Wacky State Fair Foods
- Fried Pepsi® dough balls
coated in powdered sugar
and whipped cream.
- Chili and Fritos® wrapped
in a tortilla.
- Batter-dipped, deep-fried
candy bars.

What do all these foods have in
common? You may find them served
"on-a-stick" at your favorite state
or county fair. It appears that any
food dipped in some type of batter
and tossed into hot oil miraculously
transforms into a prize-winning treat
for the adventurous fairgoer.
Healthy for you? Not likely – especially if these tasty treats are being fried
in oil with trans fats. The most popular entry? It's hard to top the good
old-fashioned corndog, a long-time leader of the fried-food pack.
And for a finishing touch, don't overlook . deep-fried toothpaste!
