Krispy Kreme is offering donuts for 86 cents today. But you won't be there. You'll be at Dunkin'.

Well, if you think about it this way, if you are on a diet, then Krispy Kreme doughnuts are for you! To me, they’re still very good!

I think of them as Krispy Krap.

Yep, them trucked in Dunkin’ Donuts sure are much better than the ones coming off the Krispy Kreme line when the Hot and Fresh light is on. /sarcasm

And in addition to all that, I’m not going to vote for Chris Christie.

Krispy Kremes are OK, nothing to rave about. When my wife and I absolutely have to have doughnuts, we go to a local shop that’s run by a SE Asian family. Not all that cheap, but really good.

A Dunkin' cup of coffee isn't going to win any Good Food Awards or anything, but it at least tastes like it was made at some point after the Nixon administration.

Had a cup of Dunkin just the other day.

Probably the worst coffee I have had this year.

And that includes the dregs at the bottom of the pot of coffee at the store.

Just plain nasty.

Just another six weeks or so until the cider mills open up. They have the best donuts.

Wolfgang Ramsay must be a vegan because he outed himself as having no palate with this one article.
You can take my Krispy Kremes from my cold dead hands!

To me they just tasted like puffed sugar. KK came to Indy but didn’t last long.

Most of their donuts sort of taste like they were made in Council Bluffs, Iowa, like two weeks ago. There's no denying it.

The writer of this article doesn't know very much about doughnuts.

Dunkin' Donuts used to be decent, but there is a reason why they are changing the signage from Dunkin Donuts to Dunkin. They find their money is in coffee, and not donuts. Unfortunately, leading up to that decision was a decision to cheapen the donuts.

Years ago, the Dunkin' Donuts commercial showed the manager getting up at 4:30AM, "Time to make the doughnuts." He muttered.

Now they are mostly shipped frozen from Chicago and reheated.

Krispy Kreme mostly bakes on the premises, with nearby stores taking same day shipments from the fresh baked ones. The hot glazed is great.

If you like Dunkin Donuts, but haven't had them for a few years. Here is a challenge. Go to one, look to see if there is a space to actually MAKE doughnuts. Few have any such area. Then, buy a French Crueller. The Crueller, which used to be delicate, airy and eggy, now is hard and lifeless. That is the proof that these are not the classic donuts (Hostess did similar with their Twinkies and Cup Cakes, but those hide it better.)

Krispy Kremes' Cruellers are not as good as what DD used to be, but they are much better than the poor excuse DD peddles in most stores now.

Ever wonder what happened to the original Dunkin Donut? The one with the knob on it to accommodated dunking? Discontinued. It didn't lend itself to mass production.

Some people just don't like the doughy texture of Krispy Kreme. Fine. Don't go to DD. Find a good local doughnut shop or even a supermarket with a bakery. You will do better.

Oddly, a good combo is KK doughnuts with DD coffee. Get what each store CARES about.

“But you won’t be there. You’ll be at Dunkin’.”

I won’t be at either, unlike most libtards I have a job.

Rainbow Donuts/Bosa Donuts in Phoenix, AZ ARE the best donuts. Period.

When it comes to donuts, I’m about as sophisticated as a six year old because, you see, Winchell’s white iced cake donuts with rainbow sprinkles are my forever favorite. I don’t even care if it’s now the gayest donut ever. Nope. Taste the Rainbow!

And I got the answer for you right here: Their donuts just aren't that good.

We all know it. You can admit it here. This is a safe space.

This person is a fool.   I had my first Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the 1950's when they were delivered door-to-door at my Grandma's house at 8425 First Avanue South in Birmingham.   Dunkin Donuts are just a sick joke.

But if I had to crown the king of doughnuts, it would have been Winchell's Donuts, made with potato flour to make them as light as a cloud, in California back in the 1970's.
