Krispy Kreme!

[I Are Baboon]

As a result from Lina's comments in another thread....

I have never had a KK donut. They are putting one up a mile from our apartment...first one in New England. I hear KK donuts are good.

I can hear ALBOB running to this thread already

KK world headquaters is about 13 miles from me. And yes, there are good!! Although they are not in my diet.

BTW ~ Anyone that bought KK stock when it went public probably made a pretty penny.

 

[ZECH]

Baboon.....definately go get a dozen and try them!!! You'll love them!! Caution........they are addictive!!!!

 

[I Are Baboon]

I don't know DG...I hear the line may be around the block for the first couple of months (LOTS of fat people around here!).

I was at the KK website reading their investor relations section. They are expanding into pretty much EVERYWHERE.

 

[ZECH]

LOL! Probably would be!!! we would always get some late at night on the way home from eating out or going to a ball game!!

 

[I Are Baboon]

Maybe I'll swing by at 5:00 AM on the way to the gym.

Not yet, but like I said, they are expanding rapidly. I hear they are moving into MA next. I live in Newington, Connecticut, where this KK is going up (just south of Hartford). They are still clearing land, so the KK hasn't even started to be built.

 

[Jodi]

Few so I have a year or so before I need to worry! Hopefully they will start on the west side of MA first before working their way over. Their donuts are the best!

 

[lina]

Hey, mochy!! We'll have to start an "anti-Krispy Kreme" campaign around here...

 

[Jodi]

No shit! Have you ever had one of those. They are so addicting! I never had one until I went to Las Vegas! They are everywhere though. The only donuts I ever had was Dunkins and I don't care for them so I never tried Krispy Kreme until last year. I sat there eating saying its a good thing these aren't in NH! Now look.

 

[lina]

Never had 'm! *Phew* But I know myself too well...
I don't care for Dunkins' donuts either...

But as IAB there will be a line outside the door, so I think atleast that's a good deterrent for me not to gooooo and get yet another addiction started (besides peanut butter)!

Krispy Kreme Donuts Rule!
I try to avoid them as much as possible.
They are very very addicting.
1 bite of a single donut usually becomes a buffet
of at least a dozen donuts.
Try the new smores flavor.(warning, very addicting)

They are ok, but I do not see in any way, why people were driving hundreds of miles over the weekend to get these damn things. They are not all that, not by far, they are different than regular donuts, big freaking deal.

Yummy KK .... the smell alone in that place fattens you up. Thank goodness I have not been near one in months

Can't say I've ever had a Krispy Kreme...

I never understood the fascination myself - I mean, a donut's a donut, right? - until I made the trek and had one hot off the presses. Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh, they're SO yummy......hot and puffy and sweet, they practically melt in your mouth. When they've cooled off, they're just not the same. Otherwise I'd mail you some!

 

[Stickboy]

I can't stand them. Too sugary or something.

I'm with you Mudge, I cannot understand the appeal for these things. Then again, I bet I can count on one hand how many doughnuts I've eaten in the last 15 years.

I am one of those fat and stupid people.
It use to take me around an hour to drive to all
the places to pick up my food on a crazy cheat day.

 

[Mudge]

For me cheat days are more hamburgerish than donutish...

[Dero]

KK are for losers,, lots of hype,, would rather get a dozen donuts from the local grocery store.

p.s. this is my first post... hope it works

 

[Jodi]

Well thats not very nice calling everyone that likes Krispy Kreme LOSERS! They are the best donuts IMO but I don't think I'm a loser.

I dare you to say that to the few hundred people in Winston-Salem, NC that work at the KK headquarters. I think you'd have a few pissed of rednecks and you couldn't handle that.

I'm with you, Mochy! To each his or her own. Having tried them piping hot, I now see what the fuss is about, personally - and if people want to go out of their way to get them, why the hell not? I guess put me in the fat, stupid, loser bunch too!

I remember when the one in Denver opened up. People would actually wait in line for three hors for the things.
Now that the hype is down, there isn't much wait. They just opened up one here, but it isn't on my side of town, so I do not eat them very often.
The local consumer reports did a taste test on them and three different vendor's doughnuts. KK came in third behind Safeway (grocery store) and Day light Doughnuts.

But KK's just out of the oven...a must to experience!
