$100 for a cronut...

Thought that didn't work because the outside cooks too fast versus the inside.

Now I'm really tempted to experiment. I suppose if you keep the oil at a low enough temp. Or, make them smaller like TimBits/Donut Holes. I know what I'm doing this weekend. :sneaky:
 
Nvm, it was only trademarked.

The bakery has trademarked "Cronut'' with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and internationally. The $5 Cronuts, which are limited to six per person, have become a sensation to the point where Ansel's staff is working overtime and the demand has brought out the ugly side in ravenous customers.

WTF why does it increase in cost for the more they bring?

There's a limit on how many you can buy. Used to be 6 per person, now it's 2 (according to the article). Gonna need more than one person in the line, that's for sure... probably at least 5 in order to not have to have a box with a mix of fresh and day-old cronuts
 
1. buy a plain donut and a croissant...
2. take a bite of each, mix them around in your mouth, swallow...
3....
4. profit!

Well, you'd need six people to get a dozen....

how different is one of these vs a French Cruller?
cause i can get one of those for like $0.50

A cruller is just essentially an egg doughnut as far as I can tell. Damn delicious, but presumably quite different (I have not yet tried a cronut, so can't say for sure how different).

had a knockoff one. It's ok, certainly not worth $5 and an hour in line for. I don't think its "better" than the traditional donut, the texture is vastly different and it's comparing apples to oranges.

Certainly not the same as a croissant + donut for all the people out here. It's very different.
 
free market capitalism. if people pay it, let them. Or the store could just make more of them instead of trying to create an artificial demand
