Okay, but did you know if you take a lemon, put some cinnamon on it, this should taste like Coca-Cola? I thought we could try these weird food combinations together that are supposed to taste like other food. First up is banana and avocado and that should taste like ice cream. I could see it. Lemon and cucumber should taste like lime. That's a lime. Cucumber with sugar should also taste like watermelon. That's kind of crazy. Made with sugar should taste like a strawberry. I don't know how that worked. Tasted strawberry. And the salty potato chips with a tomato in between should taste like pizza. When you said that was the most obvious one and yeah, she's right. This is supposed to taste like Coca-Cola. Yeah. That's crazy. Melon and banana should taste like bubblegum. Really tastes like bubblegum. Like how? What other combos can we do?

Is this the power of suggestion? My own tips: make sure the potato chip is salty, kind of reminds me of a margarita pizza Press the cucumber and the tomato IN the sugar versus sprinkling on top. I thought this was so fun! I can’t wait to try more. Thanks for the idea @Eat with GG #foodcombinations
