Because I'm on a Tae Kwon Do tournament performance diet, I get to do a 2 hour intensive workout for every donut I eat. So I don't have any. Right now I'm working on not drinking soda. We'll see how that runs.

As previously stated, I can't stand Krispy Kremes (they just don't taste good, period). Luckily, I'm from New England, home to Dunkin' Donuts, the obviously superior brand of doughnuts. :D



Seriously, look at the sweetener. If it's High Fructose Corn Syrup, just cut said soda out of your diet. There are plenty of good sodas that use other sweeteners. I completely removed High Fructose Corn Syrup and MSG from my diet about 5 months ago, and I've since lost a few pounds (nothing spectacular, but it's better than gaining) and I feel much better overall. I'm also currently shifting over to a more natural diet.

Back on topic, Dunkin Donuts > Krispy Kreme. :cool:

Ahh, Tim Hortons.

Admittedly, its not as good as the coffee actually from a real Tim Horton's (especially when we run our of actual Tim Hortons coffee) but its a heck of a lot better than a lot of the swill around here that masquerades as coffee. Never tried their doughnuts though....

I used to like Krispy Kreme but we can only get it from Walmart up here. I had my first Dunkin' Donuts experience last weekend though and I must say...DD takes it over KK

"icing water-fall"

where else can you get glazed doughnuts that have been run THROUGH the icing waterfall?

nowhere but KK's (I am going to Chicago in may, I'm gonna get my fix!)

Krispy Kreme is a southern thing. In the humble opinion of this displaced Southerner (south Florida really isn't in the South), a stale KK is better than any fresh DD.

Krispy Kreme Vs. Dunkin Donuts is possibly the single greatest rivalry running (greater than Coke Vs. Pepsi or Packers Vs. Bears). Luckily I don't have to deal with it out here; all the Krispy Kremes packed up and left Arizona, so we've only got one donut shop around these parts.

I dunno, I thik they're both good. And, as EddieMcD says, BAD for you, in a serious way. Not to worry when you're under 20, but kinda serious at twice that - assuming you want to live to twice that.

Guys,
There's a trick to finding a good Krispy Kreme, it's going to an actual Krispy Kreme store and waiting for the "HOT" sign to light up. They're only good if they're hot. ... Plus, if you're lucky you can get one for free (per store policy) which is really nice!
