New Minnesota State Fair Foods Might Be Some of the Strangest Yet

A trip to the Minnesota State Fair is the ultimate cheat day, with hundreds of tasty foods to enjoy. About 2 million people visit the fair each year, and the food is always the main event. Some people stick to the classics like Sweet Martha's Cookies, Pronto Pups, and Fresh Cut French Fries, while others like to try the more unique, over-the-top creations.

This year, there are 33 new foods and 63 new drinks to try at the Great Minnesota Get-Together. Some look delicious, while others sound gross but are probably pretty tasty. Below, you can read about some of the strangest fair foods ever.

This list was released before Minnesota State Fair officials announced the new foods for 2024 (check out the new menu items below). I think a couple of these new foods, like Deep Fried Ranch Dressing and Sweet Corn Soda Floats, could easily be added to the list of 'strangest state fair foods.'
