Award-winning cookbookauthorGrace Youngwas

in Chapel Hill, N.C.,promoting Stir-Frying to the

This weird flavor stuff may begetting tough to swallow in 2012.

Like BLT potato chips. PB&Jvodka. Birthday cake Oreos. Tacosmade of Doritos. Rainbow sherbetgum. And, for the strong of stom-ach, bacon milkshakes.

At issue: Are marketers reachingto the very limits of their powers toextend and differentiate theirbrands in order to attract attention

and ring up sales in very toughtimes, or have Americas taste budsreally become this wacky?

It appears to be the latter.Hasnt every 8-year-old wanted togross out the adult in the room?poses Lynn Dornblaser, new prod-uct innovation guru at researchspecialist Mintel. Now, your inner8-year-old can do just that.

Among 2012s rollouts that dareconsumers to try them:

BLT chips. Frito-Lay spent oneyear developing the Lays chipthats hitting grocery shelves thismonth. It tested 25 versions beforenailing it, says Christine Kalvenes,

VP of innovation. We are constant-ly experimenting to push the enve-lope.

PB&J vodka. Its not a PRstunt, but Im getting more PR thanI bargained for, says Norman Bon-chick, CEO of Van Gogh Imports,which this month rolled out $25bottles of PB&J vodka. He concedesit may attract the attention of kids,but, Its the responsibility of theparent not to keep it out.

Birthday cake Oreos. To cele-brate Oreos 100th birthday inMarch, Kraft rolled out BirthdayCake Oreos with birthday cakeflavor and sprinkles in the cream.
