These Restaurants Served Food in Unusual Ways, and Diners Weren't Loving It

The Straw of Doom

While some people love fine dining, others can’t resist the appeal of quick and convenient meals. Street food, for example, is a massive hit in China, offering bold flavors and on-the-go ease. But have you ever tried juggling a drink and a plate of food at the same time? It’s no easy feat, which is why the Cola/Xiaolongbao combo might seem like a clever solution

This pairing aims to simplify the struggle by combining a drink and a snack into one portable item. However, the idea of sipping Cola with a straw while dumpling flavors mix into the soda gives us the heebie-jeebies. Sure, it’s practical, but doesn’t the thought of savory broth mingling with sweet soda make you cringe? While we appreciate the convenience, the clash of flavors feels too bizarre to ignore. Would you try it, or does it cross the line for you too?
