Food media Would you like Funky Fries with those canned dandelion greens?

I found a pair of interesting, if less than appetizing, stories about weird food products online, both of which originated with Mental Floss. "Funky Fries and other foods that flopped" names some genuinely strange foods that never caught on with the American public, including “Gerber Singles,†i.e., baby food packaged for unmarried adults. Somewhat more conventional is "Six canned foods we’re reluctant to try," including dandelion greens. They all sound like items you’d stumble across at a store, and then dare somebody to eat them. The comments field in the latter story offers additional ones.
