Yeah, that's right..."Fried Coca Cola". You can have a heart attack and go into a diabetic coma at the same time! http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061027/od_nm/life_coke1_dc Because we don't already have enough fried foods 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!"
You would be surprised at how good fried dessert tastes. I had my first fried twinkie. Holy crap! If you're going to die, die with a smile.
I enjoyed my fried macaroni at TGIF's but fried coke that doesn't even sound good. But Ill try if i run into it
Is pouring coke syrup over the fried balls that makes it nasty? I think the fried balls with powdered sugar would be good by themselves.
How much does it taste like Coca-Cola? The carbonation is a big part of the taste experience of sodas so I would imagine the taste of these things would tast more like flat soda.
They had that at the Texas State Fair that just ended...Didn't have it but I wouldn't...Now, last year I had the fried PB&J and banana sandwhich and it f'n rocked...
