When it comes to frying things, there’s nobody better than “Chicken” Charlie Boghosian, whose Chicken Charlie food truck is a fixture at fairs throughout California during the summer and fall. Chicken Charlie has been frying things for years; he’s credited as the inventor of the fried Oreo cookie and is the inventor of deep-fried Coca-Cola. His latest mad science? Chicken Charlie has invented fried Kool Aid.

Sign me up for this deliciousness. If you fry something and put it on a stick, I’m going to eat it. Same goes for grilling something on a stick. Recently, in the same day, I had fried corn on the cob and grilled pork butt on a stick. Both of these things were incredible; I only wish I had eaten them at the same time (though I admit that may be flying too close to the sun). Still, if I could’ve had some doughnut-like Kool Aid balls to chase it with? That would’ve been absolutely perfect.
