Implications - Consumers are consistently hunting for novelty and ways in which they can impress other members of society with their courage. Catering to this desire are Asian food products that incorporate odd pairings, the result being unique products that would be considered strange in Western culture. Examples include crackers with wasps in them; ice cream in vegetable, jelly fish, squid gut and charcoal flavors; and salad-flavored water.
