victim of atkins

[totient]

I was passing through Wellington Circle the other day and stopped in to pick up a dozen glazed donuts. Admired the machine, expecting since the "Hot" light was on once again to be impressed by its McCloskeyesque relentlessness. But no! They had the machine running at half speed. I didn't even know it could do that. The donuts came marching through the wall of glaze three abreast instead of six, and there wasn't a line so much as a small milling-about of a large aimless family, the only other customers in the store.

They say you should "buy what you use", and I regretted not buying Krispy Kreme stock when they first went public. But as soon as they opened the Medford location it wasn't a big deal any more. It was months before I even went into the much-awaited store. Had I owned any stock then it would have been prudent to sell.

Obviously you should have bought Atkins stock instead. :-)

the average shelf-life of a diet trend being about 7 years, you should invest in krispy kreme about 5 years from now... that's about when media research will start to indicate that complex carbohydrates do something good for you.

Keep in mind that we've gone from one Krispy Kreme in MA to three. So that might have some impact on the output of the Wellington Square store.

I, as you may remember, love Krispy Kreme - so does London and the stores here are always packed. We hit one the other day right across from a mcdonalds it was like a little piece of New Jersey.

I have to say thinking about Krispy Kreme and you makes me smile. See you in August
