Alexa Greenfield told Fox 5 NY that it was something she would do very frequently growing up, although doesn't do it so much as an adult anymore.

"I started by saying to [my nephews], ‘Listen, guys. I’m going to do something. It’s a really big secret. Don’t tell your parents. Don’t tell any adults. Don’t tell anyone, because it’s really weird, and I’m a little embarrassed by it. It’s a secret.’ And then they caught me," she told the TV station.

Greenfield conceded that she generally is a strange eater, although her dad introduced her to the idea. Oh, and she claims it tastes good.

"He didn’t do it but I guess he was like, ‘If [the chicken finger is] hot you can cool it off. But, he was a strange eater too," she added.

"I guess that’s where it originated and then I just really liked the taste. People are telling me I should go to jail."

By the way, she's apparently up for trying other foods dipped in Coke. Yeah, we'll pass.
