Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Nutritional?


I just figured up how many calories I eat when I have a dozen (plus the sample they give you) doughnuts from Krispy Kreme. Drumroll please.....





Scroll down for answer...













keeeeeep gooooiiiinnnnggg.....


















3000 calories! (7 hot ones, 2 chocolate covered, 2 cinnamon bun, and 2 raspberry filled please!)

Its a good thing I always order a DIET Coke to go with them. There's way too much sugar in a regular Coke for me.

I thought it was ironic that Krispy Kreme's website actually uses the term "nutritional info" to refer to the contents of its doughnuts (lard, sugar, more lard, maybe some flour, etc.) What's nutritional about a doughnut?

There were a couple of weeks while I lived in New Orleans where I ordered a dozen doughnuts about once a week. I gained 15 pounds that semester.

I made a New Year's Resolution this year to not eat a KK doughnut until I reach a certain weight (I'm not telling you). At the rate I am now going, it will be sometime around September and likely October before I get to taste another circle of heaven. It makes me kind of sad. Luckily, I only swore off Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Notice I didn't swear off all doughnuts (-: That means I can get my sugar fix every once in a while without breaking my resolution.

Complexity Theory and Physics

Ha ha. Just kidding about the title. (-: I just hate having lame titles all the time. That one sounds smart.

Okay, so I have this friend who let me borrow the new Coldplay album X&Y. I'm a little behind on what's good in music today and he's helping me get up to speed. I didn't like it. I mean I really didn't like it. I listened to it and it just didn't hit me right or something. Then my friend calls me and tells me he didn't like it at first either and told me to listen to it again. Guess what? The new Coldplay CD is awesome! I can't explain it. I'm sitting here listening to it and I figure its like coffee - an acquired taste. Thanks Isaac.
