DOOHH...nuts

Now I've mentioned before how Dunkun' Donuts really are taking over America. I see them everywhere, more so than McDonalds and it was a huge deal when it was announced that one would be opening up in the Student Union next semester, despite the fact that there is one half a mile down the road. But that's beside the point. America is 'Donut' mad, and I have to say I rather like it. In England we're very boring and tend to stick with the standard Jam Donut (sorry 'Jelly') and that's about it. Here I could stand for hours and gaze at the sheer multitude of flavours. There's the standard glazed (my favourite and first pick always) and there's, caramel and chocolate and vanilla and cinnamon and strawberry and triple cocoa and even a pina colada flavour - to name just a few.

I have to admit that I may have had several Dunkin' Donuts since being here and I have enjoyed and not regretted a single one. I also have to add that from what I remember of my previous experiences, Dunkin' are wayyy better than Krispy Kreme, hands down.

Now you may be wondering where exactly I'm going with this, other than to make all your tummy's rumble and mouths salivate with hunger for the best donuts in the world, and it is because the other day I came across this interesting and rather hilarious article about this blog. This guy Dave has written an entire blog about Donuts. He's travelled the country and has given ratings to the various Donut stores and cafes that he has encountered along the way. Now I'm sure many of my Brit readers will be shaking their heads with a smile on their face muttering "only in America" and, to be honest, I would do the same. But I read this article in between seeing horrific pictures of a dead Gaddafi on the news and hearing about the failing economy and the history of child deaths in America and it made me smile. So thank you Dave and thank you Dunkin Donuts for making my life a better place... too cheesy... naaah.
