Okay, so the Krispy Kreme donuts story. Here's what happened:

I was in a "certain small town" near Savannah the other night, after having dinner with my husd, who is a police officer in said "certain small town". So we're in the parking lot talking and I see a Krispy Kreme donut truck pull up to a gas station. It's a little after midnight and the store has just closed up for the night. So the KK guy gets out of his truck and walks over to this metal box outside the store next to the propane tanks. Now I've noticed these boxes a million times before but never knew what purpose they served. So my husd looks at me and says "Watch this" and points over to the gas station. So the KK guy unlocks the box, which has two doors. He pulls out seven metal trays, takes them back to his truck, and comes back with seven more. What's on these metal trays? Donuts...fresh, piping-hot, sticky donuts. So he loads the fresh donuts into this metal box and locks it back up and leaves. My husd says this is EVERY night.

So why am I disgusted? Let me tell you why. Because my husd showed me that anyone with a small arm could stick their hands in and touch the donuts. They could stick their hands in and spray something on those donuts. Bugs, which are everywhere here in the South, have FREE access to these nice, fresh donuts. The store doesn't open up until 5:30AM so the chances of waterbugs and ants and flies and all sorts of disease-carrying bugs crawling across these donuts is like 110%. But yet, they serve these donuts to their customers FRESH. What makes you think that they don't flick bugs off of them before loading them into the donut cases?

So the next time you go to the gas station and you see a metal box out front, don't eat the donuts. Or better yet, question the gas station about them. Do you really want to be sticking those things in your mouth? I for one DO NOT. I've never been a big donut eater, but if I were, this would certainly cure that.
