    A recent Reddit thread asked people to share an "underrated combination." While some suggested things like an evening shower and clean bedsheets (cozy!), many responses were food-based.

    So, here are some ~interesting~ food combinations that you might want to try the next time your tastebuds are bored!

    1. Tim Hortons white hot chocolate with an Earl Grey tea bag.

    This would be similar to a "London Fog" (Earl Grey latte), but the white hot chocolate makes it extra sweet and creamy.

    2. Cranberry juice, orange juice, and Sprite.

    Ocean Spray, Sprite

    This makes sense since you can get flavored versions of Sprite. This Redditor also recommended strawberry kiwi juice and apple juice mixed with Sprite.

    3. Sandwiches with potato chips inside.

    Sometimes it's all about the texture, and this combo adds some delicious crunch to your sandwich. Personally, I recommend salt and vinegar chips. If you like this one, you can also try fries in your burger.

    4. Popcorn and chocolate candy.

    The Reddit OP recommended M&Ms, Raisinets, or Reese's Pieces, and another Redditor even suggested a non-chocolate candy, Sour Patch Kids (apparently the sour sugar mixes with the popcorn salt). If you care about my two cents, I highly recommend Junior Mints.

    5. Lingonberry jam and Swedish meatballs with gravy.

    I can't say I've tried this one, but I'll trust this Swedish combo. After all, we eat cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving.

    6. Coffee and ice cream.

    Yes, coffee-flavored ice cream is a thing, but have you ever tried an affogato? It's espresso and ice cream and it's really, really good.

    7. Blueberry-flavored coffee.

    The Reddit OP clarifies that they first encountered blueberry-flavored coffee at a 7-Eleven, and have loved it ever since.

    8. Rum and root beer.

    Specifically, the OP suggested Captain Morgan's rum with A&W root beer, because both "are kind of creamy tasting." So toss those rum and Cokes aside.

    9. Cream cheese and pepper jelly.

    If you're from the South, you probably already know what pepper jelly is, but for everyone else: It's jelly, but made with hot peppers like jalapeños. Put it on Wheat Thins or whatever else floats your boat.

    10. Cream cheese and hot dogs.

    Apparently these are popular in Seattle, and I can see the appeal. Cream cheese is pretty much good on anything.

    11. Hot sauce and ranch.

    If you find yourself out of Sriracha sauce, this mixture will act as a pretty good stand-in. Big ups to ranch for being one of the most versatile condiments ever.

    12. Fried chicken and cheese fondue.

    For the health and safety of all our arteries, let's all agree to only try this one once, OK?

    According to others in the Reddit thread, lavender lattes are similarly delicious.

    14. Hot Cheetos and grilled cheese.

    You can also try crushing up some Hot Cheetos and putting them in your mac and cheese for another cheesy-spicy combo.

    15. Waffles and peanut butter.

    Anybody who eats Eggo waffles frequently has probably already tried this, but you could warm up some peanut butter and drizzle it on fresh waffles, too.

    16. Pineapple and salt.

    Other Redditors mentioned that sweet, juicy fruits like watermelon or mango will also work. You can also try Tajin instead of salt!

    17. Honey and pizza.

    Bonus points if it's Hot Honey.

    18. Peanut butter and pickles.

    The Reddit OP suggested putting these two items into a sandwich, but I suppose you could try just dipping pickles into peanut butter, too. Good luck.
