Celebrate National Get Funky Day with These Funky Food Combos

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Syracuse chapter.

October is usually thought of as spooky month, but there is one day of the year that is overshadowed by halloween bark and spider cookies, which is national get funky day. In order to celebrate national get funky day I went around Syracuse University and asked students what their favorite weird food combination is. Here are the 10 most unique food combos that I found. 

1.  Eggs & Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is the perfect topping to smear on top or to put on the side of your scrambled, over-easy or hard boiled eggs. 

2. Pineapples & Hot Sauce

The mix of sweet and salty makes pineapple and hot sauce a funky food combo (for extra spice sprinkle some chili powder on top). 

3. Pickles & Pizza

You might have thought pineapple on pizza is weird, but pickles on pizza is crunchy combination that fills your salty cravings. 

4. Tortilla Chips & Chocolate

Salsa is so un-funky! Dip your tortilla chips in melted chocolate for a salty and sweet surprise

5. Oreos & Jelly

Oreos and peanut butter are a classic, but have you ever tried jelly and Oreos? 

6. Pasta & Tuna

Plain pasta is just so bland! Add some tuna to it to give it some additional flavor. 

7. Ricotta & Pees

A seemingly unlikely paring (the textures are a little weird) however ricotta cheese and pees makes a perfect pair.

8. Doritos & Chocolate Milk

This dynamic duo might seem too funky at first, but dipping Doritos in chocolate milk is surprisingly tasty with the coolness of the milk and the spiciness of the Dorito.

9. Cheerios & Orange Juice

This is the funkiest creation that was found. Instead of using milk, orange juice is put into Cheerios for a two-in-one breakfast. 

10. Marshmallow Fluff & Cheetos
