happy halloween ladies gentlemen and everyone watching yeah you can see i actually have a
full-blown cape on today uh it is halloween a special halloween edition of running on empty
food review i'm your host the report of the week and i do wish all of you watching a very happy
and healthy halloween yeah here we are i am going as dracula today uh so many
people say that i look like a vampire as is so i put on some vampire makeup put on the cape
and here we go we are going all out today for halloween but we really are halloween is one of
those holidays where for me i had mixed views about it at first i was not a fan of halloween
i never really liked it all that much um but over the years i've gotten a greater
appreciation of it to tell you the truth and i still think some things about it are silly
but i do like the aesthetic of it overall and uh decided to have a little bit of fun today to um
not to just have have a uh have a good time we're going to try out some halloween donuts
we've got lots of halloween uh regalia and you can see maybe you hear some halloween uh lawn
mowers in the background but we got candy we've got some halloween decorations some lights i mean
we we're going all out today but uh if i sound a little strange and i don't know how this really
um converts to the camera i did get a lot of major dental work done earlier in the
week uh it was actually a procedure because i was saying i really like halloween nowadays
um i go all out for it now so because i was going with the vampire costume i actually got my teeth
surgically molded in order to actually look more like a vampire's fangs but as a result it does
recover it does require some recovery time so that's why i sound a little weird no i'm just
joking i had a crown lengthening down on one of my molars and had to cut away some of the
gum and all this and it was a major surgery i was knocked out uh with the anesthetic i have a ton of
stitches in my mouth right now but uh you know hey i feel up to it today so i wanted to check in let
you all know how it's going but you know it hurts to talk a little bit hurts to move my jaw but um
you know better than yesterday every day seems to be better than the next so that's good i like
capes i think that they're pretty interesting but the one thing about capes is that they do get in
the way of things so i am going to remove it for now but you can see we are going with standard
suit and tie underneath but yeah you know it's been a busy week it's been a yeah it's been a
busy week had a lot of stuff done the the surgery was done on tuesday so i gave myself a couple days
to rest again i still need to rest more i have to eat certain things do all this but um since
it's been a couple days i figure we're going to go ahead and we're going to try doing this review
so when you think of halloween i think you traditionally think of of the candy right you
think of the halloween candy and all that stuff going uh trick-or-treating right you know you
can get some of the good stuff right there but one thing that i think screams halloween more
than any sort of candy is donuts donuts to me is the most halloween thing there is uh hands
down no doubt about it and uh one of the places best known for donuts of course is krispy kreme
so they have these seasonal donuts out i figure they'll be available for the rest of the day today
at least maybe more i mean i don't know you know you might find some poor neglected halloween donut
you know still sitting there in december i don't know but uh they have all these different types of
halloween donuts i got a little bit of variety pack and we'll just try a few of them out just
for the fun of it you can see there i am with them let's just get a thumbnail here while we're at it
you know something like that um but yeah you can see they have these different flavored donuts
all these different things um this one here is modeled after the surface of mars right because
that's real halloween esque um you've got this one right which is supposed to resemble a bowling ball
all right this one actually is a modeled after me you can see they really got the hairline they
got that all all good they got the purple skin um they even got the blood there you know after
the dental surgery and everything so uh this is really spot on this is me uh they've got this one
all right it looks like a traffic cone right there and then finally uh this is frankenstein
so those are the uh halloween donuts that they have you know they're all different
types we're just going to try out two of them because again i'm probably not even supposed to
be eating these right now but i'm just going to do it carefully and we'll go from there the two that
are most interesting to me the dracula one and the uh i suppose that's frankenstein because those
have different fillings in them and uh that should be fun at least to try i think the dracula one is
supposed to be raspberry filling you can kind of see i got the whole box of donuts for about
seven dollars by the way which is a pretty good deal all things considered
but uh i'm just going to try them out we'll go from there we'll just try out these two again i'm
sorry that this isn't like a full-blown you know review um but just given the circumstances i hope
you understand so i'm going to use this this skull right here as my plate and we'll go from there now
because it's going to take me a while to eat this i'm just going to pause the camera and then we'll
go from there so first we're going to try out the dracula donut from krispy kreme it's going in
okay because you know they said i'm only supposed to eat on this side of my mouth because this is
where i have all the stitches and everything so trying to be careful um after picking at this one
you can see i even ate the eye and everything it's pretty good it's a novelty doughnut and
all that stuff um my only complaint is that i wish there was more raspberry filling you know when you
zoom in here let me see you know you got all this empty space right here i wish there was a little
more raspberry filling um the frosting doesn't really taste like anything special it's a standard
you know sweet uh sugary frosting it's really just a jelly doughnut you know the raspberry
filling is flavorful soft it's chewy but i just wish there was a little more raspberry filling
but i think these aren't necessarily supposed to be the world's most gourmet doughnuts
uh rather they're just supposed to be something fun and decorative
to eat for halloween you know just for um you know just for bleeps and giggles as they say so uh no
i mean for what it is it's pretty good again i personally i wish there was a little more jelly
um in the jelly donut and second we're just going to try real quick uh the frankenstein one you know
right there kind of looking at you i don't really know what emotion it's trying to convey but
looking at you either way try that you can see it actually does have a little pretzel stick i
don't know if i'll be able to conquer that but we'll try it so now we're going to try out the
frankenstein donut from krispy kreme going in all right looking at it here a similar problem
you know it's good it's tasty um this one is very sweet it's got like this cream filling
in it um but again take a look there's not a lot of it ah there's the pretzel stick that's where
it was and um i was able to eat it but you can see again very doughy but not a lot of filling
in this but overall the um yeah this is like a vanilla type cream filling in there
so it just makes for very sweet very very sweet um doughnut but again my only complaint
is that i wish you got a little more filling you know for what you're uh for what you're
getting that's just my one thing that's just my my one my one complaint not even much of a
complaint i mean it is what it is but uh that's just what i always like i like a little bit more
not to the extent where it gets in the way of things but that's just how i like it so um overall
though i would give the donuts probably a uh probably a 6.7 out of 10. you know they could have
a little bit of adjustment a little bit of uh some tweaking you can say wherever they can just be a
little better with that filling but overall look the two one the two that i tried right there were
pretty good for what they are you know seasonally themed just something fun to eat why not if you're
a donut aficionado may as well just go get and you know see how you like them that's all i
have for you ladies and gentlemen again sorry for any missteps or whatever during this video
i didn't even know if i was going to be able to do this one today uh yesterday i tried to film this
and i just couldn't do it it just hurt too much but um i'm glad i'm able to kind of be here and uh
and do this halloween blowout today so every day i think we'll get a little better than the
next in terms of recovery and uh we'll go from there accordingly but in the meantime
please be safe out there be healthy and have a very happy halloween take care i'm your host
the report of the week today we tried out some of the halloween donuts from krispy kreme that's all
