The latest craze at state fairs is fried Coca-Cola.

The Coke-batter nuggets are topped with cola syrup.

The treat won the "most creative" title at the Texas state fair in Dallas last month. Since then, it's spread to North Carolina and Arizona. Other fried treats at fairs include Twinkies, cookies, candy bars and pickles.

Fried Coke's creator is concessionaire Abel Gonzales Jr. He said last year he sold fried peanut butter, jelly and banana sandwiches. He sold 20,000 of those. Fried Coke though is an even bigger hit. Gonzales sold 16,000 cups of it in the first two weeks of the fair.
