You Doughnut Look A Day Over 77

My sincere apologies for what I'm about to taunt you with on a Monday morning. If it's any consolation, I'm taunting myself with this too. Ok, I'll just post this picture, and get it all out in the open. 

Whew. Ok, that wasn't so bad right? If you're sitting in an office right now, with no immediate access to the delicious goodness that is Krispy Kreme, there is a chance this post will be torture. I have some tips for you before you consider reading any further. 
Tip One: Go to the break room and get a cup of coffee Tip Two: Chug 8 glasses of water so your stomach feels temporarily full
Forget it, you're doomed. Don't worry, Krispy Kreme is open on your lunch break. I'll just leave all of these right here in a row, all at once. Scroll quickly, or very very very slowly, the choice is yours.   

I'll give you a moment to go get a napkin and wipe the drool off your face.

When I was a little girl, my Dad used to take me to Krispy Kreme before the sun even came up on Saturday mornings. I'd watch the conveyor belt-o-doughnuts push out rows of beautifully glazed, ready to devour goodness. I think I had as much fun watching the behind the scenes process with my Dad, as I did actually eating the doughnut. Since my Dad passed away, Krispy Kreme and their glass window that overlooked the doughnut making process, holds a soft spot in my heart. 

Krispy Kreme just celebrated its 78th birthday in the US on July 10th, where they offered one dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for just 78 cents, with the purchase of a dozen doughnuts of any variety at regular price. This included Krispy Kreme's festive Birthday Cake Batter Doughnut, pictured above.

Their actual birthday though, is today, July 13th! Krispy Kreme first arrived in the US on July 13, 1937 in North Carolina. Countries celebrating the 78 cent deal on July 13 include Taiwan, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Did you miss the deal on Friday? You're not too late! You can still celebrate Krispy Kreme's 78th birthday with a Birthday Cake Batter Doughnut -- the yellow frosted doughnut posted above, covered in bright confetti sprinkles and filled with kreme and cake batter filling-- or a Krispy Kreme Cake Batter Chiller -- that creamy cupcake flavored heavenly concoction shown above, topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. Both are available through August 30th! 

To celebrate Krispy Kreme's 78th birthday today, I've teamed up with them for a super easy giveaway. Just leave a comment wishing Krispy Kreme a happy 78th birthday, and you're entered to win an official Krispy Kreme oven mitt and spatula! You must be at least 18 years old to enter, and located in the US only. 
Happy Birthday Krispy Kreme. I think I speak for everyone when I say, keep up the delicious work for at least another 78 years!
