I didn’t have fried butter, Oreos or Pepsi—I was still feeling nauseated from eating a funnel cake and riding the Tilt-a-Whirl just prior to spotting this booth. Maybe next year.

PS: Geaux Saints!

This is serious? really? .....I just cant fathom fair food.

I knew about the deep-fried oreos and snickers, but am having trouble imagining the deep-fried pepsi.  I’m guessing they pour it into a fryable container first, yes?

Those food items are both polarizing AND divisive!

Sounds like someone’s been playing with the deepfryer after hours.

“Hey, hand me that candy bar…cool!”

“Hey, hand me that banana…uh-oh”

All those menu items make me feel slightly queasy. And they make my teeth hurt, too.

Fried BUTTER!?! I’m speechless, srsly.

The Pepsi Burst. So named for what it does to your coronary arteries. Vive le truth in advertising!

Great. Now the inside of my monitor is greasy. Could somebody please post a squeegee and some Windex?

I saw the Food Network Queen of Butter, Paula Deen, fry butter once.  I made me slightly queasy.

The Deep Fried Butter reminds me of Steven Wright’s joke about buying freeze-dried water and not being able to figure out what he should add.

Gimme, one of my friends in Chicago said the best Halloween costume duo he saw this past year was a guy dressed like Deen and “her” date—a stick of butter.

That’s a fantastic costume idea.

Would need a side car of deep-fried lipitor to go with it.

I never had the Fremont Street deep-fried Twinkie when I was in Vegas a few years ago, which is presumably why I’m still here to type this.

Good grief.  I bow to no man, woman or beast in my appreciation of the Holy Fryolator, but… just… what?!  Seriously, peeps - when your country is coming up with dishes that would frighten weegies, you’d do well to worry…

I’ve a lot of family in NOLA, where they say that colo-rectal cancer is a sign of having lived the good life…

Seriously, peeps - when your country is coming up with dishes that would frighten weegies,* you’d do well to worry…

Amen!

* For our US friends, Weegies = People from Glasgow, home of the deep-fried Mars bar, and just about anything else that’ll fit in a fryer without too much of a fight, including deep-frozen pizzas.
