Deep Fried Kool-Aid?



(perezhilton.com)Okay, okay. It doesn't quite work like the title says. BUT, the main point here is that deep fried kool-aid exists, and it's popular:



Creator Charlie Boghosian explains that the Kool-Aid balls are "kind of like donut holes" with a batter made from flour, water and Kool-Aid. His inspiration was fairly straightforward; Boghosian loved drinking Kool-Aid when growing up so he thought, "why not fry it and see what happens."



In the first weekend of the San Diego County Fair, Boghosian sold 400 to 600 five-ball orders per day. Boghosian has gone through 150 pounds of Kool-Aid powder and 1,500 pounds of flour to make about 9,000 deep-fried Kool-Aid balls.



Sounds… interesting. We probably wouldn't turn down the offer to try one, but we wouldn't seek it out and pay for it.



What else could we fry? Rice Krispie Treats? Buckeyes? Cherry Cordials? Caramels?



If anybody uses those, hopefully they'll give us a shout out in the name of their creation!



Deep fried candied bacon? We're looking at you, Epic Meal Time. Ha!
