I recall being at the South Carolina State Fair one year and seeing them cut KKs in half and using them as buns for cheeseburgers…now that is Southern balance. (I reseisted the temptation)…
Very clever. When I lived in Southern Virginia, I was always fascinated by the way people would gather like moths to a flame when the light on the Krispy Kreme sign flickered on, as it meant that there was a fresh batch ready and still warm. Pandemonium…..

A lesson in marketing and the power of providing an excuse … now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go satisfy my sudden craving for a Krispy Kreme …
Yep…they reel you in, trying to act oh so good…and then you fall victim to their oh so bad for you doughnuts…and not even just one, but two or three or a dozen. Am I right??? And how did you go straight from a naked bendy photo of a woman to this anyway?
