It’s that time of year again–homecomings, hay bales, and haunted houses. That also means it’s the time of year for the Idaho State Fair, running until Sept. 11, and what better way to enjoy the fair than partake in the famously unhealthy foods it has to offer? Unfortunately, The Bengal can’t afford to take the student body to Blackfoot, but no need to fret, because that fair food is already within you. Figuratively, of course… unless you decide to head down to the fair this week.
Virgo: August 23–September 22
Cotton Candy
Happy birthday, Virgo! Sweet and a little bit of an airhead sometimes, cotton candy is the perfect treat for you to snag at the food booth. Get out there and remind everyone whose birthday it is–your nostalgia will draw all the right people in.
Libra: September 23–October 23
Fried cheese curds
You’re a hidden gem. Not everyone knows about your charm, if they ever come across you, you’re an immediate favorite. Although you might be a little crispy on the outside, you’re a total melt on the inside.
Scorpio: October 24–November 21
Funnel cake
You already know that you’re the life of the party–but did you also know that you’re a social staple? You complete the carnival. Without you, why even go to the fair? Grab a lucky pal and head on down for a much-deserved break.
Sagittarius: November 22–December 21
Kettle corn
What’s special about you is your ability to adapt. Your ability to match with any flavor makes you socially versatile. Everyone can name a version of you that they like best. Always make sure you have a water bottle on hand.
Capricorn: December 22–January 19
Deep-fried oreos
Although you may not always be found at the carnival, those who do get to witness your presence always walk away the better for it. You make people truly understand that sometimes what’s black and white is better off together rather than apart.
Aquarius: January 20–February 18
Caramel apple
Fall may not be your favorite time of year, but sometimes it’s the best time for you to show off how great you can be. You’ll be busy for the next couple of months, but hopefully, you’ll have time to relax and enjoy your favorite way to express yourself.
Pisces: February 19–March 20
Blooming onion
You’re not just any fried onion. You’re a blooming fried onion. That’s a perfect analogy for who you are–you’re not just some run-of-the-mill onion ring, you’re the whole onion, layers and all.
Aries: March 21–April 19
Turkey leg
You’re the heartiest of anyone at the fair. Drop tower? Been there. Zipper? Done that. If you’re not down for the thrill and the 4-H exhibits are more your speed, you have your honest opinions about who should have won the blue ribbons. People who pick you don’t always know what they’re in for, but for those that can handle you, you’re good to the bone.
Taurus: April 20–May 20
Burger
You’re a classic go-to for not just the carnival, but also any social event. Whether you like it or not, most people enjoy being around you. You’re dependable, classic, and trustworthy.
Gemini: May 21–June 21
Corn dogs
I know this food choice might not be your favorite, but hear me out–you’re awesome. Everyone knows about you. People try to be as much of a staple as you are, but no one is quite as effortlessly casual as you are.
Cancer: June 22–July 22
Deep-fried butter
Let’s be real, you’re not everyone’s favorite, but those who like you end up loving you. You have a certain charm about you.
Leo: July 23–August 22
Lemonade
You might be sick of people associating you with summer now that it’s over, but sunshine is just part of who you are. You’re refreshing, crisp and keep people feeling those summer vibes even when it’s chilly outside.
