In the spirit of French toast sticks (and, one might argue, chicken fries), Burger King has created funnel cake sticks, the sampling of which quickly became priority numero uno for the novelty food fans at Asylum HQ.

As if we weren't already fat enough, the King has upped the ante and thrown in a packet of icing. That's right, straight up cake frosting for dunking your powdered grease sticks.

Burger King has had some recent missteps (the why-weren't-they-awesome cheesy tots; the terrifying blow-up-doll campaign), but this ain't one of 'em. If you honestly can't get behind these tasty treats, served piping warm, then you're probably an enemy of fast food, in which case you should just forget about Burger King and go eat at a real restaurant.
