Oh there's nothing over-the-top about this...

Now we'll just wait for Waffle House to come out with the Waffle stuffed with Pancakes and a Cruller:


Even as fast-food chains tout their healthy offerings, they're also coming up with fatty new treats to keep customers interested. Case in point: Dunkin' Donuts is adding a doughnut breakfast sandwich to its national menu this week.

The sandwich, which comes with fried eggs and bacon between a split glazed doughnut, will become a part of the permanent menu starting Friday, which the chain claims is "National Donut Day." Dunkin' Donuts had tested the sandwich in select stores in eastern Massachusetts in April, creating considerable buzz online.

This may actually be a perfect encapsulation of how news is now entirely driven by corporate press release.

This is the Associated Press, fer gawd's sake. While they begin with something that gives the story a superficial appearance of being news through the use of the phrase, "Even as fast-food chains tout their healthy offerings, they're also coming up with fatty new treats to keep customers interested," the rest of it is nothing but a rewritten press release and free advertising.

If that's news, I'm a fuckin' astronaut.

Hell, Attaturk, Krispy Kreme has been doing this for years down south... only they use a greasy bacon cheeseburger on a glazed donut. Out at the county fairs, they're as popular as deep fried butter.
