Obesity is on the rise - and it's no surprise, when you consider the popularity of giant burgers, super-sugary snacks and the latest round of deep-fried concoctions to hit the state fair circuit. From the 15-pound 'Belly Buster' burger to deep-fried butter, these are some of the world's most fattening, ridiculous foods.
First there was fried Coca-Cola, then fried beer. The latest liquid to get battered? Kool-Aid.
The deep-fried fruit punch snacks are the brainchild of fair food chef Charlie ('Chicken') Boghosian, who also sells crispy fried Klondike Bars, Girl Scout Thin Mints cookies and Pop Tarts.
Deep-fried Kool-Aid in its finished form is like a pastry, first sweet and then tangy, according to delighted tasters. The recipe is top secret but it involves a whole lot of Kool-Aid powder, flour, powdered sugar and hot oil.
'It's really good, different, but a little more like a doughnut than Kool-Aid,' Angelyn Lucia told the North Caroline Times after polishing off a serving of deep-fried cherry Kool-Aid.
