Surge!!!

We are lucky enough to have a really cool and delicious donut shop about 20 minutes away from us.  They opened about a year ago and have what seems like a cult following of fans.  These are no ordinary donuts though...they are creative, tasty and sometimes a bit strange.  Our first visit to Strange Donuts was back in April when Ashley and Kalvin came to see us.  We stood out in the long line waiting for our turn to pick out the perfect dozen.  We've made a handful of trips over the last few months, sometimes getting our donuts and sometimes turning around and coming back home without anything because the line is far too long to stand in. 
This past weekend, Strange Donuts promoted "the Surge Done" after they purchased the newly re-released Surge soda. 

D was super excited for "the Surge Done" and since we had some free time before hockey on Friday night, we made the effort to get to the store well ahead of time in order to stand in line for the dones.  For the weekend crowd, Strange Donuts opens up at 9 pm.  At 8:15 pm on Friday, we were parked in front of the store and in line waiting and we were 4th.  Promptly at 9 pm, the doors unlocked and we went in to place our order.  A dozen dones later, including 5 Surge Dones, we were off to hockey.  However, the first donut was gone even before we got back on the road....
Don't worry though, the 4 others we bought are staying safe in our freezer so they can be eaten at a later date.  Since it took 20 years for Surge to be re-released, I don't think D is going to be too quick to scarf down the others.
