Krispy Kreme Run!

Oxymoronic title, I know. There was however, a Krispy Kreme Run in NC or SC. Two miles to the Krispy Kreme Shoppe, and two miles back to the start/finish line. Catch is, the participants had to eat 12 donuts before they ran back. After much puking and diabetes jokes, some people made it back. Why would people do this? Well, it was/is a PR stunt to make running more popular as a sport. Did it work? I would say so, because I'm writing about it, which means I found out about it, which means that....whoever planned it was a marketing/PR genius!

Keeping with the food theme, if going for a Starbucks run, you can now get a breakfast combo (like Mickey D's, BK, Wendys, Dunkin Donuts, etc.).

With the $3.95 breakfast offer, customers will be able to get a 12-ounce coffee
with a breakfast sandwich or roll or a 12-ounce latte with either oatmeal or a
coffee cake.

All of this due to the economic turndown. Gotta find the silver lining folks.

Still keeping with the food theme, this was a headline this morning: FBI raids peanut butter plant. [Insert laughter here]. I think this would be a good starting point for a movie. Big, tough, FBI agents (people like Dan Aykroyd, Will Ferrell, or that guy from The Office...or maybe George Clooney and Brad Pitt) go on a super secret mission: the ominous peanut butter plant. I could write about the hilarity that would be sure to ensue, but use your imagination!

Finally, there was a milk-deliverer in England, 72 years old, who delivered not only milk, but cannabis to his elderly houses to ease their aches and pains. Police found 6 oz. in his delivery van. Thats a lot. Thats....about $1000 worth of the stuff. Anyway, he got off with no time. For now. DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNN.
