into a Krispy Kreme shop and they would give you
free original glazed donuts because they were trying to make
things better from the Verizon outage. So krispy Kreme, thank
you for being a beacon in the night when things

donuts when things go south here Technically with our show, there.

Aren't that many donuts in the world, can you guys?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Okay, the equivalent a Krispy Kreme, you know that conveyor
belt that slowly brings the donuts out that have been

like one hundred miles an hour. Start slinging them. Yeah,

They have released three new flavors of cup noodles, Lemon
pepper wings, Garlic Parmesan wings, and Spicy Spicy Buffalo with
ranch wings. They're not trying to replace wings at your
super Bowl party. They just know that it's a real truth.
Wings are delicious, they're also very messy and inconvenient. So

now get it in cup noodles that will be available
in your supermarket before the super.
