State fairs are widely known for their crazy foods, where everything is fair game for the deep-fryer, including candy bars, soda, and beer.

This year, the Minnesota State Fair has announced its brand new festival foods that you can sample and splurge on for nearly two weeks straight from August 24 through Labor Day. Sadly there are no more Original Deep-Fried Cheese Curds, but throughout the fairgrounds you can find bacon fluffernutters, deep-fried avocado, nacho-encrusted corn on the cob, and more.
