Why would we want to change the world's perception of Americans being fatties? Presenting Fried Cocoa Cola. The batter uses Coca Cola instead of water, which is then fried in hot oil. The ribbons of fried batter are then put into a Coke cup. Drizzle a little cola syrup on top, sprinkle a generous helping of powdered sugar and then top the whole thing off with some whipped cream and a cherry! Sip as you feel your arteries slowly harden... Then drop down dead. Voila! Photo by Karen Tam. Photos taken at the booth at the North Carolina State Fair which opens today in Raleigh, N.C.
