When Summer rolls around, we always make it to the fair so my girls can ride the ferris wheel, win a stuffed animal, and of course, eat some cotton candy. Food at the fair is not the healthiest, but in case you were wondering just how unhealthy, check out this nutritional breakdown.

Hi Fit,
Interesting stuff, but you have a typo in the header of the second info table - instead of "Sugar (g)," it says "Fiber (g)." Something tells me cotton candy doesn't have 56 grams of fiber...
1The funnel cake isn't as bad as I thought it would be
2I'm a sucker for the fried dough. I don't see it up there, but I honestly don't even want to know!
3I love cotton candy, but I only eat it when I go to the fair. It's pure sugar, I know, but I figure I only eat it once a year, so it's not a huge deal.
4Vanonymous - I was looking for the same thing - Elephant Ear. It's probably just as much as a funnel cake.
5I'm surprised how high the calorie count is for a small soft serve! Eep.
6Funny Spectra, I was thinking, "cotton candy has protein in it? Score!" I just assumed it was way more horrible for me than it is. Not that I ever thought it was healthy...
7I thought the funnel cake would have WAY more calories and fat.
8didn't think a snow cone was so high in calories...haha oh well!
9Mmm, candy apple, rainbow snow cone, and popcorn!
10Ewww at the hot dogs, though. Just the thought of seeing them makes me wanna barf.
A hot dog has over 10,000 mg in sodium? Is that off?
11Love cotton candy and funnel cake. I get them at baseball games too!
12the second chart...fiber? i think you mean sugar haha 56 g of fiber in cotton candy holy crappp
13I am OBSESSED with kettle corn, it's one of the only things i can't seem to stop eating once i start
14yeah, kettle corn is like that, lol. and i'm not going with the small cone
it's the fair;
super size it! the del mar fair (san diego) has the most awesome food. HUGE baked potatoes with every topping you can imagine, and corn dripping in butter, and FUDGE. mmmm. probably a good
thing we missed it this year.
15Funnel cakes and fried doguh are the same thing in my book. Same with zepolies. As for elephant ears, there is a bakery nearby that sells these pastries. I think I might go get one myself
