You can have the Orange (what’s a pop?) and the cough syrup, I’ll just take a nice cuppa Joe with mine along with the conversation.

We use to have a Krispy Kreme on Main Street. We’d go in before work and/or right after and enjoy them fresh and hot with coffee just as fresh and all the local gossip, er, I mean news. Small town America, you’ve got to love it. Now we’ve grown and so has Charleston right up to our back doors.

Would someone have mercy upon this young and delicate flower of Southern womanhood and explain what “pop” is? Nehi in the particular.

Amazingly enough, Krispy Kreme is mentioned among the victims of the biggest fraud in history.

And Joe Public continues blissfully unaware.

And the scam artists are still trying to convince us that nothing criminal actually happened; We're too ignorant, stupid or both, to understand the delicacies of financial manipulation.

And scarily, many are right here on FR.

Biggest Scam in History

I miss Spudnuts.

Oh, yeah. When my family would go to Plainview, Tx to have my sister's braces tightened, we would get a treat at the Spudnut shop. According to that web site, that shop is still open. I'll have to swing through Plainview the next trip out that way just to see.

Pop = Soda Pop. Another name for a soft drink.

Nehi = brand of fruit flavored soda pop. I remember orange and grape. I don't know if there were others. Maybe strawberry. I don't know. I'm getting old.

Back in the 60s and 70s, Grandma and Granddad had a six pack of Nehi behind the door in the kitchen (the door stayed open and hid the bottles). Once a week or so, they would pull out a bottle and share it. Can you imagine? A six-pack that would last a month or more.

Thank you. Yep, I can remember. The grape was pretty good but the orange was king.

Aren't opinions wonderful?

We have arrived at the insane condition where delusional people aren't aware that "opinions" aren't reality.

When acquaintances (they can never be "friends") wax poetic about how I must see a certain film because it is excellent, I just nod and smile. There's no debating the insane. It's waste of time, and it just irritates the irrational.

I have never tasted a Krispy Kreme donut. Should I?

I don't see why not.
I think it's hilarious that overindulging on anything is the thing's fault, rather than our personal imperfections, gross as they may be.

I managed to eat some, actually enjoyed them while our local DD existed, never more than once or twice a month.
I never felt compelled to eat a dozen at a time. That would be an individual's problem.

Eh?

Sorry, Mac, I know nothing about Timmy's...

...admited the KK’s were now ZERO transfat; hence the good-tasting (IMHO) transfats were removed and with them the taste for which they originally became known. Too bad. Just another example of food police.

For me the kiss of death (as in no longer buy it) is any banners touting "health" in any food. For other products, "green" is the equivalent.

If you must act like children cajoling other children I want no part of your product.

Food, by definition, is healthy. If you produce food that is not healthy, you are defrauding the consumer (with or without the coercion).

When McDonalds changed their fries recipe, they lost 95% of my business.

when we were kids (back in the early 70’s) we would stop by KK about 5 am and they would give us the donuts they had made the day before (they were going to trow them out) My Mom and dad thought we were stealing them (we had boxes and boxes in our bed room).

I haven’t ever had their donuts fresh, but I’m not one to look down my nose at any donut. If I’m having one, it’s a break from my usually healthy eating habits, so I pour the coffee or milk and enjoy.
