SAN DIEGO, June 21 (UPI) -- A vendor at the San Diego County Fair in California said his latest creation, deep-fried Kool-Aid, sold 400 to 600 orders per day during the first weekend.

"Chicken" Charlie Boghosian, who created deep-fried Klondike Bars and Pop Tarts for previous fairs, said his Chicken Charlie's food stand has gone through 150 pounds of Kool-Aid powder and 1,500 pounds of flour since the fair began during the weekend, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported Monday.

Boghosian said the deep-fried Kool-Aid, which takes the form of five doughnut holes, has sold about double the amount of orders he received for previous products when they debuted.

"That's because it tastes so darn good," Boghosian said of his latest creation.
