Stand and Deliver: Krispy Kreme Pirate Day

At the local Krispy Kreme, with Kenneth the Doughnut Swabby.

Avast ye SeaDogs! Today is "Talk Like a Pirate Day."

With the popularity of the Disney pirate films in recent years, "Talk Like a Pirate Day" has gotten favourable south winds in its sails, and companies like Krispy Kreme Doughnuts are seeking their share of the promotional "booty."


Today only, in a fun PR promotion, some Krispy Kreme locations are offering one free doughnut to anyone who comes in to their store and talks like a pirate. For those customers who are a little bit more adventurous, Krispy Kreme will give 12 free doughnuts to anyone who comes in DRESSED like a pirate.

Shiver me timbers! This type of craziness is my "cup of grog"! Not only do I get to TALK and DRESS like a pirate...but to be REWARDED for doing so is more than enough reason to venture out early on a stormy Thursday morning for hot, fresh doughnuts.

Yo Ho! to Krispy Kreme doughnut master Kenneth who was a real sport to pose for this photo with me. (The other clerk was not much of a "Jolly Roger" with her chin dragging on the "poop deck"! FYI-The floggings will continue until morale improves. Savvy?)

So swash your buckle on down to the Krispy Kreme shop on Highway 100 in Milwaukee today and say "Ahoy!" to Kenneth and the crew for your tasty doughnut treasure!

Inspired by the letter: Arrrr!
