How many donuts for people coming over the day after Thanksgiving?

[Anonymous]

I would never serve donuts for breakfast. I'm with the poster who asked if you would put a cake out for breakfast, because that's what donuts are. Dessert. And while I'm at it...waffles, pancakes, and bagels aren't meals either. Just carb bombs. Anyone just eat French fries for dinner? I don't get it.

They would peel it in the car, where the orange will dribble juice while they are picking the skin off in pieces. Now there are 20 pieces of orange skin - is there a trash bag? Then they break the orange in sections, creating more juice and now their hands are sticky. While they are eating it, there are possible seeds that need to be spit out.

The only "easy" grab and go fruits are banana, apple, pear and seedless grapes. And all of these would need a trash bag. The easiest fruit option is to put mixed berries in sandwich size Ziplocs.

Agree.

I don't see how a bunch of jelly filled, powdered and glazed donuts is any less of an issue than an orange in the car.

Nope. Absolutely nowhere to stop and get whatever they need On Their Own.

2 dozen donuts are fine. People are so entitled.

No one has suggested more than 2 dozen donuts.

When we visit out of town relatives, we've flown there, so we'd be taking this 2 hour trip in someone else's car. Which means that stopping isn't up to us.

Are you kidding? They have suggested bagels, hard boiled eggs, pumpkin bread, fruit of all kinds (not just bananas), yogurt cups, cottage cheese cups, and my favorite, a "starbucks grab and go box"!

Hard boiled eggs before a road trip?

Fart o rama.

I want to be there when the PP gives a couple of cottage cheese cups to the teenage boys.

With a salad

Butterhead lettuce with unsweetened balsamic vinaigrette.

I have definitely just eaten french fries for dinner.

Do people actually eat pears without peeling and slicing them?

"... The child wanted chocolate cake for breakfast! How ridiculous! And I said... and someone in my brain looked under chocolate cake and saw the ingredients: eggs! Eggs are in chocolate cake! And milk! Oh goody! And wheat! That's nutrition! "What do you want?" "Can I have some chocolate cake?" "Chocolate cake coming up."

Yes, of course.

Pears are drippy, much messier than a glazed donut.

What kind of neanderthals are so uncouth as to turn themselves and a car into a sticky mess when eating a simple donut?

Do these people still eat with the dinner graces of the average 2 year old?

People. It is not that difficult to eat a donut without making a mess.

Pears are eaten like apples, on the core. Who slices and peels pears?

Donuts are very messy in a car. Sticky fingers. Oozing cream. Drops of jelly. Flakes of powder over face and car seat. Chunks of glaze chipping off. There is nothing clean about holding and biting a donut. 🍩. And then you feel disgusting from just eating sugar — all to show up and Aunt Sally’s for lunch. No thank you.

I have no idea what this means. I am a) a dad, to b) daughters. But I was once, many years ago, a teenage boy, and I can visualize my reaction to "here's some cottage cheese for breakfast before a 2 hour drive. I thought about getting donuts, but realized you'd like something healthier instead."
