Stop the madness!!!

[MissInformation]

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!

[MissInformation]

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 ...

[AdamT]

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?

[MissInformation]

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.

[AdamT]

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

I don't mean to disagree with Wetzel, but he really understates the issue.

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.

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

You've been on 116 for HOW LONG and not had a Krispy Kreme? Oh my have you slipped through the cracks. Shame on the so named King he wasn't ruling very well now was he? Do I get to be the princess? You people who like that other donut place better obviouly have not had the pleasure of a Krispy Kreme. Oh, and by the way, Krispy Kremes have been mentioned on this board before. I dont remember where but I know it has been discussed.

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.
