I saw that article, and shame on the BBC for not mentioning the Minnesota State Fair; a State Fair whose size strength superiority in food on a stick puts it leagues above Iowa.
(Seriously, we put everything on a stick from chocolate-covered-bacon on a stick, to key lime pie on a stick, to the traditional stick food.)
The deep fried twinkies/snickers/butter/insanity is mostly eaten on dares and out of bravado from what I can tell. I mean, let's not confuse the matter with obesity, we got that locked down pat, but there are reasons that stuff isn't available everywhere easily year round. It's disgusting. It's fair food.
Honestly, I think eating lye fish or drinking baijo is kinda the same sort of thing.
Deep fried milkyways, oreos, hamburgers, whatever - are mostly just fair foods I think. I have ate a couple of deep fried things occasionally when I have gone to our local state fair. If anything it shows American greatness, we are willing to try anything - even if it might shave years off our lives
But to the non-Americans out there, these are mostly just foods people eat maybe once a year - at most.
