quote from the article: When asked about the obvious dilemmas one faces when deep frying a battery pack, Hargreaves confesses that the objects are actually models made from foam core and decorated with images of the actual devices. "I was nervous about what would happen when I put them in 400 degree oil—were these things going to kick back at me?"

All of that stuff has to be fake due to their screens appearing to be still on despite having been fried.

Seriously guys, how does it taste?

Well, judging by the way that the GameBoy is made, and based on how the frying is done, it would most likely taste like burnt plastic and electric shocks. But that's my opinion. I'm sure that if you are used to eating other materials like glass and old tires, you might find this a delightful little snack when salt and lemon is added. Enjoy dude. I hope you like electric shocks and pointy/thin wires.
