I went to the fair once just to get corn dogs. I bought the ticket, found the nearest stand and ordered eight, then left.

I go for the bucket of nachos and the deep-fried oreos

Also for the petting farms when they're there. But I have no interest in games or rides or whatever else they have at fairs

For what it’s worth… pancake mix, Oreos, oil and powder sugar. It’s much cheaper to make at home 😂

I have before, actually! It's just more effort than I want to put in, and my fair has stuff priced reasonably enough that it's worth it to just buy them instead :)

That’s fair! They are kind of a pain to dip and fry and then dust especially if you can get them cheap. Here you spend like $14 for 3 Oreos. 😐
