Get Ready To Fall In Love With 'Nerdtella' Coffee -- That's Nutella And Nerds

Born out of a Sydney coffee shop with an obvious sugar addiction, we present you "The Nerdtella bomb."

This bizarre new food mashup sounds kind of horrible -- but it has us shamelessly intrigued.

Starting July 1, Piccolo Me will serve up a solid mixture of Nutella and Nerds on a stick alongside its lattes. Patrons will be instructed to drop the sugary stick into their drink, wait a minute to allow the chocolate-hazelnut-and-artificially-flavored-fruity-candy mixture to liquify, stir it a bit for good measure and fearlessly take a swig.

Coffee purists will be scandalized, probably, as culinary adventurists rejoice in another iteration of lowbrow food mingling with the highbrow. It's also worth noting that Piccolo Me has been bottling plain ol' Nutella iced coffee for a while -- which, to be fair, doesn't sound so different from an iced mocha or a Frappuccino.

We're not sure what prompted them to take it to the next level. But we commend their strange efforts.

Chicken Waffle Tenders

Popeyes decided that eating chicken and waffles on their own isn't as good as combining the two.

Brownie-Filled Cookie

When it comes to dessert, it can be hard to decide between a cookie or brownie. Chips Ahoy just made that decision a little easier by stuffing a chewy cookie with a brownie. We could get behind this.

Mashup Squared: Donut Ice Cream Sandwich

If there are donut breakfast sandwiches and Pop-Tart ice cream sandwiches, then obviously donut ice cream sandwiches should work well. <a href="http://astrodoughnuts.com/" target="_blank">Astro Doughnuts</a> in Washington, D.C. has debuted two flavors: raspberry verbena ice cream on a passion fruit donut sandwich and a mocha java ice cream on a chocolate donut sandwich.

Doritos Locos

Perhaps Doritos Locos tacos are the most well-known hybrid food. The Doritos taco shells have caught the fast food world by storm and they have been one of Taco Bell's most successful products ever.
