Earlier this week Mars Inc. launched a web-based video series called “The Combos Files” where chef Graham Elliot Bowles takes outrageous flavor combinations submitted by fans of the snack over the years and makes them reality. According to a press release announcing the series, some of these flavors have included ketchup and eggs, pickles and ice cream and Jalapenos and habanero.

In the videos Bowles enlists the services of WWE superstars Eve Torres and Chicago native CM Punk, NASCAR driver Kyle Busch, and Chicago Bears Devin Hester and Robbie Gould as they taste test the new flavor combinations.

The first video below features Torres and Punk in something called “The Haba-Sabi Challenge”—a tasting of wasabi-habanero Combos.

In the second video, Bowles combines the favorite Combos flavors of Hester and Gould to create “The Robbie Hester.”

New episodes will premiere weekly on Combos' Facebook page.
