<< Actually a glazed KK donut has less calories than your average plain bagel. >>

It's true...sort of

Average KK donut has 200 calories, 100 of which are from fat. They are about 50-60 grams in serving size.

Average bagle has 300 calories, about 50 of which are from fat. They are about 100-120 grams in serving size though.

How many people eat a plain bagle though? Many people toss some creme cheese or a spread of sorts on there adding in another 50-100 calories easily, most of which is fat unless you go for fat free toppings.

So there you have it

I wouldn't wait in a long line for a doughnut. I'd rather stay home and fry my own.

Donuts, schmonuts. Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats a fresh Cafe Du Monde or Morning Call beignet.

Nothing is worth camping out for They're good though.

[ElFenix]

[TallBill]

btw... wtf is up with the maple grove area... theres like every possible store in the world in like a 3 square mile super retail area...

also.. someone spent the night in his car in the drive through area to be the first... almost screwed up the car recognition system gonna have to use cones on the next install

 

[amdskip]

So how much are they donuts, anyone know?

 

[vi edit]

$.59 for the glazed original, more for the specialty donuts.

Dozen glazed and Dozen assorted(So two dozen) for $9.99, or $5.99 for a single dozen. No such thing as day olds.

<< of course the other side of this coin is that the only reason you're a KK f4nb0y is because you grew up on them. >>



Of course, there aren't lines around the block when a Dunkin Donuts opens.

 

[TallBill]

actually.. yer quite wrong.. when the first dunkin donuts first opened.. they had super long lines too

 

[erub]

i think its like $5.50 for one dozen, around $9 if you want 2 dozen..or like 60 cents each if you want individual ones. They give you a free sample when you come in

Sure, the first one...I don't see it happening anymore. When we get new Dunkins, it's no big deal...no one waits for it.

Just remember that AOL is the #1 ISP.
VHS won out over BetaMax.
Refrigerators with top-freezers are more common than ones with bottom-freezers.
Britney Spears is popular.

Suckers er......PEOPLE lining up at the door doesn't necessarily mean anything is better. It's easy to get rubes to line up at the door with some good marketing buzz.
Besides...apparent popularity doesn't really rebut the fact that you're still just a KK fanboy for no reason other than your mom told you to be

they make these??? Never seen one. We have two separate ones What's the advantage of the one on the bottom--cool air sinking?

Yeh my brother's house has one. It was in there when he moved in.
My gf's mom used to have one and swears by them. She's actually planning to pay out the butt for one when her side-by-side finally kicks the bucket.
Most people I talk to just say it's more efficient to have the freezer on the bottom, and it's actually much easier to use. I would certainly agree with that.

 

[Imdmn04]

i've had it, its good but not that good. no way in hell im gonna be lining up more than 5mins for their donuts.
its only food, not a PS2 on a first day of sale.

Krispy Kreme is WAAAY too sweet, almost uneatable. DO NOT LIKE THEM!

Actually prefer donuts from the local 'Albertson' supermarket (Tucson)
