This is straight out of the "Why didn't anyone think of this before?" file. We Americans find a way to deep fry EVERYTHING. And now, one of our signature drinks can be added to that list.
--DEEP FRIED KOOL-AID is hitting the county fair circuit this summer . . . and it's a monster hit.
--"Chicken" Charlie Boghosian is a fried food innovator who sells his fried foods at county fairs around the country. He created deep-fried Kool-Aid this year . . . and it's quickly becoming his biggest item.
--The deep-fried Kool-Aid balls involve flour, water, and cherry Kool-Aid. Charlie mixes up a batter, rolls them into balls, then deep fries them. They come out tasting like sweet donut holes.
--There's no word on the nutritional information on one of these.
--Charlie is at the San Diego County Fair right now and is selling at least 1,200 balls a day . . . which is double the amount of new items he usually sells.
--He's also debuted things like deep-fried Klondike bars, Pop Tarts, and frog legs in the past few years.
