I am a sick individual. Unless I photograph and document this crap, I am merely a middle-aged man horking down cookies alone in his room. Technically, I still am.<\/p>\n<p>These cookies are very flaky and soft, which is an evil plan to make you place one on the palm of your hand and eat it whole like a horse to keep it from crumbling. I managed to space them out over two days so I didn&#8217;t die in my sleep. They kinda taste like candy corn, but it doesn&#8217;t matter. Lofthouse makes cookies that would drive a certain blue Muppet monster into a feeding frenzy.

If you live outside of the franchise, let me tell you a few things about Krispy Kreme.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/krispykreme.com\/location\/atlanta\" target=\"_blank\">The one I frequent<\/a> is open 24 hours, and has a drive-thru.<\/li>\n<li>They&#8217;re always busy. If I go, I expect a line.<\/li>\n<li>If you inhale within a three-block radius of the shop, there is an 85% chance you will go in and buy donuts. It reminds me of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Glen_Rock,_New_Jersey\" target=\"_blank\">where I grew up<\/a>, in the wake of the Nabisco building.<\/li>\n<li>The Krispy Kreme box, white with green polka dots, is a common sight in places where people gather and are happy.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve never been, but I&#8217;ve heard that the coffee at Dunkin Donuts is terrific.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Clockwise from the top:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pumpkin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My heartbeat is slightly irregular. This is why I space these updates out, I have to recover in between. I should also point out that the vision in my left eye is blurry for some reason. Pumpkins are orange; this donut is orange.<\/p>\n<p>There is a puma on Mt. Ararat, which is unusual because the puma is not native to Mt. Ararat. No information exists about it on the internet; searching only brings you to this page. Whether this lends weight to a &#8220;hollow earth&#8221; theory is a moot point, but it is certainly a sin of omission.<\/p>\n<p>Aka-maka-muka! Does that make sense? I don&#8217;t know anymore. I HAVE BEEN EATING DONUTS ALL DAY.<\/p>\n<p>This was a very delicious creme-filled donut. The jack-o-lantern face is thick frosting. I foresee terrible dreams tonight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oreo Kookies &amp; Kreme<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible that I imagined that spelling above. Once you&#8217;re inside a Krispy Kreme, and you&#8217;re close enough to the conveyor belt to smell the brand-new donuts choodling along on it, it&#8217;s easy to lose your head.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t a Halloween donut, but as I said, the Monster and Spiderweb varieties were sold out, and I was getting a half-dozen ($5 with coupon). Nobody goes into a Krispy Kreme and purchases just five donuts. Nobody. The very idea is farce.<\/p>\n<p>This was indescribably delicious, but it isn&#8217;t nice of me to rub it in. If you enjoy the taste of Oreos, this donut will make you want to marry it. It&#8217;s my favorite out of the specialty donuts I bought.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hot Now (2)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please be aware: I do not possess photographic evidence of angelic halos. This is an all too common mistake. Those are donuts in the photo above. MERE GLAZED DONUTS. I saw them come off the conveyor myself.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the shiny conveyor belt, lay a small pile of discarded donuts, atop the garbage can. While I waited in line to place my order, no fewer than three customers practically <em>begged<\/em> to buy the donuts on top of the garbage. I myself was moved to purchase two hot ones after gazing at the discard pile.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s how good Krispy Kremes are. People would literally pay to eat the garbage. Can you imagine a higher endorsement?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Halloween Sprinkle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I took this for a regular sprinkly chocolate donut until I started eating it. It&#8217;s got a smoky extra zing to it I can&#8217;t place. Folks, I&#8217;m a lot of things, but a culinary writer ain&#8217;t one of &#8217;em. I&#8217;m doing the best I can here. It&#8217;s good, but few things compare to the Hot Glazed. (Note: if your donut cools off, you can put it in the microwave for 8 seconds and restore it to its former glory almost entirely.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pumpkin Spice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is I think only the second PS item I&#8217;ve eaten this October. It&#8217;s good, a cake donut, not too strong on the spice or the pumpkin. I think the backlash on this flavor ceased because people realized there were better things to get irritated about. Also I think that this one and the Halloween Sprinkle got swept under by the flashier cream donuts. Such is the circle of life in the season of Samhain.<\/p>\n<p>Thank god this is over.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blomer.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"814\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/all-hallows-eats-iv-kreme-warriors\/blomer\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blomer.jpg?fit=350%2C263&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"350,263\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-title=\"blomer\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blomer.jpg?fit=350%2C263&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-814\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blomer.jpg?resize=350%2C263\" alt=\"blomer\" width=\"350\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blomer.jpg?w=350&amp;ssl=1 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blomer.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is it folks; the final chapter for 2015.
