User blog:Wagnike2/This Gum Won't Stick to Your Face, But Maybe Your Gut

There has long been a mantra that if you have a deep fryer, then you can go ahead and fry almost anything up. Like the video below states, butter, beer, candy bars, and almost anything has and probably will be deep fried at some point in our lives. It should come as no surprise that one brave person is going to be offering Deep Fried Bubble Gum at the Texas State Fair. It was the winner of the most creative category in the State Fair of Texas' Seventh Annual Big Tex Choice Awards. To be less deceptive, it isn't actually bubblegum. The creation is composed of a marshmallow dipped in bubblegum flavored extract and bubblegum flavored dough, deep fried and garnished with blue icing and chiclets.

When asked why he didn't use real gum, creator Justin Martinez said ""It does not work to fry bubblegum...It doesn't taste good, and you can't chew it."

What do you think of this Deep Fried gum? Is it something that you'd be interested in trying?
