Today's disappointment

I had my second eyeball checkup this morning at 8:30... Everything seems to be coming along just fine. That's not the disappointment. But because Juanita is used to traffic congestion in Hamilton, we left here at 7:30. But there was no congestion, we got there in no time and since she didn't have breakfast and was hungry, we stopped at Tim Horton's. She got a breakfast bagel combo but I wasn't hungry so just ordered a tea and donut. That was the disappointment: the donut. It looked so tempting in the case, a chocolate covered cruller with whipped stuff in the hole. The chocolate was more sugar than cocoa, the whipped stuff was cool whip, and the cruller itself was dry. That was my disappointment.

You obviously didn't enjoy the donut. It happens sometimes

That was a disappointment. I haven't had a donut in ages, but I do have to say that there is such a difference in the coffee from one location to another. I find the temperatures are never the same.

I drink tea, so I wouldn't know.

Oh I hate it when that happens. I am glad there was no traffic congestion, though.

Oh, I’m so glad it wasn’t your eye! Not that a bad excuse for a donut isn’t disappointing…

I would be very disappointed. When I look at something that looks tempting and the taste is poor, I feel so deceived, I would say "scammed".

That certainly does not sound like a tasty donut,

The worst, I think, was the cool whip substitued for the whipped cream.

I basically never buy doughnuts, they are never anywhere near as good as they look.

I don't mind the ones made of actual dough, but the cake ones, forget it.

Glad to hear the eye checkup went well—that’s the most important part of the morning sorted!

Glad your eye checkup went well! Too bad the donut didn't live up to how good it looked. That's always disappointing

I can imagine your disappointment. The way you've described it - it would have looked so good!

It certainly looked better than it was. I'll stick to regular honey crullers
