The sweet, colorful swirls of Whirly Pop lollipops originated in the mid-20th century. While those candies might appear whimsical, this grape drink is anything but inviting. Even when poured over ice, Whirly Pop's Juicy Grape Soda is too sweet to enjoy, almost as if a real-life Candy Land has been melted and funnelled into a bottle.
It doesn't take long to realize Burger King's onion rings aren't the real deal. For starters, they're all exactly the same size - something anyone who's ever sliced an onion knows is impossible.

A glance at Burger King's own ingredient list reveals the truth. Of the 30 items that go into their rings, only four have anything to do with onions: dehydrated chopped onions, dehydrated minced onions, onion powder, and something simply called "onion flavor."
Mashed potatoes and chicken are the perfect pairing, and there is no denying that flavorful, creamy mashed potatoes served with gravy are the ultimate enhancer for any meal.

Cool Whip was a non-dairy alternative to whipped cream when it hit the market in 1966. But in the years since, milk ingredients have been added to its recipe. The blue tub currently contains sodium caseinate, a milk protein derivative, as well as skim milk and light cream elements. The byproduct is used as a thickening agent that is added to foods to help emulsify textures.
Dukkah is an Egyptian blend of spices, nuts, and seeds that's both flavorful and texturally interesting. There is incredible variation when it comes to different dukkah recipes, but some call for ingredients like almonds, pistachios, sesame seeds, fennel, coriander, cumin, and more.
