First came deep-fried Twinkies, then deep-fried Snickers, and now deep-fried Coke. Here is the scoop from Yahoo News.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.
Gonzales says he is working on fried Sprite and—perhaps the purest manifestation of the American dream that I have ever encountered—fried Diet Coke. As much as I itch to condemn this as a clear sign of the End Times, I sure would love to taste it.
