Staying true to their “Taste the Fun” theme this year the Del Mar Fair is full of not so bikini friendly food items that are sure to have your taste buds going crazy. From deep fried Klondike Bars, Oreos and Pop Tarts (my personal favorite) to the usual favorites blooming unions, mile long hot dogs, cave man like turkey legs and funnel cake, you’re sure to be in a food coma before you get to the rides. This year the fair seemed to be all about mixing their traditional events with new entertainment. I scoped out a new ride perfect for the not so strong stomached man, “Viper” hidden behind the “Zipper” and “Techno Jump”. This snake themed ride tilts and spins, giving its riders a dizzying a.k.a I don’t think I can keep down my chocolate dipped pickle, experience. If you’re stomach can’t even handle that, there’s no shortage of workers waving you down to play one of their balloon popping, ring tossing, basketball shooting games. There’s no better way to say I love you then to spend 40 bucks on a giant stuffed monkey coming out of a banana or giant stuffed giraffe for that special someone. Sounds like a fun cheap date to me.
