The Wild Life and Times of a Botanical Geek

Last year, I lamented the fact that fair food includes such deep fried delicacies as deep fried twinkies, candy bars, and most mind-bogglingly, fruit. I discovered today, though, that they really have managed to think of something even worse for this year's upcoming fair:

Deep. Fried. Coca-Cola.

I'll let you think about that for a moment. Okay, moving on now. From what I've heard, this seemingly undoable feast-for-the-arteries appears to involve taking Coca-Cola syrup, squizzling it into a deep fat fryer, and putting the subsequent fried curly strands into coke cans. Gaaagh. I'm gagging just thinking about it. Makes me almost pine for the days when deep fried candy bars were the worst you could find at the fair.
