Adirec,

It wasn’t an advertising campaign, simply boxes of doughnuts on the shelf — very business as usual. I think it’s the popularity of The Simpsons over here that led to Simpsons brand doughnuts! I found them in my local ASDA, which is part of the Wal-Mart family.

As much stuff as The Simpsons has merchandised, I’m not sure it’s that expensive. But the doughnuts ARE classic! And yes, they sell them every day it seems. Just another brand of doughnut here.

Quite an advertising campaign to get the kids (and adults) eating donuts I guess. Who actually markets them and how did they manage to get the license to use the Homer Simpsons? Must have cost a fortune.

I guess there is money in donuts!!

My art history professor told our class that The Simpsons are popular in France too.
