Ok, I like junk food as much as the next person, but I think fried Coke sounds completely disgusting! According to this article from Yahoo News, the fried Coke craze is sweeping through the Texas State Fair and will likely hit other parts of the country soon. Here’s the description of what fried Coke is:
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.
Does that sound good to you? I think it sounds overly sweet and totally disgusting! But then again, I’ve never had the urge to try deep-fried Twinkies, deep-fried Oreos, a deep-fried Mars bar, or any other “deep-fried” version of an already unhealthy food product.
As far as I’m concerned, Texans can keep their deep-fried Coke. I’ll continue to take mine in a glass with ice, thank-you-very-much!
