For those who didn’t grow up in the Carolinas, I’d like to introduce you to two sweet southern delicacies –
The first you’ve probably seen around, as in the last ten years, this fine, fragile flower of southern femininity blossomed from a small town girl, born and bred in Winston Salem, North Carolina, to a true big city gal.

I’m talking, of course, about Miss Krispy Kreme.
You may not, however, have met this fella –

Cheerwine, an obscenely saccharine, cherry flavored soda, from Salisbury, NC.
In a match made in Dixie heaven, the two paired for a limited run and have been gettin’ on like a house afire, selling out around the Carolinas.

Classic glazed KKs, filled with Cheerwine cream and topped with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. Mmmm mmmm.
Well folks, there’s only one week left to sample the product of this sweet, sweet marriage. So get those big wheels a turnin’ and head down to the southland.
Yummy!
