How Awesome Is This?

A real scene from my life, repeated about two dozen times:
SERVER: “Can I get you something to drink?”
ME: (Resisting the urge to correct his usage of “can”...) “Coke, please.”
SERVER: “Pepsi okay?”
ME: (Scowling, hissing through clenched teeth.) “No, I’ll be fine with water.”
SERVER: (Walks away shaking his head.)

So imagine my glee at finding this link today: Deep-Fried Coke.

Those of you who also read The Thrilling Travels of Normal Guy and Girl know that I finally experienced the deep-fried Twinkie last week in Ohio. I wish now that I’d tried the deep-fried Snickers, too, and I won’t let the opportunity pass again. But given my deep love for Coca-Cola, I’m thinking I might have to plan a special trip South for the sole purpose of giving deep-fried Coke a shot... I continue to be amazed by human ingenuity. :)
