Holey Donuts
Brothers and sisters, let us bow our heads in prayer.
The dark days of longing for sinfully decadent pastries are over. The day has come when we can satisfy our temptations with something holey. As in Holey Donuts.
Get your daily bread in the form of center-filled assortments like Boston cream, coconut cream pie, apple caramel, and strawberry shortcake or traditional centerless donuts in varieties such as classic vanilla, marble frosted, or dolce latte. And the gourmet cinnamon buns will answer your stomach’s prayers.
The heavenly creations are low fat, low calorie, and just as pure as their name suggests. Each is handcrafted and free of evildoers like trans fats, fat substitutes, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and cholesterol. They’re even delivered fresh to your front door the day after they’re ordered.
And since they’ve got a fifth of the fat and a fraction of the calories of regular donuts, you can indulge your lust without guilt.
Amen to that.

Vanishing Creatures Chocolates
Koala bear: I can’t believe we’re dead.
Hippo: I know. It sucks.
Gorilla: At least we’re immortalized in chocolate.
Koala: It’s just an adjustment. I used to be cute and furry. But now I’m delicious.
Gorilla: We owe everything to Walteria Living. It was their idea to make animal game heads out of chocolate. They cast pygmy hippos, mountain gorillas, and koalas — all endangered species. It’s a real statement.
Hippo: A tasty statement. I’m made of dark chocolate and hand-poured in L.A. by a fancy specialty chocolatier. My statement is fancy pants.
Koala: No, doofus. The statement is about ending animal cruelty, protecting endangered species, and promoting animal welfare. They donate partial proceeds to the WSPA, the world society for the protection of animals. It’s a global movement.
Hippo: Oh, I get it. We’re ironic.
