Newest Fair Food: Deep-Fried Coca-Cola

POSTED: 12:35 pm EDT September 5, 2006

DALLAS -- There are fried Twinkies and even fried candy bars.

Now, vendor Abel Gonzales Jr. has come up with a new artery-clogging concoction for the State Fair of Texas. It's fried Coke.

Gonzales deep-fries Coca-Cola-flavored batter. He then drizzles Coke fountain syrup on it. The fried Coke is topped with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry. Gonzales said the fried Coke came about just from thinking aloud.

Gonzales' diet-buster wins the creativity honor at the second-annual Big Tex Choice Awards Contest.

Judges for the contest chose Shirley London's Fried Praline Perfection as the tastiest fried delicacy.

The two won out among 26 entries such as fried macaroni and cheese and a deep-fried cosmopolitan.

London said she came up with the fried pralines idea after buying pralines at the fair last year. She plans to sell the pralines alongside fried marshmallows.

Gonzales achieved notoriety in 2005 with the fried peanut butter, banana, and jelly sandwich -- selling an estimated 25,000 of the treats, according to the fair's Web site. The site said London got media attention in 2004 with her fried marshmallows on-a-stick.

This is the same state fair that brought about the corn dog. The Web site said Neil and Carl Fletcher conjured up a sweetened corn-battered wiener on-a-stick and sold it for 15 cents during the 1942 State Fair of Texas.

The fair begins Sept. 29.

who's excited about the fair?

A friend and I came up with fried macaroni and cheese and then much to our horror a few months later we saw a TGI Fridays commercial advertising such a culinary invention. We are convinced that his apartment has been bugged by the TGI Friday's R&D team.

Hi.

[Dead]

One time I tried this insane experiment. I took a twizzler, bit off the top, and filled up the hollow inside with chocolate milk. Then I heated up the end of a knife on the stove to try melting the end back shut. It didn't work and the knife is all black to this day.

CHOCOLATE MILK? that's pretty disgusting.

but filled with coke it would be fantastic.

[ohnoitsbonnie]

oh, yes...

[ohnoitsbonnie]

what if i use chocolate milk to make this mac an cheese? i bet that'll taste pretty radical

[Trotskilicious]

I think that sounds like a culinary disaster. Do it.

[Geek USA]

only if you fried it!

[Toby]

I agree, but back then I was into the brown cow.

Maybe one of us should try it again, but with Coke.

[Rockin' Cherub]

hey is the texas state fair ripping off the california state fair

i didnt even know twizzlers were hollow until three weeks ago at a party
i drank two glasses of some weak shit called arbor mist through a twizzler

? The Texas State Fair was the first to introduce the, "You bring it, we fry it" campaign.

Dude, that's awesome.

[bardy]

I would like each side to present the facts and I will determine the winner

[Future Boy]

Theres no way this could be good, but damn I want to try it.

[Dead]

I only just found out about this widespread diet coke mentos phenomenon. That's pretty crazy, I want to try it!

[toyschoketoys]

haha we have been eating fried sweets and junk for years.

[murgle]

I really don't care about all the other fried stuff (to be honest, most of it freaks me out... this fried coke *******d), I'm just psyched about the corn dogs.

Fletcher's corn dogs are the best EVER. mmmm.

[East Rocket]

After eating any of that fried stuff it would be advisable to stop by Parkland Hospital for a quick angioplasty.

And I've still never been to the State Fair yet.
