Krispy Kremes, Anyone else not like them?

I can take them or leave them - I used to eat them a lot more, but I’ve been trying to remember the last time I had one. It has to have been 3-4 years at least, perhaps longer.
I’m not a big donut fan anyway, so it’s not like I miss them.

I’ve yet to wander over to that KK to try them the store is so far out of my way that I don’t see the point. (Take a bus and train across the city on a pilgrimage for a doughnut, when I can just walk half a block and get a large triple triple and a dutchie? No thanks!)

I really love Tim Horton’s, but after my stint working there I was spoiled… I ate a lot of doughnuts fresh from the fryer and glazed… mmm

All of you are going to hell. Except the ones that agree with me, of course.

Growing up outside Chattanooga, Krispy Kremes have always been a part of my life and I love them. Dunkin’ Donuts too, but I’ve always preferred the former. Both hot *and *cold. I can easily go through a box of the glazed all by myself and have never had any other variety from them as there’s no need in toying with perfection.

And I don’t even particularly like doughnuts. I honestly don’t think I’ve had one in the past year. Or many sweets either, which seems to contradict the “addicted to sugar and needs it to survive” crowd. I’m a glutton, yes, but not for sugar.

You just invalidated any opinion you may hold on doughnuts or related foodstuffs. :stuck_out_tongue:

And, since it’s been mentioned, tea requires sugar, ice, and lemon unless you’re sick or eating Chinese food, then it’s fine hot and bitter.

Still needs lemon if you’re sick though.

I only ate one the other day while scoring placement tests because they were free and they were the only things around to eat. I could do without all that glaze, though. I never buy them.

Ugh. Krispy Kreme glaze makes me want to vomit.

My thoughts exactly. So glad I am not alone.

I also don’t see what the big deal about Krispy Kremes are. But as a disclaimer, I prefer cake donuts and never had a hot Krispy Kreme.

Now if I had a hot Krispy Kreme, I might change my mind. Because I once had vanilla wafers hot off a bakery factory line and they were heavenly! Never had them so good before or since.

Krispy Kremes taste to me as if they aren’t finished cooking. They are, basically, undercooked donuts.

Heathen. I hope you’re making it from a powdered mix, as long as you’re destroying the flavor that way anyway.

What in the world is all this Krispy Kreme bashing about? If you don’t get them when they are hot off the press they just aren’t as good after they have sat for a few hours. Mmmmm. Nothing beats a KK. They are fluffy, light, and very sweet. :stuck_out_tongue:

I think I mean “set” for a few hours. :o

Krispy Kreme… sometimes. They’re not great, but they’re not horrid either.
Those boxed donuts that come in powdered, cinnamon and chocolate-dipped… good.
Tea… sweetened. I don’t care what it is, whether it’s a cup of hot Earl Grey or cold Nestea. It must be sweetend to be rendered drinkable.
Coffee… black or with cream, sugar or no sugar, I don’t care. But if it’s been sitting in the pot for six or eight hours, I’ll usually add some creamer and sugar.

Krispy Kreme donuts are disgusting. They’re too sweet. I prefer the cake donut from Dunkin Donuts.

Between KK and DD, KK is the lesser of two evils IMO.

None of them can compare with Fox’s Donut Den in Nashville, TN, though.

I used to but outgrew it a few years ago. The two are not similar at all.

I’ve had 'em hot, right off the conveyer belt from the river of grease, having just passed under the curtain of sugar.

They’re still gross.

My local bakery makes some good donuts, and I’ve heard that the donuts at the Dahlia Lounge are good (though I haven’t had a chance to try 'em yet.)

Well, I don’t think there’s lard in them. But with ingredient lists these days, who knows.

From their website:

Are all of you people INSANE??? UNsweet tea and no KK’s…How do you live? Do you have no tastebuds? I guess sweet people just like sweet things and horrible, awful little gnomes like bitter coffee, unsweet tea, and Dunkin Doughnuts. Of course, Dunkin’s fell off around here after they were closed down for the roaches.

I hate Krispy Kremes!

I would not like them when they’re hot
I’d rather that they sit and rot
I do not like them from a box
I do not like them with some clocks ( :confused: )
I would not eat them on a train
I’d rather leave them in the rain
I do not like them, Sam-I-Am
I do not like them, even with jam

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

As to the tea debate, I should also point out that here in the South, you usually get a choice of sweet or unsweet tea. Although why anyone would choose unsweet tea mystifies me.
