Party Dos and Donuts
Posted by Lidian on September 8, 2008
“There’s party fun for everyone when Jane Parker Donuts join the festivities!”
When they join the festivities?
What are the donuts going to be doing? I really want to know. Are they sparkling conversationalists? Do they do magic tricks? Dance on tables?
Does Jane Parker also come along for the fun? If so, I hope she brings along Betty Crocker, that saucy wench.
Party donuts are not your ordinary dull, morning-coffee donuts, you see. That cup of coffee is just there to try and keep things a little bit quiet. It’s like the donuts’ chaperone – overheated, breakable, and yet all it can really do is – just sit there.
Those crazy donuts will just ignore the coffee. They’ll be swinging from the chandeliers! Telling dirty jokes! Leaving powdered sugar all over the guests’ fancy clothes (it’s hell on velvet, you know).
The drummer is there because…OK, why IS the drummer there? An escapee from the toy box. He’s going to lay down a groove. Well, if he can. I’m not sure if he can really loosen up. He is made of wood, duh.
Not exactly a Ringo Starr or a Keith Moon, is he.
Still, there are those damn donuts – in a drum. I get it. They’re the ones drumming up the fun. As soon as they get out of the drum, that is. Jane? Betty? Could you just tip them out onto the table? They’ll be fine once they get on a flat surface. Wait till you see them do the Twist!
And the coffee sits there thinking; if only I can get someone to start dunking.

This add is great; I remember these donuts! We used to eat them when I was a kid. Although the powdered sugar ones tasted pretty good, they sure did leave a shower of white powder everywhere.

Who the heck IS Jane Parker??? Those look more like Hostess Donuts to me. Which, really, let’s face it, are no Krispy Kremes or Dunkin Donuts, are they?

Now I know what was missing from my last orgy…er, party. Today’s ads are not as informative as those of years past.

The only thing is with the iced donuts what happens if the powder goes into your hot drink? eeewww

Everytime I come to visit, there’s
good looking food- u make me hungry,

I’ll bet this is a breakfast party. Coffee, doughnuts, a drum; it has all the elements of a balanced breakfast.
Jane refused to appear in the picture, because no Parker woman allows photo documentation while wearing a peignoir or a quilted bed jacket. The Little Drummer Boy was tossed in as a last minute substitute.

These ads – and your accompanying critiques and queries are hilarious. I always look forward to discovering what ‘treasure’ you’ve found for us each day.

“…plump flavorful goodness” why that describes me to a tee. Get out of the way, drummer boy, here comes 3,000,001!!!

All I know is that I LOVE donuts, and if they want to join the festivities, that’s fine by me. They don’t even need an invitation, they can just come as they are!
