INTRODUCTION On my long journey down Tobacco Road, I never used tobacco products. Long before any health issues, my grandfather warned me of the threat to my economic health from tobacco and alcohol. In his young days, he did distill illegal alcohol. But he made a strong point with me that it was just a product in inventory, and he never touched his inventory.
I’m from Winston-Salem. We used to cut Moravian Church Sunday School in Old Salem and walk over to Main Street for Krispy Kreme donuts & milk. Later when we were teens, we would go to Krispy Kreme on Stratford Road at 11PM on Friday & Saturday night dates for donuts. The boys would have a 1/2 dozen hot off the rack, and we girls would usualy have 2-4. It was the greatest. You couldn’t even hold the hot.ones between your fingers because they would just collapse, and they melted in your mouth. The most delicious thing ever!!!
Love the historical background to this iconic product. I don’t eat them much, but they are mainly sold in 7/11 stores here in Australia. I bet they use a lot more chemicals to improve shelf life, sadly.

I just happen to be staring at an empty box of Krispy Kremes right now.
P.S. I am with your daughter :)

You put a lot of research into this! Another company Kellogs used rollers to make corn flakes with the same rollers used to flatten tobacco!
