| Good morning, it's Nathan hoping you have a sweet Wednesday. |
| 🍩🍩 If one donut wasn't enough, how about two? |
| Krispy Kreme made a splash earlier this year by offering one free donut per day to customers who show their COVID vaccine cards. Now, they're upping it to two from Aug. 30 through Sept. 5. |
| "The FDA approving one of the vaccines is a meaningful step in making people a lot more comfortable with how they take vaccines," Krispy Kreme CEO Mike Tattersfield told our Kelly Tyko in an exclusive interview. "And if we can encourage folks, we're giving away a second ... in the shape of a heart." |
| Since the promotion began March 22, the company has given away more than 2.5 million donuts to vaccinated customers. |
| Are they unhealthy? Sure. |
| But, listen, we'll all go on a diet after the pandemic is over, OK? |

| The roller coaster, which opened in 2017, apparently reaches speeds of nearly 112 mph in just 1.56 seconds. |
