Fair food = delicious. I'm partial to the deep fried Oreos and cheescake.... mmm... lol. Every year there's a huge contest to find the best new fried foods for the fairs. Check out this year's finalists while imagining a Homer Simpson-esque "Mmmm... fried food..." after each one:

 

Deep Fried S'mores Pop•Tart - Pop•Tart with a sensational chocolate, peanut butter, s'mores flavor is lightly battered and deep fried. Hot out of the fryer, the sinfully diet-busting treat is drizzled with chocolate syrup and topped with whipped cream.

Deep Fried Frozen Margarita - Sweet and creamy funnel cake batter is deliciously coupled with margarita ingredients. Fried, dusted with a tangy lemon/lime mixture and lightly spritzed with south of the border flavor, it's served in a salt rimmed glass.

Fried Club Salad - Super colossal 12" spinach wrap surrounds generous layers of juicy diced ham & chicken, shredded iceberg, crunchy carrot strips, ripe cherry tomatoes, shredded sharp cheddar and hickory smoked bacon. Deep fried until lightly crispy; topped with deep-fried sour dough croutons on a stick and served on a bed of shredded romaine lettuce. Choice of creamy Ranch, Thousand Island, or Caesar dressing.

Fried Beer - Beer-filled pretzel pocket is deep-fried to a golden brown. One bite and the escaping beer serves as a dipping sauce.

Fried Chocolate - A white chocolate mini candy bar + a cherry are stuffed into a mouth-watering brownie, dipped into delicious chocolate cake batter and deep fried to perfection. The finished product has a warm just-out-of-the-oven taste! Topped with powdered sugar and a rich cherry sauce and served with chocolate flavored whip cream.

Fried Lemonade - Lemon flavored pastry is made from Country Time® lemonade. First baked, then fried, this taste tempting treat is glazed with a mix of lemonade, powdered sugar, and lemon zest.

Texas Fried Caviar - Texas version of a southern good luck staple. Black-eyed peas are fried and laced with special spices blended with Old Bay® Seasoning and are available in regular or spicy. Find them in Cotton Bowl Plaza (next to Cotton Bowl steps), inside the Auto Building, near Big Tex, and on the Thrillway.

Texas Fried Frito Pie - A generous portion of savory Texas born chili accented with a hint of sharp cheddar encased in everybody's favorite corn chip. Lightly battered and fried to a golden brown perfection. With its smooth medley of hot, meaty, crunchy, salty, cheesy, oozing goodness, "Texas Fried Frito Pie" transports you back to the golden age of Fair Food.

Get this -- nail salons are now charging more for a manicure if you're overweight! Natural Nails in Georgia began the trend by adding a $5 fee to mani/pedis when they believe the customer is overweight. Salon manager Kim Tran defended her salon's surcharge by saying:

"The extra cost is due to repairs that must be made to broken chairs from overweight customers. The chairs have a weight capacity of 200 pounds and cost $2500 to fix."
