America can now lay claim to inventing deep-fried Kool-Aid

I think we’ve officially entered the time of peak oil — peak frying oil that is. The San Diego Union-Tribune brings tale of a new fair food — deep-fried Kool-Aid — that marks the latest in our country’s attempt to fry the ever loving life out of any and all items that can be taken in trailers onto county grounds.

“Chicken” Charlie Boghosian is making the doughnut-hole-like fried balls that are a combination of Cherry Kool-Aid mix, flour and water, and he’s apparently selling as many as 600 orders per day (video of Boghosian in action after the jump).
