[QUOTE]Originally posted by B.J.: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [qb] point of interest: up until recently Krispy Kreme was known for giving away a free, fresh-off-the-line glazed donut when their red neon sign was lit up. It meant they were making a new batch and you could get a free donut just for walking in. For from being a fireable offence it was a marketing strategy. And it worked. [/qb][/QUOTE]What do you mean "up until recently"? They still do that! [QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [qb] I think it's more of a mid-west thing. I know they're not everywhere. We just got one in South Bend a few years ago.[/qb][/QUOTE]I take offense to that! Krispy Kreme was for the longest time a Southern thing. They only fairly recently started spreading out. When I moved to St. Louis in 1997, my coworkers told me they only got Krispy Kreme a couple of years before, whereas I had practically grown up on the stuff in Georgia. BTW, I proposed to my wife over a box of them. :D Unlike regular donuts, these things go down *way* too easily! You can eat a half dozen very quickly before you even realize that you've done it! Also, many schools, school groups (teams, bands, etc.), churches, and even the soldiers at the arsenal here in Huntsville use Krispy Kremes as a big fund-raising item. I think that's one of the major reasons for their initial spread in popularity in the South. [/QB][/QUOTE]
