A few weeks ago, I entered a donut shop
called Duck Donuts.
Though I rarely eat donuts and unlike
Häagen-Dazs ice cream, I have no
addiction to them.
But I was intrigued by the name, perhaps
partly because I like ducks.
I tried a plain donut to sort of test the taste
in its purer form instead of a donut with
all the bits and extras.
The donut was the best plain donut I ever
tasted, and I wondered if any other
donut shops had plain donuts as good
or better.
I like to experiment, so my plan was to
try plain donuts in other donut shops in
Greensboro, NC where I live.
I did a search with Yelp and saw donut shops
like Dunkin Donuts, Krispy Kreme, and Donut World
To my surprise, days later I got an email from
Yelp, “How was Donut World?”
Now I know Yelp isn’t psychic, so clearly it was
stalking me, but it’s stalking was faulty as
a fake psychic’s guesses, and I’ve not been
to Donut World so far.
