A portion of hot chips smothered with melted gummy bears and chocolate sprinkles has horrified visitors to Sydney’s Royal Easter Show.
The bizarre ‘Gummy Bear Loaded Fries’ received a mixed response online, with most agreeing that the snack was ‘downright disgusting’.

‘I tried – I finished it all. It’s definitely worth a try because lots of different textures and flavors come together in one bite,” he said.
“The sweetness and messiness of the melted gummies go well with the saltiness and greasiness of the chips.”
“The hundreds and thousands sprinkled on top add a little crunch and give the dish a firmer texture.” I think it’s 100 percent worth a try.”
Others, however, were not so convinced.
“And we make fun of Americans for their food,” one wrote.
“Okay, I like novelty foods as much as the next girl. But no, that’s disgusting,’ said a second.
“That is a bloody disgrace and an absolute outrage,” a third agreed.

“I can understand and even appreciate the sweet/savoury combination, but this is so gross,” said a fourth.
The Easter show starts on Thursday and runs for 11 days from April 6 to April 23.
Other outlandish culinary delights on offer during the show include colorful Dagwood dogs and the Elvis burger – which consists of a piece of fried chicken sandwiched between two Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
Ride operators of the iconic show are banned from playing rap music as strict new rules come into effect at the annual event.

Dangerous teens and young adults involved in zip code wars are stopped at the front gates, while anti-social guests are escorted out.
The Carnival closes at 9:30 PM each night, more police will patrol the grounds, and lighting will be increased.
NSW police are already prepared to prevent a list of dangerous teens and individuals from setting foot on the show.
They have issued public safety orders that allow them to target individuals and prohibit them from attending a specific event.
The blacklisted individuals have been linked to Sydney’s postcode wars, a form of violent rivalry between members of different suburbs of the city.
