Default Coke Gets Deep-Fried?

Originally Posted by Yahoo!
NEW YORK, Oct 26 (Reuters Life!) - 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!"
Who knew that Coca-Cola would be able to be fried? To me, I don't know why ANYONE would want to deep-fry Coca-Cola. And it's a new State Fair food now. Anyways, discuss.

I believe this could spark an intelligent discussion.






























If we were all giant fatties.

So basically, the entire recipe is: Coke, strawberries, whipped cream, cinnamon sugar, and a cherry. In order for them to try and use this recipe for a different kind of drink, wouldn't they need to use different ingredients. After all, Coke can be complimented by strawberries pretty well, but I doubt something such as Mountain Dew or Sprite would be.

That actually looks pretty good. At least better than those deep fried twinkies/candy bars they sell over here.

I like using a $20 bill for my coke.

Oh wait, wrong coke.

I'd try those, but I'm not a big fan of Coke.

You could call me a hopeless romantic, I guess.
