Sugar does that.

We have a Krispy Kreme in El Cajon. Frankly, I don't get the
attraction. They're just too d@mned sweet! Even for donuts,
they're over the top. Ick.

Ah, if only my taste buds thought so! A couple of years ago I had
some and was in heaven while they lasted. Low carbing for years
hasn't tamed my desire for wickedly sweet stuff. Oddly enough I can
now taste 'sweet' in things I couldn't in the beginning (like lettuce)
without the top end of the 'sweet' scale being moved up to 'too
sweet'. Weird.

Take care,
Carmen

That could be true. I must confess, I've never been to the Krispy Kreme
store; I've only tried them when someone else opened a box at me and said,
"You've gotta have one." (People holding Krispy Kreme boxes have a peculiar
urge to share, like some kind of sticky-fingered drug pusher.)

I almost got some fresh once, though. I was on a date and on the way to the
restaurant we passed a Krispy Kreme. My date said, "Oooo, look, the 'hot'
sign is on! Want to go get some?" I started laughing (I mean, who gets
donuts on the way to dinner???) then I realized he was serious and he seemed
a little embarrassed that I had laughed at the idea of a pre-dinner donut.
I guess you have to experience it to understand it.

Should be easy to deal in that manner with sugar coated air.

We have a Krispy Kreme in El Cajon. Frankly, I don't get the
attraction. They're just too d@mned sweet! Even for donuts, they're
over the top. Ick.

You know sometimes I have to agree. I think they would be better with half
sugar. I think that would be great!

There's a new Krispy Kreme that opened on South Shackleford.

I am allergic to wheat. It triggers binges, gives me coughing fits
and a number of other symptoms. But on occasion I get weak and
succumb to the addictive stuff and eat some.

I heard folks rave about Krispy Kreme donuts. I decided that I
would go ahead and try some. I would have the experience, get
through the bad effects, detox, use a few days at 20 to get back
into low carbing. It was a spur of the moment self-damaging act
not something I planned.

When I bit into the donuts I didn't get it. Sweet enough, but
the greasy had very little flavor. The donuts had very little
texture.

Then something wierd happened. I didn't binge. I didn't get a
coughing fit. It was no worse than other occasional cheats. It
only took a day at 20 to get over it. The temptation to have
more evaporated out of me with a poof. It's been a few years
since then and now I can walk past them and chuckle.

If a donut fails to make wheat-allergic me sick, there is something
severely wrong with that donut!

Well, I've had to do the same thing. Donuts were always something I ate too
many of. No more, however.

I've never had a Krispy Kreme donut and don't plan to. I suppose the fact that
donuts were never a big temptation for me helps :-) Don't get me wrong -- if
they were around at work, I would eat them, but they never really "called" to me.
They were the kind of thing where I would eat them because they were there and I
wanted something sweet, but afterward I would kick myself because they just
weren't THAT good that they were worth the calories and fat. Fresh chocolate
chip cookies, OTOH ...

me neither. i've never liked that kind of donut anyhow, so to me it's
not a big deal. i did used to like cake donuts (with sprinkles, even)
but i don't even miss those. they're just completely off my radar these
days.

No kidding! The only way I would possibly ever eat a KK again is if the
"hot" sign is on...it really wouldn't be worth it any other way.....
