Oh look, Krispy Kreme is doing it again: They're nearlygiving away their donuts!
On Friday, July 14, customers can score a dozen original glazed donuts for just 86 cents with the purchase of a regular-priced dozen donuts.
Now, you may ask yourself in wonder: "Gee, how is it that Krispy Kreme could afford to sell a dozen donuts for just 86 cents? That's just seven cents per donut!"
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.
Yes, Krispy Kreme donuts are covered in a shimmering, microns-thin, explosively sweet sticky glaze. At first it seems incredible.
But then you realize that the only reason they go to all that trouble is to conceal donuts which are little more than like 1/3 of an ounce of lame yeasted dough. They have to douse it in all that sugar to conceal the fact that they made pretty much no effort to make a good base-level donut.
If your donut's no good, it doesn't matter what you do to dress it up, it's still gonna be a disappointment.
Dunkin' Donuts, on the other hand, is much better. I'm not saying they're a world-class donut. They're not. Most of their donuts sort of taste like they were made in Council Bluffs, Iowa, like two weeks ago. There's no denying it.
Still. The donut itself is better. Many of their donuts are of the superior cake-based variety, more fulsome, with a better texture. Even their more pillowy yeasted-style doughs are better than Krispy Kreme's, though. It just feels like someone took more pride in making them is all.
Plus, the Dunkin' coffee is way better than Krispy's. The Krispy Kreme coffee tastes like it's been sitting on a Hobart burner for 60 years. 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.
And don't forget Krispy went all-in on the Rona vax hysteria:

Don't be lured by the siren song of cheap Krispy donuts! It's a trap! Go Dunkin' or go home!
Dunkin is inedible.
KK is insanely sweet, yes, but we are talking about doughnuts here. They’re a confection. They are supposed to be sweet.
I can understand people objecting to that much pure sugar (even though I love it). I cannot understand thinking that Dunkin is better.
All donuts are of the debil!
Swore off those killers New Years of 2017 and haven’t touched one since.
Why would I take to heart the opinion of anyone promoting the blasphemy that cake based donuts are better?
Well, if you happen to live in Honolulu or near a Little Tokyo, or near one of the big Japanese shopping centers like Mitsuwa across the Hudson from Harlem, you can experience it there.
Central FL, not so much, though the Cuban bakeries here and there are much better than anything gringo.
Our local donuts shop is better then them all (especially because it is only a few blocks away) :-)
We'll see who is smiling after that.
You sound like a girlfriend from highschool. French fries from Hardees on one side of town dunked in the chocolate shake from McD on the other side of down.
Krisp Kristie will be there so you’d better hurry.
Except the prepacked donuts, I can’t say I have ever not enjoyed eating one, regardless of who made them.
here in the west, it seems the best small private donut places are all run by Cambodians...
But here next to The Swamp, Duck Donuts are the best.
KK Donuts ARE very good. Especially if you can sit at the shop on Bragg Blvd in Fayetteville and watch them on the conveyor belt from start to finish and be served them piping hot. They melt in your mouth like a crispy French Baggett with that disappearing white filler!
My local KK is open 24/7 and you can always watch them making the donuts.
I had one at the Clairemont Square two blocks from house...
A six pack of old soda bottles returned to the liquor store and 30 cents... which became the creme filled bar — an eclair style doughnut with custard filling and chocolate icing. That was a good day when I was 8.
Here in Indy Longs Donuts are the best. Most popular for 60 years.
Dunkin put the “ugh” in “doughnut”. I haven’t been in one for years because, as you say, the doughnuts suck now. I remember when Dunkin’ Donuts appeared in Portland in the early ‘70s; they were great. You could stop in to get a couple and watch the guy making donuts at just about any hour.
If you like raised donuts, I don’t think you can come close to Long’s Donuts in Indianapolis. Just don’t go there on Saturday morning...the line has been 1/4 mile long out the door!
She sounds like she was cute. I would have reversed them though. That said, I did at one point feed the entire Wallingford Republican Party when I was 15 with Hardee’s French Fries, as they ran a contest that made it easy to pile up the freebies. Fifteen year olds are good at taking advantage of such things.
The Foodtown we went to had a bakery with a donut machine that was running all day. It would dispense a ring of dough into a tray of hot oil, it would float down along till it was flipped by an automatic paddle halfway down where at the end another paddle would lift it out and dump it into a bin. Sold a lot of donuts...fun to watch.
