As seen at the Texas State Fair, fried Coca-Cola.. Seriously, wow. And yes, I want to eat some.

That is very wrong and it makes baby Jesus cry and is a sign of the declining moral fiber of America. Now, if it was fried DrPepper, I'd be all over that!

A friend of mine tried it at the NC State Fair. His report was that it tastes like a burnt funnel cake, though his girlfriend could detect some Coke flavor in the aftertaste.

How many calories in that then?

Well, it makes a change from deep-fried Mars bar, deep-fried pizza, or even deep-fried doner kebab - as sold by various fish & chip shops in Glasgow!

The news about fried Coca-Cola ...

... reached California (which, of course, is the refuge of ambitious heirs of the dust bowl children and Texans in denial).

Anyway, please don't eat any of this. Please. I'm not sure I could stand hearing that it's good. (As I'm a big fan of fried pickles, I know my weaknesses.)

Don't go there

paularubia has tried it and definitely does not recommend it. Her review:

Fried Coke - the most hyped of this year's fair food. Basically, it consists of donut holes made from batter infused with Coke syrup. About 10 of these are placed in a plastic cup, Coke syrup is poured over the top, then it's topped with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry. The donut holes on the top were great. The ones at the bottom of the cup were a soggy, mushy, Coke-y mess. Yuck.

I think that just broke my mind.

Also, fried Diet Coke, for better or worse, is the most American thing I can think of.
