Forget the donuts.
I’m looking at the SanDisk 1GB SD card for $50. But I’ll probably wait to find a good deal on the Ultra II (faster write speed) 1GB card for my memory-starved 650.
KK was all sizzle and no steak. I never bought any of their stock. I stood in line one day, bought one, took a bite and thought…it’s a doughnut, people.
Patricia, was it a hot doughnut?
If not, you’ll have to go back when the hot sign is on, and prepare your brokerage account.
Gimme a Dunkin Donut buttermilk any day. Buh bye krispy kreme. I hardly knew ye.
Sounds like sour grapes. Could’ve doubled your money easily in the early days of Krispy Kreme.
We had our money tied up in, get it, dot.com stuff, and were lucky to come out with a profit.
As donuts go, and I don’t care for them much, warm Krispy Kremes beat the stuffing out of everything else.
Janis,
I think KK are crap. All air, no taste but sugar. Try to get one down that is cold and you will see just how puffed up they are. Dunkin donuts are not quite as bad but still not very good.
No commercial company ever beat my Mother’s deep-fried crullers.
But, she’s dead.
And, she didn’t care about profit. Just her family’s smiles.
