Wisconsin: This Post Will Blow Your Diet

[Bruce]

Do not look at the photos below if you are on a strict diet or are lactose intolerant.

The Wisconsin State Fair, home of the world famous cream puffs and everything fried on a stick, opens Saturday in the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis.

The main food attraction are the cream puffs. At last year's state fair, 392,000 cream puffs were sold at $3.50 each, according to the Wisconsin Bakers Association. Customers may also use a drive-through window in the early morning hours, before the fair opens for the day, and buy a six-pack of cream puffs for $18.

Wow!!!...but still not as bad as:

I was watching a documentary on Ben and Jerry's Ice cream.

There is an in house B&J concoction of icecream that would put the caloric values of the Wisconsin State Fair cream puffs to shame.
