Top 8 weirdest food gimmicks

Every month, food manufacturers release a new Frankenfood into the market—the equivalent of edible clickbait. The formula is cynical and predictable. Take two ’80s junk foods laced with sodium, sugar and nostalgia, and mash them together. The result has the nutritional equivalent of a Buzzfeed article—and unfortunately for your weight loss, they're just as popular. Restaurant Brands, the parent company of Burger King and Taco Bell, home of the craziest gimmicks in recent months, saw sales rise 25 percent this year—an all time high.

Eat This, Not That! has spent the last decade analyzing the worst of the worst Frankenfoods, from Frito’s Pizza to the Waffle Taco. With the release of the latest monstrosity—Swedish Fish Oreos!—we took the top 10 most popular and currently available meals into our Food Lab and ranked them nutritionally. Here they are, in order from “best” to worst—and for more shocking food choices.
