Krispy Kreme To Celebrate Inauguration With Donut Giveaway
Hey there true American, Krispy Kreme wants to help celebrate the inauguration of your new President by giving you a free donut. Or as Krispy Kreme, defender of America as the land of the obese would probably prefer to rebrand them, freedom bagels. Here's how it works: Obama is inaugurated and you get a donut.

The Inauguration Day promotional offer is good for one doughnut of choice per customer on Jan. 20. No purchase is necessary. To find a participating store near you, visit Krispy Kreme's Store Locator:

2. Yay! A free greasy sponge!
Horrible donuts. They should be classified as Hazmat.

3. Pity, all the Krispy Kremes in Minnesota shut down.
They opened here during their franchising heyday, meaning they were over-extended with too much pressure to sell. After the initial craziness subsided (police were no longer needed to manage the traffic!), the normal flow of customers wasn't enough to sustain the stores.

And I don't care if they're sugar, processed flour, and fat. They are fucking delicious. I allowed myself one or two as a treat once a month. Nothing wrong with that.

6. Donuts, Muffins and Bagles, I don't see much difference in them
healthwise. So I'm going to enjoy the one that is most pleasing to me. I'm going for the glazed.

7. I'll pass.
I'm not normally a donut eater but I tried one once. It was the most syrupy sweet grossest thing I'd ever tasted. I took one bite and threw the rest out. I couldn't drink enough water to get that taste out of my mouth.
