You mad? :awe:

They are ok but the problem I have with them when I tried them awhile ago was they used about the same donut recipe for everything they had so everything tasted the same.

Now dunking donuts uses different recipes for most of theirs and always tastes so much better.

 

[Numenorean]

You mad? :awe:

Nope. Why would I be mad? I'm not the one eating shitty donuts.

That's a "Hot Now" deal.



I am dissapoint they changed the devils food recipe a while back. It used to be more of a true cake donut style, but they changed it to more of a...gooey dough style. Not as good with my coffee as it used to be.

Krisky Kreme? Disgusting? WTF is wrong with you people?

A plain glazed Krispy Kreme fresh out of the oven is good, it's sugar and fried dough, how can it not taste good?

I liked them when I could them in Chicago. They don't exist on the East Coast.

What is considered a "good" doughnut then?

Yeah, their regular glazed fresh from the oven is excellent. They are actually "lighter" than most other donuts, which I found to be a bonus.

None that I know of in Pa, but I scarfed them up in Florida.

 

[Perknose]

Pretty much anything but krispy kreme. Hell the shitty ones that I can get at a Safeway are better.

Stupid statement. You should be sentenced to eat nothing but Safeway donuts for desert for the rest of your natural life.

Krispy Kreme donuts suck? Does anyone else think that?

I do. They were ok to try a couple of times, but after a few visits they got disgusting to me. We had a Krispy Kreme open and the first few weeks there was a line out the door. After that the place was a ghost town and the quality went to shit (I assume because they have to be really, really fresh to taste good). They closed 2 months later.

This might be true. I always got them fresh off the line, and they were heaven. Like anything else in the way of fast food, eating them too often would make most anyone tired of them. I would get them once a week; they had some special going, on a Tuesday, iirc -- something like that.

Krispy Kreme < Safeway Donuts < Real Bakery Donuts (where I go)

How in the world could Krispy Kreme be closing down? When the HOT sign is lit it's like a little piece of heaven waiting inside.

 

[Farmer]

You guys must have experience some sub par Krispy Kremes. Even the cold ones at the grocery store are above supermarket standard.

I enjoy Krispy Kremes for their glazed, never tried other flavors. I like Dunkin Donuts too, so I'm not too high class when it comes to doughnuts.

Nope. Why would I be mad? I'm not the one eating shitty donuts.

Dipshit! :awe:

KK's are usually in very expensive locations so the ground/lease space is not cheap. Then you usually have 1 full time manager and 1 or 2 assistant managers working. Then another staff of 15-20. Then you have to pay your franchise fee to KK corp...which when I was invovled in the franchise was around $2,000,000. Just to get into the KK family. Then there are franchise fees, all of your ingredients come from KK corporate, building costs, donut making machine costs, IT infrastructure to report sales back to franchise operator/KK corporate.

Then you have the issue with it being a product that simply does not have a very long shelf life. They just aren't the same when you box them up and take them out of the store. There's material waste from throwing out old donuts, pitching coffee that didn't sell, and a product that really is more of a breakfast only kind of thing.

Wholesale distribution to gas stations and grocery stores used to be big, but once the initial hype died off so did sales. Combine that with high gas prices delivering the donuts all over the place and your profit there is really pinched.

It was a flash in the pan market that grew too big too fast and didn't have the business model to sustain itself.

 

[Newbian]

I remember when the one in Mall of America opened and you could see the donuts on the conveyor belt being made and such and it was sad seeing how many were getting tossed out.

When you see such a waste you understand why they have issues.

Would it be worth selling my house and moving to Arizona to get in on this deal?

Frosting filled donuts are absolutely disgusting. Custard filled are amazing though.

 

[sdifox]

KK failed badly up here. I am not even sure if they are still sold in Walmart anymore.

I must be lucky to be in one of the markets that is old enough for KK to thrive. We've had KK here for as long as I can remember, long enough that the first thing that pops into my mind when thinking of a doughnut is KK. Dunkin does very well here also.

Your opinion is shit

:biggrin::thumbsup:

They're not terrible, but I'd rather take a typical store-made glazed doughnut myself (although often they can be bad when the icing starts to congeal and ooze around), as I don't really like the relatively thick layer of glazing on the Krispy Kremes, and I also prefer them to be fluffier or denser (cake doughnuts). The Krispy Kreme are an in between that just doesn't suit me.
