Aug 19 2022 - The Ex

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.
