His Wife, Also Deep-Fried, Happily Demonstrated
A local culinary sociopath at the 2006 Texas State Fair introduced his latest dessert innovation/assault weapon: Deep-fried Coca-Cola, served with whipped cream, sometimes on a stick.
According to one Texas TV station's website, "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."
Usually I contain my harangues against obese America to private, untraceable conversations. But this dish - a particularly offensive addition to the Extreme Frying family, which already includes pizza, candy bars and whole turkeys - requires me to seek the purifying therapy of public discussion. Plus, there's a story of redemption hidden in the coverage: The TV station hosted an online poll, asking whether Joe Public would try deep-fried Coke on a stick. 33% of the respondents said "Absolutely!", 43% said "Heck no!"
