The Weekly Donut 3/2

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

Alexa, I'm hungry.

Amazon has opened their first cashier-less grocery store and how come we feel like this has already been open for years? Amazon Go Grocery has officially opened in Seattle selling fresh produce, meat, seafood, bakery items, household essentials, dairy, easy-to-make dinner options, beer, wine, spirits, and more... so basically everything a grocery store should sell. The way it works is shoppers scan their Amazon Go app and as they're shopping, cameras and sensors will track the items you remove from shelves and add it to a virtual cart. When you leave the store, you will automatically be charged for the items you walked out with. And we don't care if our every move is being tracked or if Russia knows our identity because what's better than no lines?! I've been wishing for this day ever since I had to leave the Whole Foods' line and walk out without my over-priced sushi and cold brew that I deff can't afford because there were too many hipsters and guys in business suits in line.

Kourtney Kardashian revealed her signature salad recipe even though no one was asking for this. Posted on Poosh, Kourtney's blog, you can learn how to make the egg, avocado, and tomato dish. IMO, this salad is the least interesting of salads to look at.

DoorDash-ing to the bank

DoorDash announced that it has filed confidentially to go public, but like doesn't this make it un-confidential? Idk I'm not an econ kinda guy. Although the company, which is valued at over $13B, filed, no information about share prices have been revealed yet. If you'd like more information about what this really means and about IPOs, feel free to message that kid you graduated with who is now wearing a business suit in line at Whole Foods.

Speaking of DoorDash, they've officially started delivering Krispy Kreme, which we don't think is any coincidence in timing because this is sure to raise their stocks! You can get fresh doughnuts delivered right to your door thru the app if you live within a 10 mile radius of a Krispy Kreme. And if you're not living within 10mi of a Krispy Kreme then wyd honey? And speaking of our fav doughnut chain (sorry Dunkin,' but ever since you dropped 'donuts' from your name, we just can't trust you), you can get a Chocolate Glazed Doughnut on Friday 3/6 WHICH IS APPARENTLY ONLY AVAILABLE ONE DAY A MONTH!

Oh we're not done with donut news quite yet. Krispy Kreme has partnered with Butterfinger candy and we don't even like Butterfingers but we'd still eat this doughnut. Introducing...

Brb, pulling up my DoorDash app now.

Jif Peanut Butter teamed up with Giphy to launch a social media campaign that reignites the age old question: are the animated looping images pronounced JIF or GIF?? Either way, you can now buy a limited edition jar of peanut butter with the word 'Gif' printed as the Jif label. Now I would like to start my own debate: crunchy or smooth? (the only correct answer is crunchy)

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard

It's March and you know what that means. No, not March Madness. No Karen, we don't care that you get to bust out your 'Kiss me I'm Irish-ish.' shirt. It's #ShamrockShakeSZN at McDonalds! This is the 50th anniversary of the deliciously artificial green drink and McDonalds is celebrating by auctioning off an 18-karat gold cup that's worth $90,000. The cup is adorned with "50 green emeralds and white diamonds- representing 50 years of Shamrock Shake flavor and delicious whipped topping. There are 50 yellow diamonds in each of the Golden Arches for 50 years of being a fan fave at McDonalds." Right now, the highest bid is $32,100 and the eBay auction ends on Friday (3/6). All proceeds go to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. This just screams shit that white people will spend their money on.
