[Pavan Dave]

What is FIRST's (everybody that participates in a usFIRST event) obsession with Krispy Kreme? Krispy Kreme is overated.

Can somebody explain????

I think it has something to do with this guy


(KK are really good anyway too. I try to avoid them, because I know I'll end up eating too many)

[Billfred]

They're tasty, they fill you up, and they're something nearly everyone can agree on (EddieMcD notwithstanding).

[plug=shameless]It should be noted that one regional I'm near and dear to has distributed the delicacies themselves for two years running now. [/plug]

[Jeremiah Johnson]

They taste good but make me sick...

[sanddrag]

I really don't like them. They are all air.

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.

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.

Cut out the corn syrup, you'll save money on gas in the long run if enough people do.

I don't drink pop often, mostly water or apple juice. As for KK, only if they are fresh and my room mates buy them, then maybe one (or two, or three).

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

you can always get KK in Mississauga... GTR is coming up this weekend

I like tim hortons donuts though

[Nica F.]

Mmm. reflecting on my FIRST doughnut experiences make me smile. haha

Krispy Kreme - good when fresh on your way to LA Reg.
DD- good on your way to UTC Reg
TimH's - good on your way to GTR


but in my opinion, i think i'd go for Tim Horton's doughnuts just because they have good ice caps and soft doughnuts. (and i blame team 188 to getting me into them! ;P )

Actually, I wondered the same thing, until finally I decided to stop being lazy and do some research.
Apparently, Dave Lavery loves Krispy Kreme donuts, and anything one of the Big Three (Dean, Dave, Woodie) loves becomes a FIRST obsession (ex: Segways).

Everything will be explained after reading the following post:

Now, if you'll excuse me, I am very hungry from all of this donut research and need some cookies.

[EDIT/]I have only gone to Krispy Kreme once, and didn't like it. Their donuts are small and expensive. Where I live there is a local donut shop line called Manley's Donuts, with donuts that are big and moist. My favorite: Apple Fritter [EDIT]

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. My personal opinion is that donuts are only good if they're fresh, but Krispy Kremes are only good if they're Hot as well. We have Older Krispy Kremes at our grocery stores in town, but they don't compare to the ones from the actual store when they're HOT. Plus, if you're lucky you can get one for free (per store policy) which is really nice!

The one in Rochester is one that gives them out. The getting one FREE is the best part of a Krispy Kreme. Watch those donuts go through that icing fall, then saunter over to the counter where they hand you one that is truly HOT FRESH NOW. It's a tourist stop here in Rochester, like visiting Wegman's grocery stores. We took our German foreign exchange student to a KK "factory" her first weekend in America and its a good thing its a whole 15 minutes away from us or she'd have us take her there every day.

I know you RIGHT!
I've been trying to figure out the KK thing since coming south back in '89.
They ain't all that. Would much rather go to DD (Dunkin Donuts) or TH (Tim Hurton's) anyday of the week and twice on Sunday.
