Foods that should taste the same... but don't

It just doesn't make sense...

Have you ever run out of penne and had to have your pesto pasta with spaghetti instead? They should taste the same, but everyone knows the shape of the pasta makes a massive difference. Some foods should taste the same, but definitely don't.

A big contender in this weird category of foods that should taste the same is those combo mixes of crisps. Whether you’re a fan of the tubes or the wavy shells, I’m sure you can agree that no two crisps have the same taste. Anytime I tuck into a bag I’m usually left with all the puffy wheels at the end (which I will still eat of course) although there should be no reason for this as they all have the same flavouring. 

Whether you’re a fan of the tubes or the wavy shells, I’m sure you can agree that no two crisps have the same taste.

Next up on the list is the humble Dairy Milk. It comes in all forms ranging from the little ones you get in Heroes, Buttons, and bars- and don’t even get me started on the number of different bars you can get. There are the big ones, the little ones with the pictures on, and the classic ‘bubbly’ ones you’d get in a selection pack. I’m a firm believer that the thin little bars are the best. Something about the thinness gives it more of a snap which in some strange way makes it taste better to me, but I won’t hold any grudges if you prefer buttons as they are definitely a close second. 

Finally, and potentially the most divisive option yet, is Coca-Cola. You can get it in a can, a glass bottle, a plastic bottle, and in a glass from the pub to name a few. Something about a glass bottle makes it feel crisper and more of a treat, perhaps making it taste better. However you enjoy it, I hope we can all agree that Coke from a plastic bottle just doesn’t taste the same as an icy glass of Coke on a hot day.
