- Jerry Apps: And one of the other dimensions of food at the fair, which came because people wanted to see things, they didn't want to sit around and eat.
So they invented the idea of portable food, food on a stick.
[playful music] You can get bratwurst on a stick, hamburger on a stick.
Bacon brats on a stick, breakfast on a stick, brownie waffles on a stick.
Chicken and a waffle on a stick, deep-fried bacon and cream on a stick, deep-fried Snickers on a stick.
You can get almost anything on a stick so that you can carry it around and eat.
