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!
I certainly enjoyed your discourse about these two donut companies. It was very enlightening.
Back around 2000 I was on a flight and a fellow had two boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts on his lap. Obviously heading to a KK deprived destination.
nope... all Dunkin’s by me have been takin over by Hindus!!
At the drive thru window its like looking into a portal to Mumbai. Dont need doughnuts that bad!!
I love Krispy Kremedonuts!
A local donut shop is a million times better than either. And not that much more expensive these days. And yes, I realize Dunkin’ used to be good. But no longer.
Live in Winston-Salem, NC. Been eating Krispy Kreme all my life. Love ‘em. Author’s entitled to his opinion, but he’s full of it. Probably a Yankee.
...Probably a Yankee....
LOL!................
Watch for the stamped by Chris Christie, he will be the first in line or else. He never met a donut he did not like.
It’s a decent half donut. It’s like a donut filled up with air, more fluff than flavor.
By the way, “donut” is derived from the original “dough naught”, “naught”being the British term for “zero”. Essentially the word means a zero made out of dough, an apt description.
Omar the Tent-Maker, custon order.
Krispy Kreme is too sweet and greasy for me - the only ones I can stand are the cake donuts.
Dunkin is decent when fresh, but as noted by many they are not made in the store and are secondary to the coffee. I have gone into the local Dunkin and they had no donuts - like the cheese shop in Monty Python. They stayed open to sell coffee. I guess selling a penny’s worth of flavored hot water for 3 dollars is more profitable than selling a nickel’s worth of dough and sugar for a dollar.
....like the cheese shop in Monty Python.
