According to the staff, these are the most bizarre orders ever.

Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: According to the staff, these are the most bizarre orders ever.

Extra salt on the fries, a salad to share for two, or a main course as an appetizer: sure, everyone has a request or a menu wish for the staff at some point. But some people really go overboard, as barista Kyle revealed on Twitter what he encountered at work. ‘Twelve pumps of orange syrup in your espresso? What?’

‘Dear bartenders and baristas, what is the weirdest request you have ever had? Me: an espresso with twelve (!!!) pumps of orange syrup. And that customer downed it in one gulp. Clearly not the first time he drank this.’

That was Kyle's message on Twitter. And dozens of fellow bartenders, waitresses, and baristas responded, each request more bizarre than the last. A selection:

- ‘A venti green iced tea with 23 packets of stevia. At the bottom of the cup was a thick layer of sludge. And the man who ordered it said: ‘Thanks, perfect.’

- ‘A lady asked for extra sauce for her pancakes with blueberries. So I brought syrup. No: it had to be ranch dressing. With. The. Pancakes.’

- ‘An old man asked if I could pour coffee into a cup, throw it away, and then fill the cup with hot water. That has a very vague coffee taste. I didn't charge him for it.’

- ‘As a waitress in a fancy restaurant, you hear the craziest requests,’ Anna says. ‘Water without fat, for example. And caviar, but make sure it doesn't taste too fishy. I had to hold back from laughing out loud,’ she writes.

- ‘In a sushi restaurant, guests asked for a bowl of butter. They smeared all the sushi with butter and sprinkled sweetener on top.’

- ‘In an ice cream shop, a lady ordered a lemon sorbet milkshake. I explained that a sorbet contains no milk, so the sorbet wouldn't taste as it should. But she replied: ‘I know exactly what I'm ordering, but I'm pregnant and that's what I'm craving.”

- A margarita with a salt rim, but the guest asked bartender Allie: ‘Can you lick the rim of my glass so the salt sticks well?’ Allie: ‘No.’

- ‘At Dunkin Donuts: a large coffee with 15 packets of powdered creamer and 15 packets of sugar in it. That cup was already more than half full before the coffee could go in.’

- ‘A guest walks into a hamburger restaurant to explain how she wants her hamburger cooked: ‘I want it burnt. Really, no joke. It has to be as black and hard as a hockey puck.‘

- ‘On the kitchen ticket: please a plate with two almonds, two dates, two cashews, and four walnuts. That was it.’

- ”A pizza funghi without mushrooms, please.’ ‘So you mean a pizza margherita?’ asks Robynne. ‘No, a pizza funghi.’ This guest paid extra for a pizza with mushrooms, without mushrooms.’

- ‘A guest ordered an expensive bottle of wine to impress his date. I opened it and poured the wine, but he didn't want it after all: supposedly it had bubbles. My colleagues and I drank the wine at lunch, delicious!‘

- ‘In a sandwich shop: a cinnamon roll with grilled tuna and pickles.’

- ‘A Caesar salad, but not with that classic dressing, but with ketchup.’

- ‘A beer glass half full of milk. But I worked in a bar...’
