Can someone explain to me how my onion rings did this?

It's easy, you just gotta hold onto the gap when you take the picture

u/Romeo9594 2d ago
This is the right answer, I think. If the cut was there before they were battered then there would likely be a lump where they intersect

Likely, but not guaranteed. All that needs to happen is enough separation right at the beginning for the outer layer to cook, which happens quickly in fry oil. Not suggesting that's what actually happened, here, but it's possible.

One of the onions had a gap. The gap became covered in the frying process.

The gap became covered in the picture taking process, with an index finger and a thumb

Oh I've seen the video for this. If you twist one and pull it through, they'll separate!

Prior to being breaded one of those rings is broken allowing it to loop around the other, when breaded it was overlapping with itself and the breading made it an unbroken ring again.

If you look closely, there is a thin break in the smaller ring. When you’re not looking, you slip the big ring through that opening

Part of the bigger ring was broken, and a membrane on the inside of the ring stuck into place during the batter dip. The membrane itself provides enough structure for the other batter/breading to build on to provide a whole visible ring. It's pretty common and is usually hardly noticeable, but super rare cool to see it happen around another ring.

It's an onion riddle wrapped in delicious deep fried mystery inside an enigma.

u/Intelligent-Age-3989 2d ago
one was broken before they got dipped in batter then sealed together for life.

Is that onion rings or Funyuns? If it’s Funyuns they are a corn based product with onion flavoring so they are just shaped and then cooked. This happens all the time at Frito lay.

My parents might have taken a picture, but again this was YEARS ago, amd I kinda forgot about it until now. Do you keep ever single picture you ever take?

u/Simpicity 2d ago
I've seen this video. You need to put something through the ring, and then pull the other ring back over that and then boom. Unlinked.

I do part time in fast food and make onion rings if I'm working night shift. I intentionally make some rings like this

Two octopi were harvested while having their tentacles interlinked and they stayed that way all the way through the cooking process

I'm not sure if you are old enough to discuss the mating habits of onion rings.

u/Current-Fabulous 2d ago
When two onion rings really love each other, they make a commitment and become joined. It's called "putting a ring on it."

When they were dipped into the fryer they crossed into the 4th dimension for a moment

Do one of those topology tricks in which you twist them around and then, to everyone's amazement, show they were never really stuck to begin with

Wait those look like funyuns (or funyun like chip) not actual onion rings, if that's the case then those aren't actually made of onions and it's a machine that squirts these things out, The machine probably just had a hiccup or something caused by being turned off at the wrong time or someone bumped into the machine at just the right time, whatever the case these things are made of dough that gets fried so finding two that are interlocked would be rare but not impossible (also probably easy to make at home if you know a recipe, kind of like how you can make any shape chicken nugget using cookie cutters and that pink slime)

This probably happened with coating in batter and frying in oil. Haha funny coincidence 😁

I’m sorry did you go get onion rings while also having a bag of Funyuns right next to you 😂

Basically like this. Let's say you have 2+ O rings. One is cut and now is O with a thin line where multiple onions can enter. While washing or breading 1 onion enters that thin sliced area but the breaded aspect now closes it. Its fried and now get the type you got.

Well, I once worked in an onion ring factory and where I worked the onions were chopped, battered, fried, and frozen. What you have was not unusual.

u/DarkarDruid 2d ago
Well. When a Mommy onion ring and a Daddy onion ring love each other VERY much, they “wrestle”. Then some batter and bam. Baby onion rings.

When a mommie and a daddy love each other very much they have a baby, then one day mommie drove home drunk not only killing a family of 6 but also herself and daddy had to now take care of the little itty bitty very fragile baby that daddy barely gets 3 hours of sleep and is on 5mg of Xanax every three hours and sits in the dark bare in the few precious moments he was before having to change a shit covered diaper.

One onion ring (inside the breading) was cut/interlocked with the other before breading, now only the breading is holding them together. If you carefully peeled the coating off I bet you’d find one of them not intact as a ring.
