Krispy Kreme: How Can They Be Bad And Wrong?

The County must have WAY too much time on its hands Pat or needs the extra "dough" in the coffers. Jeanean is your personal spell checker. With me you always get a pass.

Pat - well, I love them, but I stay away. have for years. and they have gotten themselves in hotwater before over the yearsm especially when they were moving into new areas. I suspect they will weather this as well. Enjoy the girth. Who cares.

Let's face it, all Krispy Kreme donuts end up in the sewer eventually so what's the difference if they were baked and someone ate them first. *sorry I couldn't resist*  I had a rough day and needed to laugh at myself.

I LOVE KKD and I'm gonna keep eating them too.

Pat, I made a vow that when KK came to town NOT to ever eat one. Have stuck to that pomise...so far.

Patricia, seems lots of people rave about Krispy Kreme donuts. I don't get it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not getting down on KK.

It's just that where I grew up on the west coast, there were, still are, a ton (pun intended) of independent donut shops that make donuts that are out of this world. In comparison, KK donuts are cold and slimy, even when fresh out of the oven.

One early Saturday morning, many moons passed, after delivering newspapers, I stopped at one such local donut shop, where I easily ate one dozen tasty donuts (glazed, cake, chocolate covered, ...) all by myself. And, didn't feel fat for the effort. Of course, I was about 12 years old. I probably wore off the calories on the walk home.

(I know, this is about KK's donuts, not the dumping ... )

Hi Pat... everyone has tried a Krispy Kreme at one time, so I am guessing it will be hard for the prosecutor to find a jury who would convict them! 

Hi Pat, I will never forget when my hubby was guest teaching somewhere down south, the place escapes me now. The hotel they put him up at had a KK shop in the parking lot, he could look directly into it. He called me one day, he was in the recliner in his hotel room, stuffing his face with these new found donuts while watching reruns of a show he had never seen before, "Dukes of Hazzard". He said he was not coming home, he was requesting political asylum. (Remember, my husband is from Russia). He was in heaven. A few years later we got our very own KK place in CT, then a place right in town that sold them. Soon as they came to CT, they left. My husband has never been the same since. Although let me just tell you, when a dancer is no longer dancing, they really can't afford to eat stuff like that...

Do you just think this is one of those great examples of the need for tort reform?

I heard that last night to.  Since it is in my neck of the woods I wondered if I went to the stream aka sewer drain whether it would smell like a fresh Krispy kream donout?  Could save a lot of calories.  On a serious note if they did the crime then they should pay for the clean up of the mess.  We do need to protect our environment whether it is an oil spill the size of the Exxon Valdeiz or Krispy Kreme clogging the sewers with grease.

I saw this too.  I wonder where does all the yeast and grease go normally (except in me of course)?

Hey Pat,

Definitely seems like something to fight. I like Tammy's answer. Any restaurant business is a tough business in the best of times, much less right now. I know that Tammy's answer is really funny and VERY logical, I mean, all those ingredients allegedly "dumped" are biodegradable in in the waste-water treatment processes, aren't they? Hmmm...maybe they swelled in the line...oh my!

Unfortunately for donuts (well, being an ex-officer, and a southerner)...well, my name is Bill and yes, I am an addict. All of us must take the attitude that if it tastes good, we must quickly spit it out. As far as KK's quality goes, they are donuts...they are original, genuine. Somehow a Dough-Mango-mocha-latte-nut just doesn't exactly qualify from a boutique as a donut...I would classify it as donut inspired connfection, and probably interesting and overpriced...would I try one? Of course!!!! :)

all the best...

Oh...wait! If they "dumped" into a storm drain, this is a bad thing...naughty for the environment...I retract my defense above...also grease? Eeeeew...not good. Still, it just HAD to hit the news, didn't it? Must be a slow day. lol

Hi Patricia

Krispy Kreme donuts are great and I think they are healthy for us to eat. Ok they great.

Good luck and success

Pat,

I will ignore the "sewer" comments...

I'm looking to mention that those donuts are like eating potatoe chips (you can't only eat one...) hence, why I have to ignore them all the time when I see them...

it's just easier to rub them all over my thighs!

Pat -- Krispy Kreme's are delicious --- I have had my share of them, too. I would believe them,also.

I too have had my share of these delicious offenders! But really folks...suing a doughnut company? What has this world come to? Aren't there more important crimes to prosecute, other than wasting taxpayer dollars on this prosecution? I too would love to be on that jury!

... boy, those sewer rats must have thought it was Christmas !!!! lol

All I know is that Krispy Kreme makes the best donuts even when they are 3 days old, if they survive that long.. ;-)

They are alleged to do what?  Dumping donuts?  They could have dumped at my house - I would have not complained.  Of course I would be 500 lbs !

Pat - I don't do donuts of any kind ever since I realized that donuts are deep fried in big vats of oil. In fact, I don't do anything deep fried - mostly , because my digestive system is very sensetive to this style of cooking.  And, yet - I still have the girth ...what;s up with that?
