Fried Coke

OK, so I like to toot my friends' horns, so here I go again:
You've probably caught at least some bits of news on fried coke in the last couple of months, but just in case you've been living under a rock (that rock being work, family or otherwise unforgivable excuses), try googling FRIED COKE and you should get over 700,000 hits on it. This calorie explosion fried food (emmm...drink) marvel is the creation of one of our MySpace community comrades and a very old friend of mine (ok so maybe I'm doing this to avoid him spilling my darkest secrets, ha ha) and I wanted to tell everyone about how well this marketing data analyst has "faired" this year. Since I am currently in the US, I saw it first hand at the Texas State Fair, the biggest fair in the US, where people lined up for hours to taste the concoction and say they know all about it - they HAD ONE! From the local news to national shows such as the Today Show all the way to news radio in Argentina, the news is hitting everywhere and people can't get enough of this new way to add even more calories to the popular drink that is now an edible favorite of fair goers apparently nationwide. Fairs in other states are coming up with their own versions of fried coke (so don't be fooled into thinking the copy is anything like the original recipe!) due to the high demand everywhere. Coke is now chewable! If I were you, Mister miracle food, I'd be saying: Coca-Cola where is my check?! After all, this is the South and we eat fried COKE around here, not fried Mountain Dew, Sprite, or Pepsi. :) For the latest news that appeared today on Reuters go to http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyID=2006-10-27T124827Z_01_N26343691_RTRUKOC_0_US-LIFE-COKE1.xml&WTmodLoc=Home-C5-oddlyEnoughNews-2

Will kids be trick or treating for fried coke come Tuesday??
