International Talk Like a Pirate Day 2017…It’s a Bust!

Today is officially International Talk Like a Pirate Day.  However, the freebies are disappointing this year, to say the least. 

Remember the FREE dozen doughnuts for wearing a full pirate costume at Krispy Kreme from past years?  Well, not so this year.  The company has decided not to participate.    They were quoted as saying that you’re still welcome to come in dressed up and enjoy a fun time with your family…they just won’t be giving away any free doughnuts this year, citing that they’ve added other events to their calendar instead.

And remember getting a free piece of fish or chicken from Long John Silvers in past years?  Well, that freebie is gone, too.    Instead, they’ve replaced it with a FREE deep-fried Twinkie for your best pirate phrase. 

ARGH!
