As I was leaving the Bow Valley Square building after finishing lunch, I saw something a bit on the strange side. A lot of people were walking around holding flat boxes. The exact same kind of box. *Everywhere* I looked — at least half of the people around must have been carrying them. Otherwise they looked just like the regular lunchtime crowd going around their business.
On the boxes was a logo I’d only seen or heard about from news sites and friends in the States before: the logo of Krispy Kreme. Strange, I thought, I don’t think we even have one of their shops here.
It must have been a promotion nearby of some kind, but I couldn’t tell exactly where they were all coming from. All too aware that their allegedly tasty temptations were a threat to my current diet, I fled the area and returned to the safety of my own doughnut-less office.
And then as I was typing this, my team manager leaned in my office door with a familiar-looking box and said “Hey, want one of these?”…
lol – So tell us, did you give into the Delectible Devil, as I lovingly refer to them? These things are evil! I look at one and they add eight pounds to my ass I’m trying so desperately hard to lose! :( Let me just tell you, though.. Krispy Kreme is awesome. I’d never heard of them, either, until I moved to the northwest. Only ever had ’em once, too. I guess that’s a good thing. ;-)
Heh, nah, I was able to resist again. I guess it’ll be a while before I find out what all the hype is about.
Apparently, I’m the only dink on earth who’s never even heard of these things. :-)
