Krispy Kreme & Kool Kars

On my way home from the office, I pass a Krispy Kreme drive-through. They have a sign that can be seen from Hwy 44 which is illuminated when hot doughnuts are available. Although I had resisted the temptation so far, on the way back from meeting the Wizard of Oz characters we decided that some nice hot doughnuts would make a superb end to the evening.

The selection was pretty good & there was a special offer where for $8.99 you got 24 doughnuts (12 plain iced & 12 of whatever you wanted). We ended up with kreme filled chocolate iced, strawberries & kreme, chocolate with sprinkles, New York Cheesecake, & the plain doughnuts.

We didn't go through the drive-through & so were able to see the doughnuts being made. Beth got a Krispy Kreme hat & they had a promotional late 1930's van outside, so I had my car 'fix' & so was happy. As a bonus, when we got back to the car park there was a Dodge Ram Mega-cab pickup that had been lifted (with 22+ inch aftermarket wheels) & a Dodge Charger pace car which was used at the NASCAR racing at Gateway Raceway just over the river in Illinois.
