I was first introduced to Krispy Kremes some years ago in California. Imagine my delight when i discovered they were being sold over here. You can them in all the Tesco stores locally as well as a few other places. although strangely over here the police don't seem to have discovered them as yet.....
My increasinlgy Homeresque waistline confirms that I have put away plenty in one session

Just when I thought I could see light at the end of the tunnel, it was some B*****d with a torch bringing me more work
They beat the pants off the crap i've had to eat from Tesco's for the last 19 years of my life...
Even more dangerous is the new Krispy Kreme at LHR Terminal 3... Only a 6 and a half minute walk from the Crew Room @ Work... (Dangerous that I know this?)

I like Donuts in general, Krispy Kreme, Dunkin', or otherwise.
I'm not a big fan of glazed donuts. I'm a huge fan of those sugared donuts filled with raspberry jam. At this time of year, I enjoy the Krispy Kreme Cran-Apple Donut with a Grande Decaf No-Whip Extra Hot Peppermint Mocha from The Evil Starbucks Coffee Company.

That said I'll say KK has the glazed doughnuts wrapped up while DD has those great big apple fritters that are so good. To each his own.
Quoting 767Lover (Reply 10): The key to Krispy Kreme is eating it when it is hot and fresh.
The stores have neon signs to indicate when they are fresh from the oven.
Yep. There is a KK store 5 minutes from my house and I get misty eyed when I drive by and see the Hot Now! sign turned on. Sadly, I have decent self control and steer away to try and save my health.

I've had them a few times when they first came out in the UK, but after discovering the amount of hydrogenated vegetable oil used in them, quickly gave them up as I was trying to reduce my intake of transfats where possible.
Now I only have them very occasionally. My favourite though is Chocolate Ice filled custard...........

You're all fat bastards! I'm, sadly, looking at you Leezyjet, Cornish and GolfKaddyGB.
YooYoo, I'm impressed. Let's go outside and have a cig to celebrate out healthy nature.
One Life, Live it.
25 Garnetpalmetto: That's because Krispy Kreme first opened in Winston-Salem, NC. Your friend did the equivalent of going to a bar across from Yankee Stadium wearing a
26 Adopim88: DECAF??? You're crazy! Gotta go with the Quad Venti Mocha with No whip! Anything with less than 3 shots is "foo-foo" I prefer Dunkin Donuts as well,
27 AirCop: Krispy Kreme couldn't ever understand why they were so popular, but they went bankrupt here in Arizona, so one could say that Arizona is a Krisipy Kre

29 DeltaGator: One of the main travesties of the South...sadly, we invented that damn nasty Pepsi. If only the snowbirds would take it with them. Caffeine rocks!
30 IFEMaster: There's plenty of people who disgree with you, namely the many who suffer from caffeine-induced nervousness, irritability, anxiety, tremulousness, hy
31 DeltaGator: I don't have any of those so I'll keep drinking the fully leaded stuff thank you very much. To those that say they have these various issues I say...
32 IFEMaster: Or this could be equated to "I don't have lung cancer, so I'll keep on smoking." My point is prevention - I don't WANT any of those things, and caffe
34 DeltaGator: Now that's just a lazy line of reasoning given the deadliness of smoking versus caffiene. Then cut all fat from your diet because it might cause hear
35 IFEMaster: Dude, I'm just giving you a hard time. Relax!
36 Srbmod: While the South is considered Krispy Kreme territory, Dunkin' Donuts has got quite a few locations down here. There's more DD locations than KK locati

38 Mhodgson: Noooooooooo! Martin - due to be in Arizona for four months - also a Krispy Kreme virgin.
39 DeltaGator: It must be the caffiene in my blood. Spell it right...Krispy Kreme. There was one on my walk from the Chatswood train station to my client's office.
40 IFEMaster: Well, I hate to be the one that says I told you so...
41 JetMech: I wonder what it is with KK donuts and airports? There are four KK outlets at SYD (YSSY), one in the international terminal, two in the domestic term
42 Wrighbrothers: I love them, although I wouldn't go as far as to say I was addicted, haven't had one in a few months, (but I'm going to America next week, so might i

45 Cadet57: Cuz KK will ship them up.. My former HS did one and they were shipped up from NYC
46 TedTAce: Thank goodness I never choose to go to, much less live at ERAU in DAB. There is a KK in walking distance from there. While I'm a fat bastard now, if I
47 AirframeAS: ACTUALLY.... Krispy Kreme itself did NOT go bankrupt BUT.....the company that ran the stores (franchisee) went bankrupt. AFAIK, they spent all the pr
50 KaiGywer: MMM...donuts! Still trying to figure out in what direction I gotta go 20 miles to get some donuts.
51 Cadet57: The hell do you live? we have like 6 in my city alone... lol
52 Duff44: Damn right... only thing better is the old-style raised doughnuts from the Berlin Fair in Berlin, CT. But you can only get those once a year. Nah...
53 Cadet57: Naaa, the ones at the Big E are better... My state has better doughnuts! Bring it!
54 Aeroflot777: Ewww.... Way to sweet and artificial tasting. They practically melt in your mouth. It's like cotton candy. Aeroflot777
55 Adopim88: OMG!!!!!!! I can't believe you said that!! Sorry, but I have never heard anyone quote that before (besides me) so I got a little excited. That's just
56 Duff44: Not slamming MA or the Big E.... just going with what I know Agreed. It's almost sickly-sweet. I think chewing on sugar cubes is probably less of a h
57 Cadet57: I know mate, Im just proving that we are better
58 PIA777: I prefer Dunkin Donuts more. Actually if I had to pick my top 3, this is how it would look: 1.) Dunkin Donuts 2.) Tim Hortons 3.) Krispy Kreme PIA777
59 F9Animal: Oh yeah! Good stuff. I have to avoid the shop now. I can eat a dozen in 2 days, but get too light headed.
60 Duff44: And when can we expect you to start that? I very recently had one open up near me... I think I'll have to try it Friday morning before I finish my Ch
62 Silverfox: Just to put things into perspective, a dozen assorted KK here in UK is £7.95 or 13+ dollars Make me cry again and tell me how much in the US?
63 Slyguy: Just a small deviation to the topic. What is your prefered way to spell the word doughnut/donut/dohnut?? No problem at all - that's what I do!! Sly
64 Iamcanadian: Ummmm, try deep-fryer. Worst...donuts...ever... It's a good thing their coffee is good...it saves me from having to drink Bigbucks coffee.
66 LHMARK: Krispy Kreme...don't get me started. They're just fried sugar! Of COURSE they melt in your mouth!
67 PIA777: I usually get the Soup-Sandwich-donut special. Really? PIA777
68 Iamcanadian: Well, maybe not the WORST donuts, but definitely the most overrated donuts. To tell you the truth, I haven't found a good donut place in a while...wh
69 KaiGywer: Seems there are no DDs in an 50 mile radius around Minneapolis. We do have the MoA Krispy Kreme place though. Kinda cool to watch the donuts being mad
70 Kaddyuk: £7.95 is nearer to $16 ($15.60) I think its about 8 or 9 dollars for a dozen...
