Is it wrong to make my vegan husband show his vaccine card so he can give me the doughnut? Waiting for my turn, but now I'm hangry.
We'd like to show sweet support to those who have received the COVID-19 Vaccine. Starting today, bring your Vaccine Card to a Krispy Kreme shop and get 1 FREE Original Glazed doughnut. No chance to get your Vaccine? This will run thru end of 2021. Info at bit.ly/3141hMi
