Both brands have the same amount of sugar and crap. KK uses one type that taste more sweet. That's all.

EDIT:

But so true about additive-enhanced Tim Horton's coffee.

I thank GOD that we had Krispy Kreme finally come to our state a few years ago. They were simply awesome to eat.

I thank GOD that they all went out of business and closed last year. They were simply too awesome to eat.

heh makes sense. Everytime I would eat one a honey glazed it felt like my teeth were dissolving


Though that doesn't compare to the actual Sugar High I get from these things we have here called Craze Cupcakes. I have to sit for a few minutes after eating one.

So, how is it a play on words?

Yes. They are cities. And Toronto isn't a French speaking city, it's anglophone.

This. It's why KK never took off in Canada. They didn't understand that Timmy's popularity is strictly about the coffee.

French Canadian means you must come from France Canadia. The play on words should be self evident

I heard anglophonics in Quebec, but thanks for the info. As a non Candian it's kind of hard to keep track of what is and what is not a province sometimes.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have friends who are still loyal to D+D even after I tell them about the mysterious late night deliveries. I don't get it..

All organs nominal and operating at 100% capacity, thank you very much.

EDIT: BTW, I was just thinking about something earlier today:

Couldn't Ohno make the transition to Ice Dancing or Figure Skating? It seems like it would be perfect for him, for obvious reasons.

What is this Craze Cupcake that you speak of, and why is it not in my life?!

I'm not. KK is evil and Timmy's coffee is the nectar of the gods. I'm pretty sure it is literally ambrosia.

So Leno crushed Letterman on his first day back. I hope the NHL gets a similar viewership bump from the Olympics.

Not sure!

When will Mr Ohno next compete, if not at the Olympics. I heard about the short track "world cup", does anyone know about what or when that is?

White House press secretary wears Canada jersey
Last Updated: Friday, March 12, 2010 | 3:03 PM ET



White House press secretary Robert Gibbs has made good on a bet on the outcome of the Olympic men's hockey gold-medal game, wearing a Team Canada hockey jersey at his daily briefing on Friday.

Gibbs lost the bet he made with Prime Minister's Office spokesman Dimitri Soudas on the outcome of the Feb. 28 game.

Gibbs had worn a Canadian jersey in a meeting with reporters after the U.S. women's team lost the gold medal game, but not on camera.

The jersey he showed off on Friday bore the No. 39 and displayed his name on the back.

Gibbs, who has been known to display his sense of humour in the briefings, later removed the Canadian colours to reveal that he was wearing a United States hockey jersey with the No. 10.

As a result of the 3-2 overtime victory for the Canadian men, Prime Minister Stephen Harper will also receive a case of beer from President Barack Obama.

Harper will reportedly get 24 bottles of beer from Yuengling, a Pennsylvania brewery billed as the oldest in the United States.

Whaaaa?!



Gibbs better be looking into resigning... (only partly kidding)

That just seems incredibly disrespectful to our Olympians (like Mr Ohno)

Maybe people would have watched more if they had not gone 'Human Centipede' with their scheduling and mashed all the events together after the fact instead of broadcasting them live
