The foods at the State Fair of Texas that make headlines every year are the Big Tex Choice Awards finalists — the ones up for Best Taste and Most Creative. And yet, there are even more interesting foods that don't make that list.

The State Fair just announced two dozen new concession items.

Newcomers include a chocolate wine cooler — yum? — and something called crunchy fried oinkers.

More about the oinkers: Those are a pulled pork slider topped with barbecue sauce and pickles. The whole sandwich is then deep-fried. Because State Fair of Texas!

There's also a booth serving Howdy Homemade Ice Cream's Dr Pepper Chocolate Chip flavor. Howdy Homemade is a business in Dallas that employs people with special needs.

The pecan pie poppers — little brown-sugar mini muffins with pecans — look like a simple, sugary treat. The Piña-A lot-Tas look less simple: They're rum-soaked pineapples, deep-fried, that are meant to taste like a food form of a piña colada.

Perhaps the oddest of them all is State Fair Edible Cola: a cup of Maine Root soda in cotton candy or candy apple flavor. It's served in edible, flavored cups made by Loliware, a company that Dallas' Mark Cuban invested in during an episode of Shark Tank.

Concessionaires Justin and Rudy Martinez, who created fried Thanksgiving dinner at a past State Fair of Texas, are behind this new drink.

The edible cups are made, in part, from seaweed. They taste like a fruit roll-up, according to Loliware's website. Each cup (without the drink) is 135 calories.

Once thirsty customers have finished their beverage, they can eat the cup instead of tossing it. Now that's new.
