This week, the Wisconsin State Fair announced 100 new food and beverage options coming to this year’s event, Aug. 3-13.
Last year, aghast at the absurdity of the gastronomical delights on display, we published a quiz challenging you to determine which foods are real and which are fake. This year, we decided to do the same but somehow, the State Fair food is even more off-the-wall. It was a genuine (and welcome) challenge to come up with the fake dishes that match the weirdness of the real food.
Think you can figure out which is which? Scroll down to test your instincts.
How many did you get right? Rate your score below:
40 – Did you cheat? Because, you know, it’s not like we think our fake foods were the best, but we at least thought we’d fool you once. Guess not. We’re not bothered by that at all. Totally *sniff* totally fine. Well done. You are a true State Fair champion.
30-39 – Hot damn. Nice one, my friend. You’re a pro when it comes to curds, bugs, bacon, seafood, etc.
21-29 – Solid results. You’re on the better side of 50% here. We suspect you’ve dabbled in the deep fried dark arts before.
20 – Clean down the middle. Your ability to balance the fake and real in equal measure is enviable.
10-19 – Not too bad. Honestly, we’re proud to have stumped you a bit – we spent a borderline irresponsible amount of time putting this quiz together, so it feels good to have someone fall for our fake dishes. So thank you for boosting the ego of this little editor man.
1-9 – A little rough, but don’t let it get you down. The State Fair was not messing around this year – their food selection achieves new levels of weirdness. Getting this many right was an accomplishment in our book. Reward yourself with a Dill Pickle Donut.
0 – Shoot. Well, that could have gone better, huh? Don’t fret though – a couple chugs of an Atomic Slush and you’ll forget all about this.
