It’s a turkey and pork hot dog getting a firm yet loving hug from a piece of funnel cake. The surgeon general warns that you should wait at least 45 minutes between eating a funnel cake corn dog and riding any of the fair’s roller coasters, or better yet, just don’t eat the funnel cake corn dog at all.
