iReporter Chris Morrow checks in from the San Diego Fair to say, "Fair food is gearing up and the new kid on the block is Fried Kool-Aid. Chicken Charlie's travels from fair to fair creating and frying up the ever so popular twinkies, brownies, oreos, ribs, and now Kool-Aid. Its like a beignet from Cafe Du Monde in the French Quarter with cherry Kool-Aid mixed in. Pretty addictive!"

Also fried? Bull testicles at the Denver airport

    @The black man's ultimate meal, don't be stupid. "Southerners" don't fry everything. People from all across the globe fry a number of things. Do some research before you make a statement like that and make yourself look like an ...

    Fried Kool-Aid is a misnomer. It's basically a donut with Kool-Aid powder mixed in. How is that "fried Kool-Aid?" Why
    don't they advertise it as "fried baking powder" or "fried salt" since those are probably ingredients in the donuts too.

    Southerners will fry just about anything and call it food, no surprise here.

    You might as well be frying and eating your own feces if you try this. God damn disgusting.

      I'm not so sure. Have you ever done a blind taste test with those items as part of the test? I'm not 100% positive, maybe in the range of 99.99999989% – 99.9999999%, but not 100% sure, that I'd choose the fried Kool-Aid over the fried feces. Unless the test subjects drank A LOT of Kool-Aid the day or two before they submitted their own samples for the taste test, your results may not vary as much.

      Holy mountain-out-of-a-molehill, Batman! It's just fried flavored dough – like elephant ears, funnel cakes and donuts. It's supposed to be a treat, not a staple in one's diet.

      Sorry Truth.. I didn't mean for it to be political. Quite opposite.. where our health shouldn't be a political issue, rather the sole responsibility should be those that choose to eat foods like these without thinking of the consequences of it. For those people who can't handle it, that is.

        exactly how I took your comment, as a comment on society; not as a political comment.

        With so much political spewing within these comments though, I can see how someone might take your comment that way!

    Lame. The fried (insert weird food) trend is really getting to be ridiculous. Twinkies – ok. But Koolaid, Beer, Coke, all lame. Next thing you know they'll be selling fried coffee, fried cardboard, fried tampons... enough already.
