They should have called it what it is: an eclair. If we expanded our view from national to international there would be even more confusion and mixed sentiment. My point is simple, if you are responsible for marketing something you should also be aware of where you are marketing it to. Local or regional is one thing but national or international is very different. To reiterated what I said initially...it's not what you say, it's how you say it. Thanks for the comment.

Long johns are a pretty standard donut in the midwest. It's just an eclair. I think it’s a regional thing. Long johns are a pretty standard donut in the midwest. It’s just an eclair.
