  I was flipping through the latest issue of Maclean's, when I came across an interesting set of numbers: 461,068 hot dogs 96,272 corn dogs 1.8 million mini donuts 76,652 hamburgers 3,475 litres of ketchup 12,864 cobs of corn 26,000 steaks (10oz. ) 45,549 kg of potatoes 21,000 tubs of popcorn 49,342 clouds of cotton candy 29,563 slices of pizza 154,912 bottles of water 93,636 kg of ice cubes 50,271 candy apples These are the numbers for the Calgary Stampede, indicating the unbelievable amount of carnie-food that will be consumed over the course of 10 days.
Quite frankly, I think these numbers are a bit low, as Nicole, George, and myself alone consumed nearly half this amount in 2 days! Between the ice cream, mini donuts, funnel cake, candy apples, debi manjoos, corn dogs, pop, water, beer, and lunch buffet, it was a truly disturbing sight. My only regret is that I never made good on my promise to have the deep-fried Snickers on a stick! That funnel cake that George got was more than enough to lubricate my innards and negatively impact my health... Currently listening to: Fuel - Innocent
