"What the hell is Krispy Kreme? I recognize hearing that name from movies...." "It's the BEST donuts in the world, and it's right near YOU!" So Krispy Kreme Donuts put their first location in Canada not too far from my place, and i was charged by daddy to come home with 2 dozen original glazed, or not come home at all. It turns out that i live in a cave, because this store is apparently a *big* fucking deal in the Greater Toronto Area. In fact, opening week they made (get this) HALF A MILLION DOLLARS. In 7 days. In donuts. So we just had to see this. It wasn't hard to find. There were cars going into the parking lot like a mall on christmas eve. And this was 12:30 at night. People came out of it carrying bags and bags of boxes. I had never seen anything like this before. "I'm scared" i said. "Do they cover them in heroin or something?" We got to the building just as it closed, but the drive through is 24 hours. Attached to the side of the place was a big white party tent covering one of those rope line dividers like they have in banks and theme park lines. I shit you not. "okay, where's the drive through line?....oh.....fuck." It went back past the actual planned drive thru area, across the street and down a dead-end undeveloped road. It was 6 or 7 city blocks long, easy. Let me stress that this was past midnight now. Sure, others may have turned back at this point, but not your buddy wisper. I'm all about the baked goods. And this was too interesting. They had two guys traffic copping the drive thru line, plus a plaza security guard in his car. At one point a fight nearly broke out when some guy tried to sneak past the guard. All this, all for donuts. We were in that line for an hour and a half. Since the line only moved once every 10 min, i just kept the car off most of the time. Had to resist the urdge to get out and start interviewing people in other cars. "so, what the hell are you doing here? Do the donuts give head?" Sometimes the absurdity of the whole thing got us to yelling, but i figure there are a lot worse ways to spend an hour. Like watching Survivour or something. I don't know. We got to the window about 1:45am. And next time i'm taking a camera with me, because someone needs to show the world what people will do for donuts. "You folks been to Krispy Kreme before?" "no..." "Well, can to tell me what the HOT light above the sign means?" "uhm....that they're....hot.....?" "THAT'S RIGHT!! Here's your complimentary donut!!" "This thing better taste like god..." I forgot to say about the woman in the car in front of us, her total came to $75. We pull into a parking space and tried them. The sig was impressed. "My GOD, this is what donuts are SUPPOSED to tase like!" My first bite was good, but after that....ugh Too much sugar. The thing was swimming in that elusive sugar grease, and I felt sick for the rest of the night. It made me want to eat a salad, as some sort of appology to my body. Once a Tim Horton's girl, always a Tim Horton's girl, i guess. But what a ride. |
If I lived anywhere near one of those, I would be the size of ...big anyway. |
Krispy Kreme is legendary wisper. We used to live a block away from one, and man, around 4am, when the morning batch was coming out of the oven,you could smell it. Drunks and cops alike pilgrimaged. |

Here here with the investment in KKD. I made a few hundred. There _is_ an . . outlet for them in the south. In Metairie. |
. . most of it. Dr. K, how bout that ASW scandal. ? |
Maybe you mean those DAMNED SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS? Meddling do-gooders...I KNOW they were behind the torching of my Sanitarium. Filthy two-faced vegetarians.... http://www.ex-sda.com/john.htm |
hmmmm, ASW formerly known as A.C.L.N. Supposedly imported used trucks of the Mercedes variety to North Africa and the Middle East. Now they are being sued by many. Including Abbey Gardy LLP. What did the 7th day Adventists do to or for you? Is that your site? ? Saw the R. Crumb movie for the second time. This time on tee vee on IFC. I read that after viewing it, Mr. Crumb went for a quiet walk and then threw his favorite hat off of a mountain because he didn't want to be Robert Crumb anymore. One of his brothers saw the movie and killed himself soon after that. Movies. MOVE-eees On anothe note, heard Eric Burdon (The Animals) on 'fresh air' yesterday. What a great interview. It is available here: http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/fa/20020103.fa.02.ram He got to meet Louis Armstrong in London when he was eleven! (the show fresh air, is not a favorite . . . they should give previews of the cool segments, don't you think so . . ) |
My wife called our broker about Krispy Kreme. His assistant said, the broker was out, they were not going to buy it for their clients because it would go down right away. So much for listening to my brokers assistant. And as Daffy would say, Dr. K. you're Dispicable. |
The money has been made. |
My wife and I wanted it when it was an IPO. And, our Broker's assistant convinced her not to buy it. Ouch. we could have used that money. |
