With more than more than 876,000 visitors attending and indulging in a wide variety of snacks on the run, Wisconsin State Fair food vendors branched out to present a plethora of conveniently packaged items.

Considering the dietary ramifications of the contents of these 60 foods on a stick, folks have to wonder how difficult it might be to maintain a slim and twig-like physique, rather than a wide trunk. (And perhaps the foods-on-a-stick offerings help to explain the increased appearances of inverted grins at the fair each year.)
