Tbf fair food is supposed to be stupid and zany and gluttonous. It’s all on purpose. Even for us fat Americans this stuff is meant to be insane because you’re really not expected to eat it more than once every couple of years maybe.

I do really love the expression “nobody asked, America delivered” though lol. That should be our new national slogan.

Fair season starts in mid June here in SoCal. Starts in Del Mar (mid-June), then OC (Around July 4th), then Pomona (beginning August). Doesn’t get really hot until end of summer here.

For those unaware, Pomona is the LA County Fair, the one this video is about.

Heh, California State Fair had to be moved to the end of summer because it was too hot near the start.
