The Weekly Donut 4/19

In 1953, it took 27 hours to make one Peep; today, it takes 6 minutes. Check out more Peep facts here.

Get ready to indulge in all things food news...

A vegan walks into a fast-food restaurant and what do they order? A plant based protein! First, Red Robin served up an Impossible Burger, then Burger King announced the Impossible Whopper, and now Del Taco (raise your hand if you've never heard of Del Taco...nope, just me? okay.) is introducing Impossible Tacos. Kudos to them, but they're all a little late to the game. In 2014, Chipotle introduced an organic tofu to their lineup.

The Easter Money is coming...I mean Bunny! It's reported that Americans are expected to spend about $18.11 billion on Easter this year and $2.49 billion of that is just on candy. Wow, sounds like my mom has been a little cheap cheap with my Easter baskets. Peeps aren't the only candy the Easter Bunny is bringing this year, check out these new treats trying to steal the spotlight.

Talk about a win win win…

Buy weed and get free ice cream... like I needed any more of an incentive to smoke weed. Ben and Jerry's is teaming up with Caliva, a dispensary, to give away free ice cream with the purchase of weed. I hate to be a downer, but this is only a thing if you live in the Bay Area. Brb booking a one-way flight to San Fran ASAP.

Donut forget that Taco Bell is giving away free burritos now until May 11th. Order online or thru Taco Bell’s app and you’re entitled to a free breakfast burrito. Ice cream, burritos, and weed? Sounds like your Saturday just got a whole lot better. You're welcome.

Drooling over Insta stories...

Klohe Kardashian threw her daughter, True Thompson, a whimsical first birthday party. And by whimsical, I mean a ridiculous, over-the top, way too expensive birthday party for a one-year-old. But I'm still jealous. The pastel colored party was filled with balloons, ponies, and oh so many desserts. There were cake pops and cake cones and cookies and pretzel sticks (decorated ones, not like the ones you find at your local corner bar) and donut walls and cotton candy (which you could choose if you wanted it to look like a pig, panda, dog, or duck!) and unicorn cake. Woo, that was a mouthful. Can babies even eat this stuff?

Foodchella. Move over Ariana Grande, Postmates is headlining and the food is just as sweetener. This year, the vendors went all out creating beautiful bowls, vibrant ice creams, and face wine (that's frozen wine with your face printed on it... drink yo'self!). The only reason I would suggest getting a VIP wristband for Coachella is so you can access even more vendors. Go for the food, stay for the music!
