America’s state fairs have basically turned deep-frying into a science, turning once wonderful foods into high-caloric monsters. Here are some of the craziest foods to have ever been thrown into a deep frier.
1. Bubble Gum

2. Beer
Fill small dough pockets with beer. Fry for 20 seconds (if you want it to remain alcoholic) and voilà, you’ve deep fried beer.
3. Coca-Cola
Top it off with Coca-Cola syrup, whip cream and a cherry. Try out this recipe if you’re adventurous enough.
