Top 5 Disgusting “Foods,” As Witnessed at the OrangeCounty Fair In Costa Mesa, CA.
1. Deep fried butter (!) Yeah, this would be great to chow down on, right before I shoot freshly popped popcorn out of my ass, then everyone wins! Yeesh.
2. Chocolate covered bacon. Come now; maple crème dipped, possibly, but chocolate? How dare you foul the supreme taste of these two food heroes?!
3. Zucchini Weenie. A hollowed-out zucchini that acts as a condom for the ample wiener that’s stuffed inside it and thrown in the deep fryer. Gag, choke, splash. Thanks, I just vomited.
4. Deep fried White Castle sliders. As if the normal WC sliders don’t make one’s ass bark at the porcelain moon, these stomach-turning pucks of muck will have your buttocks hiccupping putrid puddles in no time.
5. Deep fried avocados. What did the avocado ever do to you to receive such disrespect and be treated so poorly as this? Shame on you.
