I wish Tim Horton’s would over-expand down here. I miss that place so much…
Krispey Kremes are just round little greasewheels. Bleh.
I never understood the mania about Krispy Kreme’s.
It’s a fucking doughnut !!
Oh, they’re not that good.
And they’re certainly not that good.
I’d also like to point out that Krispy Kreme didn’t exactly inflate their numbers – they’re naturally fluffy because of the yeast.
Oh, they can be pretty good (I’m not a fan of the plain ones) when fresh. Dunkin Donuts is the only big chain I know about even remotely around here, and I find them to be too dry. But anyway, most fresh-baked ones in stores are better. The only time we get packages of donuts is in the evening if we want something for the morning.
You forgot the Eddie Izzard quote tags. 
You forgot add the Eddie Izzard quote tags.
I dunno, have you ever “had” them warm?
ducks and runs.
Except it’s not just them. Interstate Bakeries (parent company of Wonder Bread and Hostess) also blames their falling sales on the low-carb craze.
It couldn’t be because Wonder Bread is fucking vile, now could it.
I was going to mention the same thing **Lissa ** did, but I’ve been beaten to it, so I’ll add that Tim Horton, while known as a doughnut shop, isn’t. It’s a diner.
They started as a doughnut place, but in the past decade have transformed into a fast-food restaurant with decent, healthy food. And good coffee. But right now, something like 15% or less of their sales are doughnuts… And if the best known doughnut shop in Canada sells so few doughnuts, how the fuck was a company that sold nothing but doughnuts supposed to survive?
That, and KK gave them away free when you walked in, so if you only wanted one doughnut, you no longer had any interest in buying anything :rolleyes:
Another Tim’s is opening up down the road from me, so that makes 2 within walking distance (3 if you include gas stations), and at the very least 6 within a 5 minute drive. 
Still, Krispy Kreme franchises have their donut bukkake machines, so that’s something they can leverage.
I’m not about to think of how, though.
Ozone and Turbo will be by your place shorty to open a giant can of poppin and lockin whoopass on your crew.
Why don’t you use a spoiler tag lno? I nearly shorted out my frigging laptop with diet Pepsi and everyone in the office is looking at me. Eh, two can play at that game.
So it’s come to this, Peter North is going to be out of a job because of mechanization.
And this surprises you? I mean, the company makes it’s living sugar coating things.
Here is a link to a piece that I think does a good job of explaining the issues affecting Krispy Kreme in a comprehensible way.
I take it you’ve never been to fucking machine dot com? Mechanization of Peter North’s job has been around for a couple of years now. :eek:
Yeah, in the end Krispy Kreme will have some valuable assets whilst Enron had none to speak of. So they’re hardly equivalent. I also don’t know how many Krispy Kreme employees lost their entire retirement, and I don’t believe that Krispy Kreme’s demise will have the impact on the economy of Winston-Salem that Enron’s did on Houston. Also don’t know that there is a Ken Lay equivalent involved.
