What in The Dough?
I don't even have to ask. I BET you can guess the common product of these logos.
Doughnuts!
All of the sudden it became like one of those Tamagotchi or Pokemon craze. Faddism. *tsk tsk* I mean. It is after all just some stuffed or glazed cooked dough....But looking at the word kan, apart from the origin of the word itself, the word 'doughnut' actually somehow suggests indulgence. Doesn't it?
Doughnuts are so very overrated by media and people.
Wouldn't you agree? Cop movies. Homer Simpson. College charity fair. If you go to the nearest J Co Donuts & Coffee or Big Apple, you will most definitely be able to witness the fuss: a constant stream of customers lining up to buy those dozens. After Alvin and The Chipmunks, I went over to Big Apple and here goes. With arms lifted up, I confess. Bought home half a dozen.
*Teehee*Being in the line made me realise that number one, the line was long because of bad management. People had to wait 'cause even though there were sufficient workers, they were not exactly efficient. And two, some people were in the line not knowing why they were there in the first place. 2 women in front of me were having a conversation (well, they were speaking so loudly, I couldn't help overhearing alright) and it goes something like this,
"What are we doing here?"
"I don't know. Buy....doughnuts?"
"Is it even nice?"
"Wait. I thought you said it was nice."
"Huh? I thought you said it was nice"
*silent pause*
"But the line is so long, it has to be nice"
"Yeah I agree"
"Oh well, if it's not nice we will just give it away"
(''D)
These are the ones I bought. *points down* Pretty pretty doughnuts.
Now you see it.....
*Grawrawrghawrghaggarrrmmmm*
Now you don't.
