hippies.

sticky bee sez:

spank! spank! how i've missed you. i've been busy like a bee. teaching and visiting with the young one. ahem.

krispy kreme is nothing compared to the horton do-nut. really. when i was living in dc i lined up for my first krispy kreme. skeptical, to be sure. but with as much of an open mind as i could muster. my first bite was...full of disappointment. as was my second. i ached for a horton sour cream glazed. anyway - thumbs-down to a whole wheat donut. horton donut of the month is some kind of pink cherry disaster. bet you've had a few.

did you know that in bc they have this whole other category of nudity? a social-nudity phenomena. people here get naked a lot with their friends, at parties, all over the place. we ontarians don't do that much. i can't do it - and get made fun of a lot for having all of my ontario hang-ups. i tell them we ontarians don't care much what bongo-playing stinking hippies think of our hang-ups. they don't even know what 50 is. le cinquant! i don't listen to anyone who's never had a 50. period.

let's go to the dom for a quart. right this minute.

Krispy Kreme bites back with lower calorie, whole wheat doughnut

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc., still recovering from the low-carb diet craze that starved the company's earnings, unveiled a whole wheat doughnut Monday.

The 100 per cent whole wheat doughnut — with only 180 calories — has a caramel flavouring and is covered with the doughnut maker's original glaze.

"The Krispy Kreme whole wheat glazed doughnut delivers the delicious taste that our customers have come to expect from us," said Stan Parker, senior vice-president of marketing at the Winston-Salem, N.C.-based company.

Krispy Kreme sales started slipping three years ago as the company expanded its operations during the height of the low-carbohydrate diet craze. Executives also had to sort out an accounting mess, with the company's board concluding two former executives were trying to "manage earnings" to meet Wall Street expectations.

While the stock once traded above $50 US, it fell to about $4 US during 2006. It opened trading Monday on the New York Stock Exchange at $10.98 US.
