New fast food debuts in U.S. fairs -- fried Coke
NEW YORK (Reuters) - 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!"
Oh my gosh! Can you believe this?! THis is one helluva gigantic
sugar buzz and a diabetic's nightmare that can immediately send one
into a diabetic coma, guaranteed!!
