State Fairs are in full swing across the country. Rides, contests, displays and food. It seems like every year something new is on a stick.
Obviously, these foods are not healthy at all.

Pretty scary!
At the 2012 Iowa State Fair, the focus was on the bacon-wrapped corn dogs.
I will never forget last years featured food at the Iowa State Fair, fried butter on a stick.
In any case, it is interesting to see what people will come up with to sell at fairs and it is also interesting to watch people hand over $5.00 for these rare, unusual food items.
