I’ll take an iced tea and a cruller, please!

July 24th, 2008

While in NYC and I went to a Dunkin Donuts for some iced tea. I noticed that the calories were posted for everything. When I first heard about that, I thought it sounded like a terrible idea, but actually, upon seeing the calories posted right there in front of my nose, I was intrigued.

First, I learned that a corn muffin at Dunkin Donuts clocks in at over 500 calories. That’s something that I would normally think, “OK, that’s a slightly healthier alternative to a donut!” But now I’ll never think that again. On the other hand, a cruller is only 150 calories!! I’ve always liked crullers, but for some reason when I’m on the go, I’d always reach for a muffin thinking it was the least-bad-for-you option.

My fav, a chocolate glazed, is 340 and my second favorite, chocolate with coconut is 370. Their chocolate chip cookies are a whopping 540 calories!! YIIIIIIIKES.

So, yeah…I think next time I’m at a Dunkie’s I’ll settle for a cruller :-)

Twitter loses followers

July 24th, 2008

I’ve been frustrated with Twitter before, but now…straw, meet camel’s back. Twitter loses member’s follower lists.

Bravo, Twitter. You continue to be an interesting service that’s so incredibly poorly executed.
