So let's talk about that fresh lemonade and deep-fried Milky Way.

You may be asking yourself how does a deep-fried Milky Way taste. If so, you need to go to more fairs, but basically imagine a Milky Way with the temperature consistency of a Hot Pocket -- hoooooooooooot on the outside and still nearly frozen on parts of the inside.

Let's get the bad news out of the way too: a small glass of lemonade is $4. I have sworn off restaurants before for charging $4 for cranberry juice. Also, a deep-friend Milky Way is $5. Milky Ways are usually what, $1, give or take? That's a lot of profit as long as their vendor fees aren't through the roof. I'm kicking this fair's ass and not paying for parking so I feel comfortable going to other vendors for an experience or a story, but still...man, I'm glad I don't have kids with these prices. At least I get it with movie theaters when so much of their money comes from concessions, but I don't know that's the same situation at the fair. "Here, we squeezed a lemon into some sugar-water and we served you a candy bar that will either scald you or freeze your teeth depending on the bite, now pay us the average full dinner price of our surrounding restaurants."

Whatever, it was delicious.

I talked with a woman selling lemonade. She's lived here all her life and has been serving lemonade for local events for her fifth year now. I congratulated her, secretly being mad these prices must be what it takes to stay in business -- I checked out a few different booths first before and that's pretty consistent pricing.

For the deep-fried Milky Way, I talked more in-depth with a woman named May. She was cute and funny -- when I asked for advice on how to explain this purchase to my doctor, she was straight-up and said "Just tell them you had a deep-fried Milky Way" as she powdered it with sugar. She had been with the company since January...

...so let's talk company-business the little bit I've gathered from my perspective. The event is the local fair, but the local fair is not the business -- the business is called Wade something and it bounces from location to location. Some booths -- food, games, stores, etc. -- are local businesses renting space while others travel with the business as part of the business. I haven't figured out that line yet -- I assume every ride is part of the business, for example, but I don't know that. I learned a little later at least one of these booths were churches that seem to keep all the money they make too -- more on that later.

Anyway, again, it was delicious. If this was an RPG, it was a full health replenish that also lowered my max HP.

I was on my way to Bottle Up until I was stopped by another carnival worker.
