ramsey: Cornflakes And Bran With Dried Strawberries & Orange Juice

Cereal and orange juice for breakfast doesn’t sound strange at all. But what if we told you Ramsey isn't drinking the juice—she's pouring it on her cereal instead of milk!

Katie Lee: Mayonnaise & Sweet Pickles Sandwich

Okay, so this one was the Food Network star's pregnancy craving. No idea if she still eats them.

Jennifer Lawrence: Chilli Pizza Sandwich

What is a chilli pizza sandwich you ask? Well, according to J. Law it's something she invented, and she described it like this to Glamour magazine back in 2016: "You have a piece of pizza, you put chilli in it with noodles, like southern chilli with noodles, and then another piece of pizza and then you eat it like a sandwich.

Giada De Laurentiis: Cookies & Lemonade

We want to trust her because she's a big time celebrity chef. But dipping Milano cookies or Nilla wafers in lemonade... we might just stick with good ol' fashion milk.

Padma Lakshmi: PomToast

The "pom" stands for pomegranate. This combo starts with a slice of sourdough bread, on which Lakshmi spreads a layer of peanut butter. She then tops it off with pomegranate seeds.

Jake Owen: Peanuts & Coca-Cola

The country music star got this one from his dad, who told him, "Son, there’s something about the mix of the Coca-Cola and the salt that makes it really nice." He's been dipping his peanuts in Coke ever since.

Dove Cameron: Brownies & Ranch Dressing

Cameron says she discovered the weird combo when she was a kid—which makes total sense. What we can't comprehend is that after trying it again as an adult, she doubled down on how good it is.

Adele: Potato Chips & Worcestershire Sauce

Adele doesn't just dip her Ready Salted Walkers potato chips in Worcestershire sauce. She dumps the stuff into the chip bag and shakes it all up. Not being wasteful, the singer even drinks the bag juice.

Jamie Oliver: Sausage Pizza & Grapes

We know how angry some people get about pineapple on pizza. So, how do you feel about grapes?

Zach Shallcross: Pancakes With Mustard And Syrup

We don't judge the choices Zach made when he was the Bachelor. But mustard on pancakes...we're judging.

Saweetie: Oysters & Barbecue Sauce, Hot Sauce, and Lemon Juice

The rapper says the combination "gives a little twang to" the dish. But wait, there's more Saweetie.

Again ranch dressing makes an appearance. And again, it sounds...really not good.

Films That Used Real People Instead Of Actors—And Pulled It Off

Hollywood loves control—marks on the floor, lines rehearsed to a T, emotions calibrated to the exact second. So when a filmmaker tosses all that out and lets real people wander into the frame, it feels like a gamble bordering on chaos. But sometimes that chaos is exactly what gives a movie its pulse.

The Best TV Character Exits Ever (And The Ones We’re Trying To Forget)

TV shows ask us to invest years of our lives in fictional people. We watch them grow, fail, fall in love, make unforgivable mistakes, and sometimes become better versions of themselves. So when a character leaves before a series ends, it can feel like a breakup—one that either gives you emotional closure or leaves you staring at the screen wondering what just happened.
