I was gonna put this in GQ, but I’m afraid somebody’ll yell at me. So; White Castles are commonly called “sliders” where they’re popular. Do Krispy Kreme donuts have a nickname? Peace, mangeorge ---

Just sliders? I’ll take a 5 raincoats, a box of nails, and a choke. I don’t know if KKs have a nick name. ---

I don’t know about Krispy Kremes, but Krystal’s are know as either sliders or “rectum rockets”. Gross, I know. I don’t live in the land of Krystals anymore, and I’ve never had White Castle. ---

The only nickname I’ve seen for KK donuts so far is “fat pills” ---

They’re actually Slyders. > **[White Castle](https://www.whitecastle.com/_pages/reheat.asp)** > > In 1921, it all started out so innocently. A five-cent small hamburger. A Castle-shaped restaurant. And nothing like it before, or since. A humble 100% beef patty with onions, and a pickle. So easy to eat, it was dubbed the Slider. The only thing... ---

> [@Chairman Pow](#): > > They’re actually Slyders. > > [http://www.whitecastle.com/\_pages/reheat.asp](http://www.whitecastle.com/_pages/reheat.asp) Bah. When I was growing up, they were Sliders. The mis-spelling with the “y” is simply so they could trademark it. ---

> [@gotpasswords](#): > > The only nickname I’ve seen for KK donuts so far is “fat pills” That’s what we call _all_ donuts. KK’s remind me of cotton candy. I really don’t care for them. So any nickname I’d come up with would probably be negative. Are you guys whooshing me with that “KK” thing? 😉 ---

My dad always calls White Castles, “pony burgers.” haha. I was thinking the proper dessert after a dinner of pony burgers would be a Peanut Buster Parfait from DQ. Yeah, we’ve got a lot of heart attacks here in Indiana… 😃 ---

When I was going to college in the midwest, we would drive two hours for White Castles. We longingly referred to them as Belly Bombers!! Haven’t heard a nickname for Krispy Kremes. I’ll stay tuned. . . ---
