Lunchtime Links

Thursday, July 22nd, 2004

1) Krispy Kreme corners the market on donuts for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy patients.

2) This is probably best when viewed under the influence of some sort of chemical.

3) CNN will team up with Technorati to track blogosphere reaction to the DNC.

4) Jacob Grier on urine, asparagus, Babe Ruth, and military cuisine. Yes. All in one post.

5) Read Will Wilkinson’s fascinating post on the economics of sex and love. Comments are great, too.

    There’s a Krispy Creme moving into Dupont Circle, near the South metro exit, where Benetton used to be.

    They’re hiring.

    So I’ll feel superior and special next time I mention asparagus-stinky pee and get a blank look from some poor sould who either can’t make it or can’t smell it.

    I feel so lucky.

    Since obesity is an illness now, I hope Krispy Kreme is hiring some of the Tobacco company’s lobbyists.

    Either that, or provide a gastric bypass surgery contest promotion for their customers.

    Holy crap! 740 calories and 160 grams of carbs in the 20 oz double chocolate drink…

    740 calories for a 20 oz drink! That’s got to be a record. It’s more than 3 pints of Guinness! It’s more than two Met-Rx shakes! It’s more than an Ethiopian eats in a week!

    Wow…

    I was always tempted to go into Krispy Kreme and order 2 donuts and a cup of glaze. I never did, but I did call their customer response line once and complain that one of their stores refused my order of said beverage. Alas, the tired woman on the other phone didn’t realize the absurdity of the request and defeated the entire purpose of the call.

    If the 12oz. double chocolate shake has 69g of carbs…shouldn’t the 20oz only have (let’s see here..) 116g rather than 160? I know it’s still a lot, but it seems like there’s something wrong here.

    I never knew that about asparagus. Here in Germany we have Spargel, which is Asparagus that is continuously covered in dirt as it is grown. It keeps the asparagus white as it grows to full-size. Although it is much better tasting than normal asparagus, I think I’ll stay away from it anyway.
