I can see why. After all the hype, my office has reverted to buying donuts from Safeway. Much better and not 95% air.

Never understood who'd want to buy a blob of greasy sugar.

Hmmm ... help Krispy Kreme's bottom line or see my toes again. Help Krispy Kreme's bottom line or see my toes again. Tough choice.

I don't think they can compete with Dunkin Doughnuts in the northeastern states.

Gee, that's about the same time that Clinton had his heart attack right?


Seriously, however, I've never understood the people that treated these damn donuts as some sort of manna from heaven. I can't count the number of times that people at work would offer me a donut, I'd say "no thanks" and then they'd sing song "They're Krispee Kreeemmes...", as if that somehow made them something more than deep fried sugared pastry...

Ah, the effects of a free market economy. Market saturation can kill your unique product. I guess that Krispy didn't factor in the overkill ratio. I knew their days were numbered when they opened a store at the Mall of America in Minnesota.

Grease and sugar are the two things that make most foods taste good.

Where KK erred was in presuming that people wanted to OD on grease and sugar on a daily basis.
