Krispy Creme's Donuts are Dunkin'

Not bad. Comes to about 67¢ apiece, or about 2-3¢ per gram of carbs.

We dont even have a KK store here thats b/c I live in Bum****
Washington. Someone here drives 2 hours to Seattle in the early
morning hours, picks them up, brings them back and the high school
kids sell them as a fundraiser for $8 a dozen!

Myself, I tried them once. Way before LC.

I tried them when they first came here to my area (NY) -- Now, don't
get me wrong, I like doughnuts.. but I like the ones Grandma used to
make -- Cake Doughnuts -- plain janes, no frosting, no filling, just
the cakey doughnut. I tried one of the KK doughnuts, and.. yes, fat
ol' me who could eat sugary snacks and crap food (pre LC), threw it
out and the box I bought. Didn't even want my son to eat them.

Now that I've made myself talk about doughnuts, I think I'll go have
my nice lunch -- Tuna salad on spinach and a 1/2 an avacado. Yum!!

Are Krispy Creme generally seen as bad quality? In Davis they are sold
at Albertson's and they are some of the best(*) that are available here,
only topped by a very small doughnut bakery, where they make them at
location.
(*my reference is only regarding the custard filled doughtnut, as that
is the one I have compared from all the brands).

I think KK needs to come up with some lower carb alternatives for those
watching their carbs. Can you create a low-carb donut? That would be a
challenge!

A Splenda and whole wheat or almond (or nut) flour doughnut?

I think they would be smart to not rise to the challenge. Their market is
doughnuts, not nutrition.

I finally broke down a few weeks ago and made a KK run. I was curious
as to the quality of their donuts overall, because I'd been rather
unimpressed by my two previous encounters with the "classic" Krispy
Kreme that everyone raves about -- I don't really care for yeast
donuts much myself. I prefer the cake kind.

I gotta say ... they make pretty damn good donuts. One, with
strawberry-and-cream filling ("Strawberry Shortcake" was the flavor, I
believe) was so sweet I literally couldn't eat the thing -- I took a
bite and then spit it out in my napkin. But the "cheesecake" style was
delicious. Really good chocolate old-fashioned style, too, which is my
favorite. And really excellent coffee.

So I ate a couple of donuts. We brought home a mixed dozen. I had two
more the next day ... and then my husband took the rest to his
grateful co-workers. End of experiment, back on the low-carb horse.

They were damn fine donuts, though.

Very true. I used to be a Dunkin Donut fanatic. I *loved* Dunkin Donuts.
Near my former office there was a small DD. They did not cook the donuts
there but had them brought in every day, and since they were in a downtown
business area were only open 7 AM to 6 PM, not 24 hours as many DDs. At 3 PM
every day they had a special, 3 donuts for 99 cents, as they tried to get
rid of their daily stock . Can't tell you how many times I went in for my 3
donuts!

Anyway, I don't eat DD anymore, but I still find it a treat to go into DD
occasionally and order a small French Vanilla coffee with half-and-half.
It's a treat.

Ditto. Back in that era I was working in lower Manhattan on Maiden Lane, and
used to pass through the World Trade Center every day, where they had a KK
concession. The first time I saw it I had to stop and buy a couple donuts
because KK had had so much publicity. I was not LC at the time and could eat
Dunkin Donuts by the boxload, but those two KK donuts were pitiful. I did
eat one but didn't really enjoy it. Started the second but after a bite or
two I said "why am I doing this?" and tossed it into the trash.

Now is the time to buy stock in KK. As soon as people catch on that they
shouldn't eat them there will be a huge backlash and sales will skyrocket.
I've seen so many diets come and go and even though the LC diet will create a
nutrition revolution, people will always be in the market for forbidden fruit.

There will always be a market for doughnuts.
