Then throw in the Starbucks, MMMMmuffins and Second Cups. Over kill. I am surprised that Oshawa has not ballooned at a rate of x to the power of x. Ha Ha

i dont know whats more disturbing, the state of your local economy, or the fact that you have an exact count of the types and quantities of every dounghnut store in your city.

hmmm. maybe i should move there.

True. Having a Krispy Kreme down the street makes Summer's 110% humidity (that's what it feels like) bearable. Greetings from Alabama to South Carolina!

Well it maybe a northern thing also.

I work in the US quite often and I have tried many KK donuts. Unfortunately when I eat them I always think about how much better Tim Hortons are.

BTW, Canada is recognized as the Doughnut capital of the world. Canadians eat more doughnuts per capita than any other country.

There are more than 2,000 Tim Hortons in existence. If you scale this up for the US population, it would be like KK having 20,000 doughnut shops. One doughnut every 184 square miles! Just think of it, New York city would have almost 800.

1) Never heard of Tim Horton's. Do Tastykakes (originally available only in Philly area) count as donuts? Speaking of non-donuts, give me a soft pretzel anytime. (Real fresh Philly ones, not those nasty "New York" style ones they serve in every restaurant, mall, airport, and stadium in the country. Is that truly how they make soft pretzels in NYC? Bleah!)

2) Looking at the OT subjects lately, it seems that SEIV players are interested in music, reading, war, drinking, and donuts. When someone wants to know everyone's favorite outfit, you'll know SEIV has made a major breakthrough!

How y'all doin', Wendell? Good to see someone else with an appreciation for Krispy Kreme and (I'll bet) sweet tea!

dmm: Jeans and a t-shirt.
