Re: Dunkin' Donuts vs. Krispy Kreme (Round 1)

Dunkin’s is oh-so-much better than Krispy Kreme; and I say that being a New England transplant originally from the south, or “Krispy Kreme Country”.

I will use the information about the French translation of Kreme to gross-out my turncoat friends when they start lauding the virtues of a Krispy Kreme way of life.

Choosing Dunkin’s, I at least feel that my once in a while treat isn’t a crazily terrible self indulgence. Krispy’s in two words, are just too SICKENLY SWEET. If I wanted to be sent into a diabetic coma I would've opted for the funner and slower-acting method of eating a little too much sugar or carb over a long period of time.

But then all donut peddlers are devils in my view, Dunkin’s is just the lesser of the two... or are they? I recently heard that the company owns a lab that studies food addiction. Now, why ever would that be? Can anyone confirm this as fact, or, more hopefully, debunk as rumor?

My advice: Skip the morning coffee & donut run and eat a beignet instead.

Re: Dunkin' Donuts vs. Krispy Kreme (Round 1)

I'm from New England (the home of Dunkin' Donuts) and I'm going to school in Indiana.

I'm addicted to Krispy Kremes. I have a box sitting on my desk right now, actually...

Re: Dunkin' Donuts vs. Krispy Kreme (Round 1)

Maybe the Dunkin Donuts up north are better than the ones down here. Even though I am not a big fan of sweets, a hot fresh Krispy Kreme is far better than heavy, cakey, dry Dunkin Donut any day.

Re: Dunkin' Donuts vs. Krispy Kreme (Round 1)

None of the above. Ace Donut in Irvine, CA, is about eleventy-zillion times better than either chain in the poll.

Re: Dunkin' Donuts vs. Krispy Kreme (Round 1)

Depends on what you mean by "better", but aside from their coffee and white-marble-frosted donuts, DD has nothing on KK...except that there's a DD on the way to work and not a KK. Ah, the suffering!

Re: Dunkin' Donuts vs. Krispy Kreme (Round 1)

It's not even close. Krispy Kreme's are infinitely better. So much so, I don't even care about the necro rez of a 2003 thread, because it shows how much better they are!

Re: Dunkin' Donuts vs. Krispy Kreme (Round 1)

In FIRST, there is often no right or wrong answer to the questions we face. But this is not one of those cases - Krispy Kreme is the only right answer.

Re: Dunkin' Donuts vs. Krispy Kreme (Round 1)

Between these two, Dunkin Donuts.

More flavors, better coffee, overall better. (I'm personally biased towards their maple frosted and double chocolate donuts). I've never been much of a fan of glazed donuts.

But of all donut places, Neil's Donuts definitely tops the list.

Art, have you ever tried the Krispy Kreme maple iced glazed? It's delectable.

Can't say I have, although next time I'm down South I'll have to try some. My ventures into the land of KK have been limited to traditional glazed, as one has to go really out of their way to end up in a KK store north of the Mason Dixon line.

Re: Dunkin' Donuts vs. Krispy Kreme (Round 1)

OK, I didn't weigh in on this the first time around but since you are all jumping on an almost antique thread here goes. KK's are not donuts, they are just fried air with a sugar coating. My favorite DD was the Buttermilk even though it didn't look like a donut at least it had some weight to it. The DD on my way to work stopped selling them a few months back.

If Starbucks started selling Krispy Kremes in their cafes, they could take over the world.
