I swear I’m in the middle of, like, three posts, but I had to throw this up here. This morning, Tom needed to bring doughnuts to work, and apparently to answer the question “How do you even make a vegan doughnut?” he decided to bring in vegan doughnuts.
So Voodoo supplied him with this “vegan bucket” for five bucks. It’s a bucket. Of vegan doughnuts. For five dollars.
Update from the office: Especially given the novelty of the bucket, it was a hit with the omnis. There are even reports of some going in for seconds.
Mmmm, donuts!
That’s awesome though. You Portlandians (Porlandics?) are so resourceful.
I want so bad to live in Portland….
Yeah, I’m still in my honeymoon with Portland.
This little veg-friendly city does make life a little easier, and I’m still surprised at the genuinely friendly attitude among shopkeepers, waitstaff, and cashiers. In most cities, you either get that fake nice or the grumbling countdown-til-i’m-off-work brush-off. Maybe it’s the shops I choose to shop at, maybe it’s the strength of unions and decent living wages. I don’t know. But there’s always room for one more.
My god! $5 for an entire bucket of donuts? Was it a special or is Tom in with the Voodoo Donut owners?
It was just there. He went in and was going to order a bunch of doughnuts and the girl pointed out this bucket. I guess maybe they were yesterday doughnuts, but Tom said they weren’t stale. It was just a very lucky day.
When he first told me he was taking vegan doughnuts to work, I did the math–$1.50 each for how many?!
And he brought the bucket home. It was too funny to let go. It’s the container for the white icing; I made the mistake of looking at the ingredients. Voodoo never claimed to be the home of the healthy doughnut, so I don’t know why I was surprised. I only eat the chocolate icing anyway–I’m sure that’s much, much better.
