Stop the madness!!!
 

I’m being haunted by Krispy Kreme donuts. It all started about a month ago when I stopped by to photograph our team as they left for VCU and I ended up driving behind a Krispy Kreme truck all the way home. Now, I expect to hear about Krispy Kreme donuts on this forum, after all, it is home to the Krispy Kreme King himself (you know who you are). I also belong to three other forums, a writer’s forum, a digital camera forum, and a twisted little social forum. Since driving home behind that truck, there have been five posts on those forums about, yep, you got it, Krispy Kreme donuts. And a book I read last week mentioned them. And I walked into a staff meeting where some of my coworkers were talking about them. And this comic strip I read in the paper has been about Krispy Kreme donuts for the past three days. And to top it all off, when I called my mother tonight (my weekly, “Hi, I’m still alive, no I’m not married yet” phone call home) the first thing she says is “Your father just got home from bowling and he brought a dozen” (yep, you guessed it) “donuts from the Krispy Kreme that just opened up.”

Sigh. Is there a Krispy Kreme exorcist in the house? Or any other way to stop this insanity? I guess I’m going to have to bite the bullet (or in this case, the donut) and have a Krispy Kreme donut while in Florida. Yep, that’s right, I’ve never had one.

And when in the world did I start saying “yep”?

Hey, cats don't eat donuts. Dunkin donuts are better!

Uh, careful there Dawg. This here is Krispy Kreme country, and those words sound like fighting words. They just might decide to run you out of dodge. ;)

It's finally happened. A donut thread on Chief Delphi. Suppose I should put in my $.02. Dunkin' Donuts is obviously the superior donut. (My opinion is in no way biased by the fact that i work for Dunk's ;) )

Defcon-2 food. All types of donughts are good for me, except for Yum-Yum dounghts. I found a bad thing in there, and I will never go back to a nother Yum-Yum donughts. If you want to know, just say, but make shure you sign the disclamer that i warned u first :D...

I did NOT hear someone say that Dunkin is better.....

How can you beat the warm, delicious, melt in your mouth taste of a fresh Krispy Kreme doughnut when the sign is on?!?!?! Aaahhhh, it makes my mouth water this very minute!

Oh, and we are going to be doing a Krispy Kreme fundraiser!!!

If we brought them to the pits in the morning, who would buy them?

For $.50 a piece? $5 a dozen?

All bow before the Heir to the throne (by declaring yourself Krispy Kreme Prince, you do realize who you are declaring as your father, don't you?). Sounds like a good fundraiser to me, that is if you can keep yourself from eating all of the merchandise...

And so it is written, man shall not live on donuts alone.

Yeah, I do know who that makes my pseudo-father. He has taught me much though....

Hi, my name is Amy, and i am a recovering KK addict.
The first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem.

I used to eat krispy Kreme all the time but suddenly i realized that i don't even like them anymore. I would rather have an ordinary doughnut (yes, i spell it the old fashioned way) from the shop on the corner any day than spend the extra money for any brand name.

Krispy Kreme is cheaper then "street corner" doughnuts here...maybe that's just here....

Ack! Thhwwpppt! Haaaugggh! Sacrilege!!!

All I can do is refer to my previous post on this thread:

Now I am off for a double fudge iced, creme filled, half dozen...

Re: Stop the madness!!!
 

conform. eat krispy kreme's they're good for you, well not really, they're just good. i want some krispy kreme's.

The best donuts (other than homemade, or the tiny fresh-made ones you get at some fairs) were from Montgomery Donuts in Rockville, Maryland, but I don't think they exist any more.

We used to get donuts (good ones) three days a week at work, but I had to give them up because I ate most of them, and gained more than a few pounds.

So are they sunlight, or breezes, or ambrosia?

I'd better go buy some and decide for myself.

Although, while we're on the subject of breakfast foods that (at least partially) occupy the "grains" corner of the food pyramid, are any of you Yankees familiar with Kolaches? (cole - ahhhh - chee) Try to imagine a hot pocket made by those same nymphs. But without the dew coating. We didn't have them in Indiana, which is why I now live in Texas. That and the space program and all.

For all the uninitiated that are also going to the National Championships, the nearest Krispy Kreme is out the south entrance (the one near the All Star resorts) to the Disney property to Route 192 East. Then go about three miles, and the Krispy Kreme is on the right side of the road. Open 24/7. The best time is around 3:00am, when they are hot from the machine.

Yeah, I'm a little obsessed.

Sure, you can be the Krispy Kreme Princess. But don't be so hard on the King for being remiss in his duties, his kingdom is vast, and us mere serving wenches are an unruly, disobediant bunch (have to be a wench, I'm too young yet to be the crone who lives in a cottage on the outskirts of the village with an assortment of cats, dogs, goats, pickles, birds, and other animals). But not to fear, it's just about a week and a half left until Florida!

Do hotels that serve donuts directly to your room have little door signs that read "Donut Disturb?"

Read at own risk, i am saying what i found in my box of Yum-Yum donughts. Make shure you read and signed the disclamer---


Well, due to the fact people have pm-ed me so much, i must say what i found in my box-o-dounghuts. I found a few white cockroaches in there. I am sorry, but when you open the box and see thoes little suckers staring back at you, saying these are my donughts, that is just sick...

