How can we possibly get fatter as a nation? Texas has a solution!
I saw this on yahoo news this morning….
Because we don’t already have enough fried foods..
Fri Oct 27, 8:34 AM ET
A new fast food is making its debut at U.S. fairs this fall — fried Coke.
Abel Gonzales, 36, a computer analyst from Dallas, tried about 15 different varieties before coming up with his perfect recipe — a batter mix made with Coca-Cola syrup, a drizzle of strawberry syrup, and some strawberries.
Balls of the batter are then deep-fried, ending up like ping-pong ball sized doughnuts which are then served in a cup, topped with Coca-Cola syrup, whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry on the top.
“It tastes great,” said Sue Gooding, a spokeswoman for the State Fair of Texas where Gonzales’ fried Coke made its debut this fall. “It was a huge success.”
Gonzales ran two stands at the State Fair of Texas and sold up to 35,000 fried Cokes over 24 days for $4.50 each — and won a prize for coming up with “most creative” new fair food.
Now other fairs in North Carolina and Arizona are following the trend, and other people are trying to emulate Gonzales’ recipe.
Gonzales gave no indication of the calories in his creation and said he would not patent it.
“The best I can hope for is that it’s the original and hopefully the best fried Coke out there,” he said.
But Gonzales said the success of his fried Coke had inspired him. Next year’s fair-goers can look forward to fried Sprite or — for those watching their weight — fried diet Coke.
“We are trying to cut a lot of the sugar out of it. It has less calories but it’s still very, very sweet,” he said.
Ray Crockett, a spokesman for Coca-Cola Co., said: “We’re constantly amazed at the creative ways folks find to enjoy their Coke and make it part of celebrations like fairs and festivals. This is one is definitely different!”
_____________________________________________________
I have expressed my love for the deep fryer before in this entry: Derek Jeter and the Winter of the Deep Fryer.
But things have officially gone to far. First the deep fried Twinkie and now this? I sat here for close to twenty minutes trying to think of things that would be as unhealthy or even worse than this.
All I could come up with is:
Deep fried cotton candy- If you can deep fry a liquid you can deep fry sugar and air.
Deep fried big macs- I wonder if the lettuce will retain it’s consistency?
Deep fried eight balls- Someone has to look out for the drug addicted out there, why not be fat and an addict?
Deep fried Hufu- What is better than deep fried tofu that resembles human flesh? Hufu for “cannibals who want to quit”. This would go over huge in fairs in the South Pacific
Can you guys think of anything worse to deep fry?

I forgot to touch on that in the blog. That line killed me when I read it. If you are eating anything deep fried at the fair especially something that is made out of a soft drink don’t you think they are throwing caution to the wind at that point?

Wow…I can’t wait to hear what El Supremo says about this…
but anyways…Texas will always be slightly behind Indiana in the fat category..since at our state fair they advertise you can bring any type of food and they will find a way to deep fry it…
Yes we are the state with deep fried twinkies, oreos, reeses cups, snickers, any candy bar/sweet food you can think of… and just the thought of it makes me wanna puke.

That is so gross, how the hell do you fry coke anyways, from the sounds of it, it just taste nasty. But If I went to the state fair in Texas (which I am from texas) I probably spend a stupid ass 4.50 on one and try it. Just because I like new things I like spending money.

Um, that sounds pretty amazing. I mean, we all know that a penny left in a shot of Coke overnight comes out shiny and new - so just think of what fried Coke can do!
I was thinking of something along the lines of fried cow brain. That way, you can be disgusting and fat at the same time.
I like the idea of deep-frying Big Macs. I think if we could deep fry McDonalds completely it would be amazing. Like you have to eat your way in through the door - and it’s all just deep-fried crap (not real crap, but batter stuff). Or, maybe we could just deep fry entire humans - not so they die, but find a way to do it so that
Even better: find a way to genetically engineer cells that can be injected into humans thus giving them the power to deep fry anything they touch. That way, EVERYTHING you eat is deep fried. I feel that this would work similar to “Fro Zone’s” ice power in The Incredibles. I’m not a scientist but I think this seems pretty feasible. =)

Texas people aren’t fat because of sweets, that just bonus points there all fat because they fucking 10 pounds of steaks they fry up every night for dinner because they think they half to eat meat at every meal, when my husband comes home for work if I don’t have steak or porkchops cooked for dinner then were poor and we don’t have any food and that load of bullshit I can’t stand meat and never grew up eating meat. Texas people are fat because all the damn beef and pork.

Jamie said:
well I not saying that people shouldn’t eat meat but its ridculous how texas people think it shuld be involed in every meal. for example take what you pay for meat in grocery bill then come to texas and look at the prices of our meat you eyes will fucking drop because how cdheap it is. why because how much texas spends on meat I lived in California I was born there I know how much food is there and texas food is 50 times cheaper they make it cheaper because people spend like 30 to 70 dollars alone on meat a week. I know I spend 30 dollars a week on meat. and my husband is fat. he going kill for saying that but he is, and he eats steaks and pork every day.

OK I thought about it for a few minutes.
~Deep fried Ephedra, for the weight concious
~Deep fried dildos, for the nympho in your life
~Deep fried coffee, for the girl on the go
~Deep fried junior mints, for the movie lover in all of us
~Deep fried milk duds, because Im a fat girl, and that would kill me
Seriously, I’ve never eaten anything from a fair before because, like I said, Im already fat. I can just imagine what people would think looking at a fat girl eating somthing called an “elephant ear”. I’ve seen fat people eat nasty things in resuraunts and large gatherings (no pun inteneded) and I get disgusted with it. I have lost 60 lbs in the fast 7 months and I intend to be one of the skinny people one day. This makes me kind of angry that they came out with yet something else to make fat people fatter.
lol
Then again for all of you skinny people, eat up hun

Let’s see …. For grossness factor, how about deep fried haggis? That is just gross whether deep fried or not.
And then there is this lovely product I saw in the grocery store recently. If I recall right, it was chocolate milk flavored like Milky Way or Three Musketeer candy. You could soak chunks of Krispy Kreme donuts in that and then deep fry them (again).
Since someone mentioned the deep fried candy bars, I have been trying to decide which is more outrageous - deep fried Twinkies or deep fried candy bars. I have decided they are both equally outrageous, but the Twinkies get extra points for providing your RDA of Trans Fats.

The Indianapolis Fair was actually the first place they test marketed deep-fried twinkies and candies I believe…
I can’t even begin to imagine how fattening deep fried reeses cups are…since they give you both to eat…but people love them…hence we’re like top 10 most obese places in the world…possibly #3 if I remember correctly…
