Socrates never answered questions. In fact he taught by only asking them, claiming that students already know the answer, they just don’t know they know it. DuckDuckGo “Socratic method”
In Portland (OR) we have Voodoo Donuts. It’s a destination place; “Oh we really want to go to Voodoo while we’re visiting!” kind of thing. You can periodically spot the pink boxes in TV shows and movies. You can easily spend $40/dozen there.
In a blind taste test of donuts from 12 shops in Portland, Voodoo came in dead last, below some grocery store donuts. Go figure.
If you’ve ever been to a cider mill, you would KNOW the answer to the first question. If nothing else, the aroma of the crushed apples is heavenly. Then there’s the “apple cider mini-donuts” that are covered in cinnamon-sugar and sold by the baker’s dozen.
I’ve always loved, and tried to live by, the ethic of Be Here Now. But there’s a corollary to remember, too, especially now that we have so many ways to virtually experience so much without actually experiencing it: Be There When That’s Where Stuff Is Happening.

I’m pretty sure there’s no shared experience with tens of thousands of people at the cidery.

Both experiences separate the “die-hard” from the nominal fans.

I bet Frazz has read and/or seen “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” and enjoyed the game of questions.
