      Exactly.

        I could go with you here if every announcer wasn't prepped to sound orgasmic about it on every broadcast.

        The genesis of the double entendre is the only thing noteworthy about the CougarTail for me. I don't think people were calling women cougars until like 2006 or so and I feel like the CougarTail appeared just slightly earlier. Unfortunate or fortunate? That's up to you to decide. Zach Wilson of course upped the ante. Announcers talk about it because they get a free one pushed on them but I think they also love the layered meaning.

          Definitely fortunate timing. 100%.

            I love the CougarTail. I haven't tried any of the variants. The only improvement I might try would be to add bacon on top. Bacon makes everything taste better.

              As much as I love the idea of bacon paired with maple, for whatever reason it just doesn't work on a maple bar for me. I've yet to have a maple bar w bacon where I thought "Ok, that definitely made this thing better than a plain maple bar". IN fact, I've usually thought "that was good, but probably would have been better without the bacon." I know this goes against the "bacon makes everything better" adage, but I think it's one of the exceptions that proves the rule.

                It may be we just need to find the right bacon to go with it. This year would be a great year to introduce it with the departure of the BYJew.

                  I have a faint memory of a predecessor to the Cougartail. Not sure if it was called that or not, but I remember having a footlong hot dog inside of a maple bar at the MC during law school. That was heaven and I don't think chocolate would have made it better.

                    Ha ha coffee, no. Foot long hot dog inside of an 18" donut, yes.

But admittedly, a maple bar was my favorite donut all throughout childhood (displaced in adulthood by the Tasty's double-blueberry) and a day-old donut is better than most sweet treats, if i'm being honest. So there's plenty to love about an 18" maple bar, IMO. Sure, it would be better fresh, but logistically that's just not feasible on the scale they are doing. I'm sure they could fry and glaze the donuts fresh, right there in a booth at the stadium. But the line would be a mile long and 250 people total would get a donut.
                      Tasty's is probably the best donut shop in the state. Better than Banbury Cross (which I like). They have a pumpkin spice donut that is actually good.

                        Tastys - the one in Kaysville? If so I agree, with one caveat - For Standard yeast donuts - I think Bowman's Market is better

                        My favorite (when I could consume that fried dough) was Bowman's lemon bismarks

                        I may be small, but I'm slow.
