This sounds so gross!!! I guess I can’t totally judge since a lot of people like the fried Oreos and things and I don’t even like that…but why would anyone want to try a fried drink?! Yikes!! Details after the jump.
Creator Charlie Boghosian explains that the Kool-Aid balls are “kind of like donut holes” with a batter made from flour, water and Kool-Aid. His inspiration was fairly straightforward; Boghosian loved drinking Kool-Aid when growing up so he thought, “why not fry it and see what happens.”
In the first weekend of the San Diego County Fair, Boghosian sold 400 to 600 five-ball orders per day. Boghosian has gone through 150 pounds of Kool-Aid powder and 1,500 pounds of flour to make about 9,000 deep-fried Kool-Aid balls.
WOULD YOU TRY ONE?!