You do remember the rats running around in the Dunkin store, and the rat that they fried, right? And I you didn't get a box from a Krispy Kreme store if you got cockroaches. KK boxes them for you right in front of you, ESPECIALLY those fresh from the frier doughnuts...mmmmmmmmm.

So, you may find roaches and bugs in any food that you get that's been packaged and shipped like it sounds like you got, this is a shipping problem. I know that you couldn't get cockroaches from an actual KK store!

There isn't any KK stores near me. Well, we have 1 that is about 10 miles, but i don't want to go that far. The Yum-Yum i used to go to was only ~2 miles, much closer, but now i probaly will go w/o dounghts, or if i have to, i will go to the Kroger. They sell KK donughts, (i know where Kroger is at, but not the KK store, although i did see a KK store by the CR!!!)

Krispy Kremes are the living embodiment of the lightest breezes of heaven. They are formed from the gathered wisps of the aroma of ambrosia wafting from the topmost heights of Olympus, woven together by the youngest, most agile woodland nymphs in the earliest hours of the pre-dawn when the air is most still and the dexterity of their fingers is the greatest. This allows them to create the delicate laces of pure sunlight that compose the fibers of this wondrous food, nay, textured nirvana, that is then coated with a bath of the distilled essence of pure morning dew. These mystical concoctions must be consumed quickly, lest they sublimate back to the heavens before they can be captured on the tongue.

Dunkin’ Donuts are, well, just donuts.

w00t! I stand by my previous observation about KK, but i have a newfound respect for the people who eat them.

::drool:: Yum - I have the worst craving for Krispy Kreme donuts right now - thanks guys! ;) We don't have a KK anywhere near us ... I think there's one in Chicago ... Every day before competition at MMR we stopped at Dunkin' Donuts (which, for the record, are definatly not as good as KK donuts!). I think the last time I had KK doughnuts was last summer at a gas station in Richmond, VA ...

Katie -

The nearest Krispy Kreme for you is in West Allis, WI (2900 108th Street). About a 100-mile drive. Just think - you are only two hours away from gastronomic nirvana! (and if I remember correctly, it is just down the street from a pretty good Mexican restaurant named "Qdoba" or something like that).

Krispy Kreme is the superior donut. All the Dunking Donuts Ive had have been dry and stale (even straight from the store) while the unique glazing process on a KK makes it completely impervious to the outside air. A box of those fundraiser KK donuts can last weeks, even years without going stale...After nuclear war, only cockroaches will be left and they will eat krispy kreme donuts, trust me.

It would be interesting to see how those of you who think one brand of a donut is better than another would do if you were blindfolded and fed different donuts and asked to pick which brand was which.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be. -Douglas Adams

Now, would these be, sitting-in-the-box-for-a-day doughnuts, or fresh-from-the-store doughnuts?

If it were fresh-from-the-store doughnuts, there is no competition! I'm not sure about sitting for a day doughnuts though, I have never worried tried them, but I'm sure KK would win either!

For a proper experiment, all the conditions must be the same. So either all donuts must be sitting-in-the-box-for-a-day donuts or fresh from the store donuts. Otherwise one donut has an unfair advantage. Just like you would have to have the same kind of donuts, like all glazed, or all jelly-filled.

Donuts with no nuts, so good you could go nuts... -Willy Wonka

The problem is, is that fresh-from-the-store doughnuts at KK are literally straight out of the frier as Dunkin's aren't....

Well, the Krispy Kremes would have to be at least a few minutes old... mainly because it would be really odd to have someone sitting at the counter eating donuts with a blindfold on. And, of course, I know nothing about Florida, and whether they even have a Dunkin Donuts there. Oh well, I guess the Great Donut Experiment will never come to pass.

Wow! Some people get really mad if you sing "Donuts make you obese, don't eat em" instead of "Dona nobis pachem, pachem"

more donuts
 

bring me a krispy kreme donut-glazed if possible. I may be swayed from my dunk's position. Check team 88's pit & ask for my last name- there are like seven Mike's on my team:D

sounds like you krispy kremers are too scared to take a test like this. dunkin donuts rule

Krispy Kreme donuts do not exist anywhere near me :( Good ol' NH seems to be owned by Dunkin Donuts, there is three of them in a 20 mile stretch right by my house..... They usually aren't that great either... one store makes them then delivers to eight stores in the area, so you have to go to the one who makes them for decent donuts... Maybe they'll put in a Krispy Kreme place someday so i can try them... My brother says they are reallllll good from the Krispy Kreme near RIT.

Like I said, I'll take the taste test, but there's no question about the winner...

Anyone know of the Nearest Krispy Kreme to Bay Shore (Long Island, NY)?? If not Somone bring one by team 271's pit and ask for Tim Johnson!!

Dave should know...

also go to www.krispykreme.com and they have a store locator...

Tim -

Your nearest Krispy Kreme is on Hempstead Turnpike in East Meadow on Long Island, about 20 miles from you. The address is 2443 Hempstead Tnpk. It is at the corner of the Turnpike and Newbridge Road, in the Clear Meadow Plaza (look for the Wal-Mart). The Krispy Kreme is right across from the Burger King and the Exxon station.

Yep, Dave's right about the location. And if you go down Newbridge Road and make a left onto Bush Street and then a right onto Fairview Avenue and then a left onto Cedar Street, you can visit Mortimer Finklestein (third house on the right, next to the house with the blue shutters). Nice guy, Mort. Doesn't like donuts much, though.
