Something Sweet

At a lunch with friends (who happen to also be colleagues at work), one friend gave all of us Tennessee T-Cakes. I shared them with my kids and they greatly enjoyed these yummy cakes. The box includes an insert with a story about the cakes, and the insert also states that these cakes have appeared on Oprah. Sales probably soared after the show. After all, a celebrity combined with mass media can affect the behavior of the masses. If power is defined as the ability to influence others, then Oprah has power. They say power corrupts, and this is true, but Oprah spreading the word about Tennessee T-Cakes is not something I worry about. I just know these are quite tasty treats that my kids like.
