The problem with Florida can be summed up in two words: The Villages. It's a massive conclave of old white people from other states that has subsumed three counties in the state so far and is constantly growing.

Its why Florida is the only state where Trumps favorables have actually gone up - its collection of old racist crazy white people is actually increasing.

Sumter county's population of 125,165 out of the 21 million in the state is hardly a splash in the pan. The entire state from Polk County up is infested with racist whities of all ages. Blaming it just on the old retirees is giving a pass to the rest of the shitheads.

Eventually these people will die and their bodies will turn cold and begin the process of decay, with they skin changing colour after a few days.

It's literally impossible to get more sugar into that garbage. It is already at saturation.

Supersaturated actually. I unfortunately used to work for a BBQ chain here and sweet tea was made by heating the tea to near boiling and adding 7 pints of sugar to each 4 gallon container. They can't die fast enough.

Not just the poors either. For example, most beachfront property in Florida is about ~25 years from being uninsurable, which will start being reflected in prices soon.
The entire city of New Orleans is another example of something that will be uninsurable* soon.

That's certainly the cottage industry it's become but it didn't start out that way, for the most part it just started because America is a nation of fat stupid fucks with zero regard for their self respect or what they put in their disgusting bodies. Once the media got a hold of the "can't believe what they deep fried this year" narrative we were all doomed.

deep fried whatever is a staple of State Fair food everywhere--deep fried chocolate bars, butter, cheese curds, bull testicles, you name it

to be fair, deep fried ice cream is actually extremely tasty

Deep fried ice cream is a staple desert of westernised Chinese restaurants and is actually pretty tasty. Similar principle to flambe or baked Alaska.

Man if only. We had such an awful clientele seeing a few angry olds terrified of their syrup water would have been nice. The worst was some older piece of hell I refused to serve that insisted everyone in New Orleans who died during Katrina deserved it for their sinful ways.

famous festival poo poo like "deep-fried coke" is just a funnel-cake type batter made with coke as the liquid, plus coke syrup/powdered sugar on top - this is probably the same deal

although you could fancy it up and make it into a gel pretty easily i guess
