You Know We're All Fat Fucks When...

NEW YORK, Oct 26 (Reuters Life!) - 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 mean seriously, WTF? Is it not bad enough we're all over-dosing on fast food and prescription drugs as it is without the need for introducing deep fried coke?

Perhaps we should go the whole hog and offer up deep fried Lipitor or deep fried 1-A-Day too.

lol what next? deep fried heroin :) just kidding

Everything at the Illinois State Fair this year was served on a stick. Pork chop on a stick. Deep fried cheese on a stick. Deep fried Snickers on a stick. Pizza on a stick. Hard boiled egg on a stick. Fried pickle on a stick. You name it. It was on a stick.

FRIED COKE?! I'm so proud to live in texas... the fattest state in the union. :uhoh:

My mother taught me that the best way to eat meat was with a lot of butter on it~

And that eggs are best fried in bacon grease.

I am thinking deep fried butter could be next !! mmmmmmmm

Reminds me of the Simpsons when Homer would take sticks of butter and wrap them in bacon.

Now don't get me wrong... I wouldn't mind sampling one of these just to say I had one, but yeah, if you make it a regular part of your diet... Not a good thing! I had a deep fried oreo once at a fair and thought it was very over rated and something I never need to try again.

Fried coke you say: so, what happens to the c-note?

*standing in line, looking at the number on my ticket, waiting to be served*
now serving..

Not to be rude, or a troll, but I really do not like to see the term "fat".

Um... I like fried oreos. Sure I"d have like, one a YEAR but when I do it's quite yummy.

I liked the friend twinkey when I first tried it but after an ill fated trip to Mermaid's in Vegas and actually trying one sober I realized it tastes like a really greasy doughnut and why not just eat a doughnut. :)

Sheesh. As if funnel cakes aren't bad enough... :)

Oh darn. I missed the State Fair of Texas again..... maybe I'll visit again one year.
