Tom, states they use wax additives to make shiny chocolate. Just an
aside
for him. I don't eat chocolate donuts. The chocolate always tastes
phoney.

Any donut you eat has wax and the solvents to go with it.

Like jelly donuts?

BBBAAWWWAAAHHHHAAAA!!! :)



I like raised, glazed donuts. Jelly donuts have always set my teeth on
edge, so I do not eat them. Best donuts were at Ortman's on Fairmont
Ave, in El Cerrito when I was growing up. $0.06 for donut and a real
ice-cream shake for $0.32.
When did you 'grow up'....during the 'Great Depression'?

I am 62. Inflation was an unacceptable 3.5% when Nixon instituted wage and
price controls. The real excalation of prices did not occur until after
Nixon left. Up until that time, all amendments to a spending bill had to be
germane to the bill. He agreed to the rule change as part of the exit
package. Then Congress (Democratic Party controlled at the time) went to
court and got a ruling that any money bill passed, required that the money
be spent. Up until that time, the Executive branch did not spend all the
money allocated. Got rid of a lot of the pork projects. My $1mm house was
sold new, without pool and addition for $36.5k in 1972. That 17% inflation
during the Carter years, yields a doubling of prices in about 4.2 years.
(rule of 72) We had good penny candy in the 1950's. The donuts were that
price when I was a junior in highschool and I graduated from HS in 1961. If
you were a teacher, you were one of those that did not teach the students
anything worhwhile about finances.
