Ok, the doughnut wars are escalating! But we are all the benefactors. Well, those of you that like doughnuts anyway. I can understand why Starbucks loves me enough to give everybody free breakfast pastries for my birthday tomorrow. But Tim Horton? Free blueberry doughnuts tomorrow too? I've never even been there (though a work buddy does bring me their hot chocolate from time to time and it is phenomenal). And I don't like doughnuts. But, they're at least trying -- because I love blueberries! Do you ever feel as though you're being personally marketed towards? Maybe that's all the Mad Men we watched last night talking.
But it's like these Canadians are trying to get me to start liking doughnuts and their Canadian coffee. Figures since I have long railed against Dunkin Donuts, their coffee, and their Yankee doughnuts (I champion the Krispy Kreme even though everytime I get a doughnut there it is out of support for the institution and I immediately regret having to actually eat said doughnut). So if this war is making people choose sides, they're hoping I'll cross over the border and fight for Ontario. And maybe I will, though calorically I am only prepared for my Starbucks visit. For now I'm remaining a conscientious objector.
