This morning, Eater National posted a pretty insane picture of people standing in line for hours to buy the trademarked
cronuts from Dominique Ansel bakery in New York City. The croissant-doughnut hybrids
have been selling like, well, cronuts (who orders hotcakes anymore?), and the bakery
now suggests lining up two hours prior to its 8 AM opening for a chance at the pastries.
(Note: There’s a two-per-person limit.)
