I know people like their Krispy Kremes but they are almost 100% sugar. Yech.

That's all I have to say.

I remember when Krispy Kreme doughnuts expanded into the Chicago area. I bought a dozen and brought them into work. They were soft, gooey, sticky and to my taste altogether yukky. I went back to Dunkin’ Donuts and never bought Krispy Kremes again.

I have been known...in my teens....to go into KK...buy the freshly baked ones....and pig out.

They were a fad, over expanded to the point they were trying to be also in several grocery store chains.
They are more expensive and became not so special which is why they imploded IMO.

the product was awful. it was a hype machine. nobody was surprised when the stock rewarded the shorts.

I think the first time you eat a Krispy Kreme donut, you think, "Oh my God! Where have these been all my life! I'm in heaven."

By the third time, you're more like, "Actually, this wad of fat, flour and sugar I'm chewing is kinda gross."

Thus beginneth another thread discussing the finer points of crap, ad infinitum.

Only in America.

I gave up eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts several years back. They just can’t be healthy. But for those Freepers who are still young enough to “recognize” their “immortality” I have to recommend them highly. Go buy a dozen hot ones and eat the whole box. It will be a memory that will last a lifetime. Of course that lifetime might be shortened a bit but by the time you are 120 years old you’ll be ready to go anyway. So eat up.

Years ago we had one in our city. When I was working the midnight shift we would drive by about 3 in the morning just to smell the air around the building. They closed years ago and now the doughnuts are delivered to our stores by truck. Just not any fun anymore.

It was a tragedy to see what a bunch of New York nitwits did to a southern institution.

Just a damned shame.

I LOVE Krispy Kreme. Only the traditional regular donuts, none of that extra stuff smeared on the outside, which detracts from the basic flavor of sugar and dough.

I used to fortify myself once a week at the Krispy Kreme outlet in Penn Station. More than one donut once a week would be hazardous to your health. But that was a treat.

I still have my Krispy Kreme baseball cap, which I bought from them after admiring it on the people working there.

Paula Deen's Krispy Kreme Burger with Bacon and Egg. That gal sure knows how to facilitate a heart attack.

Krispy Kreme gave out free donuts nationwide to celebrate Obama’s inauguration. Reap it.

[SaveTheChief]

Krispy Kreme had been a popular doughnut chain in the South since 1937, but remained unknown to the rest of us until about 1996. That's when the first Krispy Kreme popped up in New York City, on West 23rd Street. ..."

Yes, we all know New York City is the center of the universe, and nothing outside of New York City is worthy of discussion - ever.
