Microsoft Bing's Search Page today has a picture of a ferris wheel and the headline "Let's Go to the Ex". I remember the song, and they are playing it on the radio again so it is lots of fun.
Something that caught my attention is that there will be a Drone Show every night.
But much attention leading up to the Ex is the food news. There is always weird and wacky food that brings headlines. Here's the list:
Light Sabre Cotton Candy
Cookie Butter Frites
Mac & Cheese Pizza (Macaroni Pizza, as the CNE, puts it)
Krispy Kreme Pulled Pork (you read that right)
Two-foot long nachos
Pirate’s Treasure (vanilla ice cream inside an edible seashell, apparently)
Spice Cream (like ice cream, but spicy)
Squid Cakes (self-explanatory)
Squid-Ink Korean Corndogs
State Fair Hot Dog
Croffles (Croissant Waffles)
Cinnamon Curd Crunch (deep-fried cheese curds topped with cinnamon sugar)
Deep Fried Coffee (a deep-fried funnel cake topped with cocoa beans, to be transparent)
Giant Mozzarella Sticks
Deep Fried Snickers
Dole Whip Pineapple Split and Pickle Split (banana split with a twist)
Eva’s Mac & Cheese Cones
Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Smash Burger and Burrito
Edible Rainbow Slime Candy
Ketchup and Mustard Ice Cream - this is the news this year
Leaning T.O-wer of Pisa
Seoul-ful Taters
And the drinks?
Mac & Cheese Lemonade
Spicy Pickle Lemonade
Colour-changing purple slime soda
Vegan Sorbet Floats
And while you are munching on the CNE treats, the drone show sounds like the new thing to see? What is a drone show? It is performed by illuminated, synchronized, and choreographed groups of drones that arrange themselves into various aerial formations. Almost any image can be recreated in the sky by a computer program that turns graphics into flight commands and communicates them to the drones. Does that make fireworks obsolete? Stay tuned.
I somehow have not been to the CNE summer exhibition in quite a few years. This picture was taken on the grounds, but not during the exhibition.
