Krispy Kreme doughnuts are like meth to some people. I've been in K-K recovery for 7 years now. Not a day goes by that I don't feel the call. "Come on, you can have just one..."
My family used to have KK (glazed mostly) when I was little. We lived over a hundred miles from a KK, so used to usually go there when visiting my Grandpa in Mobile, AL.
About 30 years ago I scaled myself back to only stopping when the Hot Doughnuts Now sign is on but have since rarely resisted when it is lit. :-)Expect that there will be bumps in the road. Choose to not let them rattle you.

Speaking of donuts (or, for the erudite, such as my chum @msg above
, doughnuts -- nuts of dough): the sine qua non, no kidding.

While I am waxing loquacious on the subject of donute: There's also a place somewhere in one of those Matt Damon/Ben Affleck towns north a' Bahsten (you know, Reveah, Sawguss, Danvahs, Lynn... one a' those) that makes amazing donuts. I am spacing on the name, but we used to take up a collection at work when I was at my last RFT job sometimes on Thursdays so that one of our colleagues could stop by the place and get a passel of them for us to consume on Friday morning.
As an aside: the donut thing is one of the few good memories of that particular company. The best thing I can say about them is that shortly after I retired, the company was bought out by an Asian pharma concern and many of my charming colleagues there -- who were, needless to say, utterly above any form of office politics -- ended up outta work.
____________________________________________________________________________While eating too many doughnuts is doing it wrong much sugar is doing it wrong, there is a place on the way to the Gulf Coast of America beaches that tempts me on every trip. It is Priester's Retail Store on I-65 South just out of Montgomery in Fort Deposit Alabama.
Pick up a few sweet treats to get you through the rest of the week!The highlight of your stop at Priester's will be a visit to the sampling table. Taste many of Priester's most popular pecan candy and baked items. This provides an excellent way to pick your favorite candies before making your final purchases.
Definitely a favorite spot in the store! Come try some samples of our delicious candies today!I have eaten too many free samples a few times and felt awful. I noticed the size of sampling area was more limited after Covid and wasn't open during Covid, but one has to be more determined.
Of course you can't resist feeling guilty and buying a bag full or box of stuff like Pecan Divinity, Pralines, Pecan Brittle, Chocolate Covered Pecans, Pecan Fudge to have at the beach.

Wow, as I was looking at this post, I was looking at it like I look at premium toolboxes, mouth open slightly drooling, eyes glazed over with anticipation of ownership......
My great grandmother had a pecan tree in her backyard, I know homemade pecan pie like no other. Sitting on the patio with my grandfather shucking shells and eating pecans.....good memories

You've nailed something else I can't pass up. Their Fiddlesticks are like Turtles candy in bar form but always fresh (at the store - not always at kiosks) and better. One of the few things I prefer in milk chocolate rather than dark, another being Milk Chocolate McVittie's.

Owning a model of the Titanic at any price especially $2500 WHY?

^^^^^Knowing the amount of time my bil put into his scale model $2,500 doesn't seem that far out of whack for a collector piece.

Are they hollow inside, or are there rooms and compartments?I disabled signatures.

It's actually just an elaborate bourbon whiskey decanter.

My bil's model is meticulous right down to intricate details as it was on the voyage. He has patience that I can only dream about. -
