Further to Kimmie's of yesterday an excerpt from the Toronto Globe and Mail - August 30. - Doughnut as celebrity...
...small riot in downtown Toronto yesterday as an Amercian company gave away 2,5000 free boxes of doughnuts to publicize its first store in Canada. That's because the intensity of the mob that grabbed armloads of Krispy Kreme doughnuts in front of Union Station was rivalled only by the frenzy of the camera crews, reporters and photographers swarming around trying to capture the scene...Cameras flashed as Mike Marley and June Anne Reid, employees at Scotia Capital Inc. scooped up six dozen doughnuts to feed their collegues on the equity trading desk. After popping the lid--labelled "It's not every day you can eat the news"- and tasting a sticky ring, Ms. Reid declared it inferior to Tim Horton's version. "Tim's doughnuts are firmer," Ms. Reid, 26 said. "And Krispy Kreme uses this really vile powder tasting pseudo-cream filling."...
Not a big hit on Bay Street it seems.
