Vote up the foods that taste even better because they're on sticks. 

Theoretically, you can eat anything impaled, poked, or punctured and presented on a stick. This doesn't mean you should eat all foods on sticks or that trying to do so would be anything less than a mess or a nuisance. That said, some foods like corn dogs and popsicles don't really have the same appeal without their characteristic stick. 

Summer seems to be a time of year when there are no limits to what foods appear on sticks. Fried, fresh, covered in chocolate… there is no limit to what a food on a stick has to offer. State fairs, specifically, offer new and interesting delicacies on skewers, toothpicks, and the like each year. Iowa, for example, takes great pride in its "food on a stick" offering that features unique and standard options alike.

Eating something off a stick has perks. Mobility, easy clean-up, and novelty all add to the joy of taking a big ol' bite off a stick-based goodie. The only question is, which foods on sticks are the best?
