Mousematt’s Epic North American Adventure — Now Featuring Final Thoughts

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

From etobicokehistorical.com:
The name “Etobicoke” originates with the Mississauga First Nation, who called Etobicoke Creek and the area around it “Adobigok”, meaning “where the alders grow.” The Mississaugas had moved from the Mississagi River area on Lake Huron to the north shore of Lake Ontario around 1700.

Twins Donuts in Allston is actually my favorite, but if you don’t get there before 8 am, you’re not getting the good stuff. Union Square has good flavors, but I always find their donuts to be underdone.

A Krispy Kreme??

No, a Dunkin! That’s what we were talking about weren’t we?!

Krispy Kreme…never got the love of those. They are probably my least favorite of the “main” chain donuts. I’d far rather eat, say, an Entenmen’s (sp?) from a box such as their double chocolate than anything from Krispy Kreme.

Sorry I was misreading. You’d said there were 2 in Manchester, then that you hadn’t seen one. I now realise that you meant you hadn’t seen one before the two new ones in Manchester. I think :thinking::rofl:

Jealous of your choice!! :rofl:

Hot Krispy Kremes are my favorite - as far as I’m concerned, they needn’t bother making any other variety! (Although sometimes I do mix it up with a sour cream/old fashioned.) The best part of Krispy Kreme is they give away a free donut a day to anyone who’s been vaccinated.

I’ve never had a Krispy Kreme donut either. Apparently I’m donut deprived! :joy:

Whether you think the CN Tower is ugly or beautiful :raising_hand_woman: - the view from the top is pretty awesome (when it isn’t cloudy/foggy):

I know, right? I’m kinda grateful that we don’t have one in Pittsburgh, any more, but I can still get one when I visit DD in college.

Krispy Kreme were all the rage years ago in Toronto when they first expanded but I don’t think they stuck around.
Haven’t heard about them in years except from Americans.

They are few and far between. Now you mostly get them pre-boxed in the local grocery store. The nearest storefront from us is a good hour or more away.

The Krispy Kreme near me is renowned for long waits : More than 120 cars line up for Krispy Kreme doughnuts in Mississauga | Toronto Sun. That picture was on a Monday afternoon. Seriously, all through the pandemic people just waited in cars for hours to get donuts. I don’t understand it.

The cost of gas for the free donut was probably more than the donut itself! :smiley:

In Canada, I don’t believe they had the free donut promotion. Not sure if that makes things better or worse…

Oh, sorry. I thought you meant the line-up was because of the free donuts!

Yeah. Krispy Kremes aren’t worth that kind of wait. Like, ever. (IMO.)

Oh yes from the inside, it’s a different story

Okay, so since we are talking sweet treats, Matt, if you are going to treat yourself go to The Village and get yourself some Craig’s Cookies. They are life altering:
