Ladies, ladies, ladies... just look at yourselves. Is this where you thought you'd be in your twenties? Digging through garbage on the side of the street for a Cronut? It's time to really take a look at some choices you've made in life, starting with the decision to dig through trash for a piece of discarded pastry.
The tipster who sent us this photo witnessed this all go down last night outside of Dominique Ansel Bakery, telling us that "it wasn't even a finished Cronut... it was burnt and unfilled." The bakery never has Cronuts to toss out at the end of the day, so this was just a casualty from the frying process. Our tipster added, "It was a really sad moment. One of the cooks ran out and told them it was unsafe to eat, and they cursed at her and ran away."
Just two young ladies trying to make it in this crazy world...
