The revolution will not be televised, it'll be sponsored. By TastyKake. That's right, Happy Bastille Day everyone! Vive le Revolution and pass the Krimpets. Krimpets, you say?
Don't let the seeming English provenance of the American confection disturb you on the day commemorating the French Revolution. No, no, no, you silly English knigggghhhttsss.
In Philadelphia today, according to the Star-Ledger, there will be a re-enactment of the storming of the Bastille at Eastern State Prison. And from over the wall will come pounds of butterscotch Krimpets from TastyKake. As the Ledger reports in the Today section, "Let's just say they've taken liberties with history. Armed troops will toss 2,000 Butterscotch Krimpets over the prison walls as Queen Marie (Antoinette) cries, 'Let them eat TastyKake!'"
Mon dieu.
