Am I alone, or does anyone else hate Krispy Kreme doughnuts?

[DancingBear]

While I don't eat many doughnuts, I can't even eat a half of a KK without getting sick, especially the god-awful glazed ones. Might as well just cover a block of sugar with Karo syrup.

Bleah.

On the other hand, there is the unbridled joy that is the Entenmann Raspberry Danish...

[greatauntoftriplets]

1. I can't get past the smell of a Krispy Kreme doughnut...

...to even try to eat the damn thing.

[DancingBear]

5. I'm with ya

Although when that smell wafts up I do get an overwhelming urge to change the oil in the car.... :)

[Jim Sagle]

2. I don't actually HATE them, but to me they're not all that.

I much prefer Dunkin Donuts. Ummm, Bavarian Creme! :9

[mac56]

23. I'm with you. KKs are not all that.

KKs are great if you get them the minute after they leave the oven. Beyond that, they're just ordinary donuts with way too much glaze. Give me a plain cake Dunkin' Donut any time.

[juajen]

3. As far as I am concerned, you are definitely ALONE!

4. Yick....

I like Dunkin Donuts, if I'm going to eat a donut at all. ;)

I love a nice croissant. :bounce:

7. yummy for the tummy

They are the breakfast of champions.

[freetobegay]

9. Amen!

eom

[MikeG]

8. They are the worst. Even worse they pushed out a Dunkin Donuts.

I live in Monroeville, PA. I used to stop for coffee and a donut or bagel almost every day. The Dunkin Donuts closed in fear of the opening of the Krispy Kreme. Their coffee sucks. Their donuts suck.
On the other hand, I've lost ten pounds. Grrr.

[candy]

15. How awful for you--

You've lost 10 pounds.

I'm jealous.

[TXlib]

10. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts are Evil

They go down soooo easily.

[Blue-Jay]

11. I wouldn't know.

I only eat donuts from a local bakery. Mostly because I rarely get a craving for donuts.

[Failure]

12. I hate them cuz they give a lot of money to Repukes

n/t

[chaska]

13. 100 %, actually - Dunkin Donuts too.

[Failure]

20. Yep...

no donuts for failure:(

[Zorra]

29. We should boycott KK and Dunkin Donuts. No Dem should eat them.

[candy]

14. Entenman's Raspberry Danish Twist

How could you? I'm sitting here happily typing and reading and you mentioned my favorite pastry in all the world.

I have none in the house and my evening is ruined.

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!

[BlueJazz]

16. Krispy Kreme sucks the Big one

Their so-called donuts are a wad of dough with 90% Sugar and grease.
Yuck...I'd rather (almost) eat a Cockroach!

[asjr]

17. KK is overrated. Dunkin is really good

and Donut Palace is better also. I love Dunkin Donut coffee. The nearest one is 65 miles away but often I make the trip.

[yellowdawgdem]

18. you're alone

definitely alone. definitely.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

19. Yeah, I don't like them...

I don't like the cakey stuff. I like Daylight Doughnuts so much better.
Duckie

[NightTrain]

21. Truth be told, I love 'em to death!!!

But then again, I am a sugar junkie.

[Malikshah]

22. Nope

They're like dulce tres leches too me...

pure sugar that makes my teeth ache and absolutely no flavor whatsoever

Entemanns--now there's a donut!

[LiberalCat]

24. You're not alone.

I eat them occasionally, but they are not satisfying.

Used to really like Big Bear's donuts, but they closed.
Must find a good source of d'oh-nuts. Mmmmmmm, donuts.

And your suggestion of Entenmann's Raspberry Danish--
thanks, I think. Now I have a craving for them.

[PittPoliSci]

25. i am with you!

i love dunkin donuts. they own krispy kreme! flame me now!

[chaska]

26. I wish ya'll would stop it with all the donut talk every single day of my

freakin' life. There must 8-10 non-corporate donut shops around me here in Pasadena. I manage to pass 'em by just fine, but then I start reading this stuff and feel myself weakening.

Luckily there are other diversions: I had an avacodo milkshake from a vietnamese restaurant today. Yum.

[mitchum]

27. Love the doughnuts, but hate their political contributions

I only eat them still warm in the parking lot

[SW FL Dem]

28. I've eaten two in my life

Both times, I felt like sh*t.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

30. I find them sickeningly sweet

and greasy, but then, my tolerance for sweets (except chocolate) is definitely lower than it was before I started eating low carb.

I tried one, and now I can say, "Been there, done that, don't need to again."

[leftbend]

31. I agree with you

they have waaay too much sugar.

[BiggJawn]

32. Too much Fat, too much Sugar, too much HYPE.

I would rather have a Village Pantry donut. And the fact that I used to make love to the donut maker has nothing to do with that.

They were good donuts, and cheap, too!

[RhodaGrits]

33. Hate them. I can't think of any other junk food I have eaten

half of and thrown the rest of in the trash (1/2 the remaining donut, not the rest of the box). Tasted like motor oil and sugar, yuck... and I *love* donuts. I ate one and seriously contemplated shorting the KK stock - didn't bc I realized that almost everyone else I knew seemed to like them.

[bratcatinok]

34. I have never had a KK doughnut.

When I left the DFW area they had just opened a KK in Arlington. The lines were reported to be over a mile long. Doughnuts are good but they aren't 'waitint in a mile long line' good.

I've always had a fond spot in my heart for Shipley's donuts, probably because when I lived in Houston a friend of mine owned one of their franchises. She'd drop a box off at my office periodically and they'd still be warm...yummy!

I also like Dunkin Donuts. There's not a decent donut shop within 30 miles of me now so I don't eat any donuts! The donut shops here in town and in the nearest bigger town all taste like they haven't changed the grease for several years. Blech!

[Mobius]

35. you need to make a poll

eh or i will. It must be done, the people must be allowed to voice their opinions anonymously.

[baldguy]

36. I hate Krispy Kreme

sugar-coated deep-fried lard cakes

[Mobius]

37. You are not alone, vote now
