Did you know that there are 19 cities where you can send a scary clown to deliver donuts to your friends, family, co-workers or even enemies!?  Hurts Donuts sends off a seriously creepy clown to the person of your choice, to hand deliver a box of donuts.

I (Sarah) HATE clowns, but love donuts.  I’d like to think I would scream, then grab the donuts and run! haha! Here’s where there are Hurts Donuts locations:

  • Springfield, MO
  • Wichita, KS
  • Norman, OK
  • Coralville, IA
  • Lincoln, NE
  • Middleton, WI
  • West Des Moines, IA
  • Joplin, MO
  • Tempe, AZ
  • Tulsa, OK
  • Fayetteville, AR
  • Katy, TX
  • Branson, MO
  • Frisco, TX
  • Oklahoma City, OK
  • Colorado City, CO
  • Kansas City, MO

Who would you  send a clown to freak out (and then get handed donuts)!?

This story came out last year, but it’s new to me (Jeni) this year!  I just about melted and thought it really encompassed the spirit of the season!  So, apparently, a gramma texted who she thought was her grandson about Thanksgiving plans.  He wasn’t her grandson, but asked if he could enjoy the festivities anyway, and she said, “YES!”  It’s now been a few years and he keeps coming back for Thanksgiving!

See the entire story HERE on Facebook.

What feel good stories do you hear every year?

Ohhhhhh my  word! I (Jeni) LOVE everything bagel seasoning, and I LOVE pumpkin seeds!  I never thought of joining the two, though! This is a Pumpkin Seeds with Everything Bagel Seasoning recipe, and guess what – you make the seasoning yourself! YUM!

How do you like to eat pumpkin seeds?

HA! Do you love art? How about abstract art?!  These Abstract Earrings are so unique and awesome!  Plus, they come in a three pack of 2 faces and 1 set of hands (all for only $9.99 by the way).  They are also nickel-free and hypoallergenic, along with being great conversation starters!

Do you have any artsy jewelry?

Check it out! Last week, we showed you that awesome Bob Ross Waffle Maker…and this week, it’s a Bob Ross Coloring Book!  It contains an exclusive authorized collection of Bob’s own paintings, plus quotes and catchphrases!  Sounds pretty relaxing…

How do you relax?

It’s that time of year when we get to tell ghost stories and revive old urban legends!  This is an awesome list of the creepiest urban legend from every state!  I (Sarah) just spend the last 10 minutes reading them and MAN, there are some SCARY stories in this list!

Have you heard the urban legend they list for your state?

Have you heard of a beer caramelizer?  This Campfire Beer Caramelizer helps add a rich, frothy texture, with a sweet and smoky taste to your beer! Apparently, it’s a German tradition to add heat to your alcohol (yes, you can use it for ANY alcohol) because it caramelizes the sugars in it, which changes the texture and taste!  It would totally make an awesome gift for anyone that really loves beer!

What alcohol would you use this in?

OHHHHH YESSS!  I (Jeni) love Kings Hawaiian Rolls and recipes to make with them!  This Chicken Parmesan Slider Bake looks amazing, doesn’t it!? Chicken tenders, Italian cheeses, marinara and the rolls are the stars of this meal!  YUMMMM!

What’s your favorite way to eat Kings Hawaiian Rolls?

    I like those tees. The Chicken Parmesan Slider Bake looks AMAZING! I will be making those soon!

  2. Oh gosh, I’d so have a clown deliver donuts. I’d personally freak if one delivered donuts to me, but my daughter would crack up. She loves those creepy clowns.

  3. CREEPY CLOWNS!! Poltergeist ruined me on them. Love the sliders I use to watch Bob Ross all the time when he was on PBS.

  4. Creepy clowns! Delivering donuts! No no no….I mean, I guess that’s funny but I wouldn’t even answer the door. haha!

    I absolutely love stories of people texting the wrong number. What are the chances? I love that story!!

    • Jeni Hawkins Reply

      BAHAHAHA I wouldn’t answer the door, either!

  5. Ok, my family loves to cook pumpkin seeds in the oven to make them nice and crispy but we usually just use a little salt to flavor them. I have never thought to use anything else like the everything bagel seasoning. Thank you so much for this idea!

  6. I loved the story of the woman who thought she was texting her grandchild. What a sweet story! And I love that they’ve had Thanksgiving together multiple times now. What a cool relationship.

  7. I think my college-aged son would freak out a little if someone sent him some Hurts Donuts. Pumpkin seeds with Everything Bagel seasoning sound awesome.

    • Jeni Hawkins Reply

      Seriously -I would probably have a heart attack!

  8. I am so sad that I cannot have a scary clown deliver donuts in NH 🙁 I bet my youngest son would get a kick out of that. I’d totally order this for him.

  9. What a great Thanksgiving story. It just warms the heart. Where I’m from we have an urban legend about a man who’s daughter disappeared one night and he went out every night searching for her with his lantern. People have reported seeing the light of his lantern as he still searches for her after his death.

    • Jeni Hawkins Reply

      I LOVE this story! And omg what an urban legend you guys have!!!

  10. Pumpkin Seeds with Everything Bagel Seasoning sounds to be so easy to make! We should definitely try it!

  11. Mama Maggie's Kitchen Reply

    Hmmmm yum! That Chicken Parmesan Slider Bake is really mouth watering! My son will surely love this…no doubt!

  12. You’re missing a spot on your Hurt’s Donut listing. Little Rock Arkansas! Yep we recently got a Hurts Donut and when it first opened there were huge crowds. We waited for the crowds to die down a bit and it’s so worth it!

  13. I love all things pumpkin but the pumpkin seeds with everything bagel sprinkled on top are my new favorite snack. I am going to be eating those on the daily.

  14. I have seen one of my friend’s post donuts from Hurt’s. They are the most beautiful creations that I have ever seen. I’m going to have to take my kids one day as a surprise. We also have another donut shop close by that does superhero donuts too.

  15. I love that abstract earring and those t-shirts looks really nice. I would like to check it out.

  16. Nikka Shae Reply

    Ok, I’m so loving those earrings! I would rock those with a cute outfit.

  17. Everything bagel and pumpkin seeds sounds like an awesome combination to me too!!

  18. What a great idea to season pumpkin seeds like that! We love making roasted pumpkin seeds and that would be a fun way to make them.

  19. I’ve seen so many of those cute and funny “quote” shirts online and recently bought one for myself. I would love to try that Pumpkin Seeds with Everything Bagel Seasoning recipe too!

    i don’t care who delivers a donut as long as they dont hut me lol. a donut is a donut lol . bring on the free donuts (i don’t have to pay for it right?

  21. I don’t think I would answer the door to a clown no matter what they were delivering!!! And please order me one of every shirt for fall & tailgating!
