Fried Bubblegum – A Heart Attack For Your Mouth [Video]

The Texas State Fair: a place where families can come together, play games, and eat some deep fried shit. Know this, Justin Martinez’s strange creation isn’t actually bubblegum, it’s a concoction of marshmallows and pink bubblegum extract topped with blue icing and Chiclets (bubblegum). It might sound lethal, but hey, he still won the prize for most creative food at the fair.

A while back I wrote an article about a guy who was making headlines for deep-frying Koolaid, well it seems the fad has caught on and now more fairgoers are trying their hand at submersing random shit in oil.

Fried bubblegum’s runners up were things like:

‘El Bananarito’ (a deep-fried banana in whipped cream-filled tortilla).
Deep Fried Texas Salsa (tomato and jalapeno salsa battered with tortilla chips, deep-fried and served with cheese).
Fried butter on a stick – gotta gets me one of those (not).

And the one that won best tasting food:

The Buffalo Chicken Flapjack (chicken strips coated in batter, jalapeno breadcrumbs and deep-fried).

I’m not going to lie, some of this stuff sounds awesome, but the only thing I can think now is that with all that lovely greasy chow, no one in Texas will ever have to suffer from hangovers again. They will be replaced instead, by heart attacks.

Which may lead to fashionable defibrillators and see mouth-to-mouth resuscitation contests added to fair schedules.

They may or may not be titled: ‘First One To Die Loses!’

Living the Texan dream baby.
