Ranking Wisconsin State Fair Foods, from 'Meh' to Mouthwatering

Let's start with the giant turkey leg—an easy 100000/10.  This is my go-to fair food every year no matter how expensive it is.  This one was $20, but totally worth it and so juicy!

Next, the 12" corn dog—10/10.  Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and cooked perfectly.  Exactly what I'd imagine a fair corn dog to taste like.

I also tried freeze-dried ice cream sandwiches for my first time—10/10!  Never tasted anything like it before, so I guess I'm addicted now.

The Hi-C lemonade gets a 10/10. also.  I didn't even know it existed and was my favorite kind of Hi-C?!?!  Tragic I only found about it in my late 20s haha.

The Spinach & Cheese Puff—6/10.  Super fresh out of the oven, but there was not a lot of flavor.  I'd expect a little more spinach to pull through, but it didn't.

I tried Strawberry Daiquiri for my first time—11/10.  So refreshing, flavorful, and I would've gone back for seconds if I wasn't driving!

Last drink I had: Strawberry Lemonade—6/10.  Yeah, kinda low only because the flavor ran out fast.  I was sad.

Finally, the Cream Puff—8.5/10.  It wasn't bad at all, but the texture threw me off.  Maybe I got a bad batch?  I remember them being incredible last time I had one!
