Poetry would be entirely composed of haikus and sonnets dedicated to cakes and pastries if poets didn't devour their idyllic subjects before having a chance to write. Say what meter and rhythm cannot with today’s Groupon: for $15, you get a choice of one dozen dipped cookies, cake balls, cupcakes, or chocolate-covered strawberries at Adonna’s Bakery & Cafe, valid at locations in Pensacola and Fort Walton Beach (a $30 value).
With 40 years of experience browning treats in the oven, Adonna’s Bakery & Cafe tickles sweet teeth with a host of house-made cookies and cakes. Nibblers can gobble down one dozen chocolate-dressed strawberries, or share a box of decadently dipped cookies, each inscribed with a sweet message for Valentine’s Day or a passive-aggressive note for 12 slovenly roommates. Bakers infuse bite-sized cake orbs or fresh-baked cupcakes with real champagne before adorning the rich morsels with fresh-dipped strawberries. A decorative box holds the dozen decadent treats, saving customers the trouble of fitting them into repurposed egg cartons.

The Groupon Guide to: Writing an Urban Legend
Everyone secretly wants to believe in scary stories that might be true. Indulge your friends' gullibility with these tips to crafting the perfect urban legend:
• Make sure the story takes place somewhere nearby, on a similar night—ideally exactly 100 years ago to the night. Or on the devil’s birthday.
• Always include an animal that turns out to be a different animal or an animal where one does not belong—like a dog that is actually a rat, or an alligator in the bathroom of the Museum of Alligator Safety.
• Tweak the details—it's only a few letters’ difference to change "gardener" to "murderer," and only a small white lie to change "was valued by the community" to "possessed double hook hands and a thirst for marrow."
• Always carry "proof"—this can be a monster's tooth carved from soap, a faded newspaper article created in Photoshop, or a scrap of the victim's clothing that is actually just a scrap of clothing you ripped off a terrified hiker you chased through the woods.
