Doughnuts for Doughboys?

I heard an item on the news today that just screamed for an airing in MPSIMS. So far, no cites but…

One of Canada’s military mavens has suggested that what the boys really need to make their lives in Afghanistan easier is a taste of the familiar - specifically, a “double-double” and some chocolate sprinkles from Tim Horton’s.

For those non-Canadians reading this, Tim’s is a nation-wide doughnut franchise that is as much of a Canadian icon as the maple leaf and the industrious beaver.

You can’t buy publicity like that! :slight_smile:

Why not? It worked in France didn’t it?

I swear to God, I had never seen that article when I created the thread title!
