Deep-fried is the new Coke

deep-friedAt least, at the Texas State Fair it is. It's Deep-fried Coke.

Abel Gonzales Jr. flavors his batter with Coca-Cola, deep fries it, drizzles Coke fountain syrup on it, then tops it all off with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry. Gonzales's creation won for creativity at the second-annual Big Tex Choice Awards Contest, beating out such delicacies as deep-fried macaroni cheese and deep-fried Cosmos.

Deep-fried Coke may sound weird now, weird enough to get a little Farking, but back in 1942, a cornbread-battered hot dog on a stick might have sounded weird, too. Now we have corn dogs.

Now i have lived in the countrys these people come from that are making bad comments. Ill tell ya, a serving of there single sausage will kill your heart flat more then that coke thing. So please step down. As it is only fair food in one state. There is no need to call people Fat as its in your country too. Clotted cream ring any bells?

I'm a texan, who loves food and loves the food in europe. the obesity problem in the us is not just food though, it's lifestyle. we drive everywhere instead of walk or bike, we are always rushed -- hence the success of mc d's. A deep fried coke ain't good for you, but it's not that much worse then a rack of lamb for example. So enjoy your food, whatever it is, get out and be active and enjoy yourself.
