Let’s be real, sometimes the best part of going to a game in Vancouver isn’t even the game. It’s the food. Even if overpriced a good stadium snack can elevate if not carry the entire experience. You’ve got the classic, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, and there’s usually a steady rotation of upgraded options or seasonal items. 

But have we gone too far? 

Recently while I was on Evolution 1079, I made my own segment that I dubbed, “fat guy corner” where I go through all the new menu items from fast food places that just look ridiculous. 

But this is another level of insane; this takes a cake (wink wink).  

While I was scrolling on Instagram this morning, I saw that the Toronto Blue Jays unveiled a new menu item at their games. If you guess what it is you should consider buying a lottery ticket, you’ll never see it coming. 

They call it cotton candy mayo fries. 

What in the udder heck?  

Of course it comes from Toronto, Who in their baked mind came up with this? And then who approved it?!  

Quote from the team’s post, “The Toronto Blue Jays are taking ballpark food to new heights with their buzzworthy and polarizing Cotton Candy Fries, a unique blend of crispy fries, creamy mayo drizzle, and fluffy blue-and-white cotton candy,”  

This monstrosity was referred to as smuf fries in the comments. I’m honestly shocked that this isn’t some AI hoax. Now look, I get it. Stadium food is supposed to be fun, over-the-top, and a little ridiculous. But there’s a difference between “creative” and “what were you smoking?” 

Alright, enough manic energy. Let’s actually break it down. French fries are the posterchild for salty food. It’s not supposed to be sweet. It doesn’t work when you dip them in your DQ soft serve and it’s so bad its offensive here.  

To be honest, this feels like social media rage bait. Something that would go virla online for the WTF factor. Which if it is, its pretty good. But I genuinely wonder how many of these they expect to sell.  

At the end of the day, cotton candy fries are a harmless, if not slightly cursed menu item. And will most likely be quickly phased out within a month or so. No one should be shamed for indulging in them.  

However, some ideas should be left on the drawing board.
