DUNKIN' DONUTS
From the March 25th Chicago Tribune said that one of my favorite places, Dunkin' Donuts turned 60. It was founded in Massachusetts back in 1950 by Bill Rosenberg. Back then, Mr. Donut was a major competitor, a problem he solved by buying the company. They also managed to ward off that growth spurt of Krispy Kreme a few years back.
Today, there are over 6,500 franchises in the US, but only 200 west of the Mississippi River.
Around here, there seems to be one in every town.
TWINKIES
Hostess Twinkies turns 80 today according to today's Chicago Tribune. It was conceived right here in Chicago by bakery manager James Dewar and Hostess cranks out over 500 million of the sift, spongy cakes every year.
One packet contains two of the cream-filled treats, along with 300 guilt-free calories. It just tastes s-s-s-s-o-o-o-o- good!!
