I went to Krispy Kreme the other day. I ordered “a dozen chocolate glazed doughnuts.” Pulled around to the window. The lady handed me my box and, in exchange, I handed over my card. I noticed the box was a little heavy but didn’t have time to split hairs since I was in a rush.

Got home and saw these things.

Immediately pissed. However, I wasn’t about to drive all the way back to the store to bitch and moan so I began to eat them, under protest of course. Really, I didn’t trip because last time I went there, the card reading machine was dead for whatever reason so the brother gave me box dozen doughnuts for the free (*crooks index finger to throw up the universal Black man hook-up gang sign*)

Later in the day, my lady stashed the box in the microwave in an effort to conceal them from the kids. At the same time, she had the microwave light on to see something on the oven. Inadvertently, my snowmen got warmed up. And I warmed up to them as a result.

Now, we all know I’m an addict with addict tendencies. I find something I like and I’m gone with the wind. If a brand wants an advocate, all they have to do is give me their product and let me like it. Run to the mountaintop singing its praises is what I’ll do. Fork over my last dime if I have to in order to keep it in stock. True story, I have a particular shea butter soap that I like and buy from a little African shop around the way. I went in a few weeks ago to reup, only to find out their shipment had been delayed and they didn’t know when they were restocking. What did I do? I went home, started Googling and subsequently ordered 15 bars of Madina African black soap with shea butter (see what I did there?). In 2010, I think all these fuckin’ brands should send me and TSS free shit. We’re not just tastemakers & bootleggers; we’re now adding “brand advocates” to our resume.

Now what the hell am I going to do when the holidays are over and they don’t sell these shits anymore?
