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.

Lizzo: Watermelon & Mustard

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.

Gene Simmons: Cereal & Ice Cubes

Listening to Ice Cube while we eat our cereal sounds like a great morning. Cereal with ice cubes.... not so much.

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.

Saweetie: Spaghetti & Ranch Dressing

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

Albums So Popular You’d Never Guess They Came From Indie Labels

“Independent” usually sounds like small-scale, under-the-radar, maybe even a little niche. But every so often, an album comes along that completely breaks that perception—huge sales, massive cultural impact, and somehow still technically indie.

Troy Donahue came to Hollywood to chase fame—but as the spotlight dimmed, something far more dangerous was rising behind it.

Like countless dreamers who’d follow in his footsteps, Troy Donahue arrived in Hollywood chasing immortality on the silver screen. And for a brief, glittering moment, he caught it. By the late 1950s, he wasn’t just famous; he was inescapable, the kind of star studios built entire fantasies around. But Hollywood devotion is fickle, and as the spotlight dimmed, something far more dangerous was rising behind it.

Movies That Clearly Deserved Best Picture At The Oscars—But Lost Anyway

The Oscars love a dramatic moment, but sometimes the real drama happens when the wrong movie wins. Every year, at least one film walks in as the obvious choice—critically adored, widely discussed, and seemingly unbeatable—only to leave empty-handed while something safer takes the crown. And years later, those decisions start to look…questionable.

Liberace’s lavish lifestyle and flamboyant person hid a lifetime of pain and heartbreak.

Liberace came from humble beginnings but went on to redefine the very character of showmanship and performance. Behind his lavish lifestyle and flamboyant persona, however, he could never truly reveal the person he really was.

Who else loved Simon & Simon and thinks it’s a totally underappreciated 80s show?

For most people, the answer is “never.” For some of us, it’s “honestly... not that long ago.” It doesn’t get the same 80s nostalgia hype as Magnum, P.I., The A-Team, or Remington Steele, but Simon & Simon was a real hit back in the day-and somehow ended up one of the most underappreciated shows of that entire era.
