Fried What???
Watching Twitter can be a good way to spot disgusting new trends. For instance, just yesterday the phrase “Fried Kool-Aid” was a hot tweet topic. So naturally I had to investigate.
Here’s what a learned about fried Kool-Aid:
Creator Charlie Boghosian explains that the Kool-Aid balls are “kind of like donut holes” with a batter made from flour, water and Kool-Aid. His inspiration was fairly straightforward; Boghosian loved drinking Kool-Aid when growing up so he thought, “why not fry it and see what happens.”
Fried What??? (A Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Fried Kool-Aid? The thought makes me gag.
Seems it’s prompting some tweet tongues to wag.
Do you munch it or sip it?
I think I’ll just skip it.
Hope it comes with a giant barf bag!

I believe “fried Kool-Aid” is a mainstay of southern Teabaggers.
That’s disgusting… the fried Kool-Aid, of course. As always, I love your limerick!!
I can’t separate the truth from the rumor
of the Madness in limerickal humor
Though passe is Beck’s Tea Party Foolaid
it seems to now have been upstaged
with the Balls of Fried Koolaid, Consumers.
Thanks so much Gordon, Laurie, and Henry!
Hard to believe that Kool-Aide even exists still, although we drank it by the gallons as kids along with Moon-pies and Twinkies. Your limmerick perfectly expresses my feeling about frying it. Yuk! Thanks for the laugh! Hugs, pat
Thanks, Pat!
