So Krispy Kreme is giving away donuts today to celebrate America's freedom to choose. Basically, they (and others) are using the inauguration of President Obama as an advertising ploy. There are many would probably think that these companies are doing it b/c it's such a historic inauguration. I think that's crap. They're doing it because it's the new thing to do. Starbucks did it on election day too, and I am quite sure it was a success.
Frankly, I don't give a crap that they are using the inauguration to boost sales. More power to them, as far as I'm concerned. But the Krispy Kreme article struck me. Specifically, this passage:
"Krispy Kreme is taking the inaugural festivities nationwide," said Ron Rupocinski, executive chef for Krispy Kreme.
I think it's totally awesome that they have an executive chef. What the hell does that guy do? Does he come up with innovative donut ideas like, red, white, and blue sprinkles on the 4th of July, or red and green sprinkles at Christmas? Maybe he devises the proper amount of lard to put into each delicate morsel of donut (the
chocolate iced kreme filled requires the most, ringing in at 20 g total fat, and 10 g saturated fat...if you want to go "lite," grab a traditional glazed...only 12 g total fat, 6 g saturated fat). All in all, I'd say that guy has a pretty sweet gig (pun intended). Time to make the donuts (I know, I know...wrong donut shop...suck it up, I'm too lazy to come up with a pithy comment)!
