donuts are good.

they taste good, unfortunately, they're up there with peanut butter and maybe lard as ounce for ounce one of the worst things you can put in your body. i guess sprinkling some blow on some gorditas like that one time javi did it would be worse, but that's neither here nor there i don't guess.

no doubt you've heard of krispy kreme donuts, good donuts to be sure, but where they excel is on amazing PR, most of the mom and pop donut shops that the korean families owned and operated in oak cliff have way better donuts. so about a week and a half ago i saw this article in both the fort worth and dallas papers about how the local krispy kremes were doing away with their policy of giving away a free sample to pretty much everybody who darkened the doors of the place.

so you know how people are, take away their free stuff and they get pissed, nevermind the fact that they weren't losing anything. the lady in the star-telegram article was quoted as saying that the change in policy had made her mad. now apart from the truth expressed in the first sentence of this paragraph, that sort of reaction makes somewhere between zero and little sense to me. i mean they're krispy kreme's donuts and what they choose to do with them is entirely up to them. on top of that, if you're going to krispy kreme, odds are you're leaving with donuts whether they give you a free one or not. so you don't get a free one, maybe that's the kind of thing that warrants an "aw, nuts" and maybe a very slight wave of temporary disappointment, but not for this lady i don't guess, she was mad.

unfortunately for her, they also showed a picture of her in the article.
