Move over funnel cakes, fried Kool-Aid is here

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Move over funnel cakes and corn dogs, deep-fat fried Kool-Aid is here.

Visitors to the San Diego County fair can’t seem to get enough of the newest treat at the “Chicken Charlie’s” food stand.

The 300-pound man behind the greasy treat, Charlie Boghosian says he has fried up 500 pounds of Kool-Aid powder since the fair started 10 days ago.

He has offered fried Oreos, Klondike bars and other unusual snacks in past years.

But this year’s fried Kool-Aid is quickly becoming his best seller. The dough balls with a pink middle sell for $5.95.
