Thread will be updated as other fairs start advertising their own items to try and one-up each other in the crazy food department.

Combine a favorite German food (pretzels) with a favorite Mexican food (chile relleno) and a favorite American food (hamburger) and this is what results.

Just about the only thing that looks good is the funnel cake on a stick, and that's mostly because it's funnel cake in a different shape.

The rest sound awful. Beer gelato? Eugh.

Went to the San Diego fair a few weeks ago for my annual turkey leg. Motherfucker was $12.50.
 
The Minnesota state fair usually has better stuff than that.

Well maybe not but it feels like this year is weak.

Also pretty sure Paramore is playing at it.

I work in a job that deals with the safety of amusement rides at fairs. From the looks of things, we may need to inspect the food as well. And yet, I will happily shovel any of these down my gullet.

Call me when they start selling bacon wrapped, cheese dipped, caramel drizzled chocolate donuts with cotton candy filling.

They are serving deep fried oreos out here

I might vomit

Dude, deep fried Oreos are a classic; they're one of the originals from this whole new generation of fair food. They're also probably the best.

DO NOT get deep fried cheesecake. What a disappointment that was.
