my god, have you never had a hot krispy kreme donut?! they're amazing,
and they *must* be eaten while hot. it's a completely different
experience. when they're hot, you don't so much eat them as inhale; you
don't swallow, really, you just... absorb. they're the donut equivalent
of cotton candy.
ding ding.
