Sorry but I can't see what's so special about Krispy Kreme, nothing different / special about their taste.  

True if bought out of a box or display case. What made Krispy Kreme famous was the glazed right out of the oven. Stores in U.S. bake them throughout the day. You can come close to recreating that tast by taking them home and heating individual glazed doughnuts for 9 seconds in your microwave. No, it doesn't gum up the taste like a microwave does to bread or pizza dough. Try it. Be amazed. Been a fan since 1946, but I make it a rare treat.

Boiled is quite nice, my son buys bags of small size onions at the local market (perhaps 90% of the size of a golf ball), peels and boils them with a little salt, about 6 or 8 at a time and in a plastic box on the kitchen table with some carrots and slices of apple, probably just before the kids come home from school, all gone in a flash. 

Nice example of responsible parenthood. 

Getting off his a$$ and making an effort.

I wonder how much the writer was paid for the rather liberal use of complimentary adjectives?

Dunkin doughnuts is the dominoes pizza of doughnuts. Garbage.

 

I only buy from Krispy Kreme.

There are no=0 Krispy Kreme shops in all of New England (USA) Why? No one would buy their donuts, people only bought Dunkin's and in a poll their coffee is considered better than Starbucks. Krispy Kreme donuts taste too sweet.

Don't think so...

While I'm not a big fan of donuts from Dunkin' Donuts, the thought of a donut from my local donut shop in Los Angeles did make me salivate.  So I am off to the shop for donuts and coffee.

I don’t eat them. Really do not appeal on any level.

They're not really that much better... Image only

I wouldn't describe their coffee as "great-tasting". Anything but...

Dunkin Doughnuts in Thailand with 150 stores and a Thai Women Managing Director.

 

You have to wonder who put up all the money for this?

Funny bit about "artisinal food" and a big dig on Dunkin Donuts.

Well then I have to ask if you even like doughnuts in general. Where’s your go-to doughnut shop?

 

Any single branch, family owned, local, UK, baking instore.

 

Not the corporate, industrialised, multinationalised, overpriced, bland, s*** of DD, KK, or anyone remotely like them.

More Amercan fast food to poison our children.

 

A raw carrot or onion is far more nutritious and fun for the kids, with less chance of diabetes later in life. 

There are many documented stories about parents with your thinking and the outcome of their kids.

They mostly become unstable insecure adults with emotional/substance abuse problems.

There is nothing wrong with a kid having an occasional donut or McDonald's as most kids in the world do.

But, obviously you can raise them as you wish.

Good luck...

They would be better off making a new donut that is vegan and tastes like something sweet but has never been anywhere near anything the flavour it claims to be ... seems to have worked for Greg's. On a more serious note, I'm surprised that companies such as this are still around thinking that the old formula for their product will be just fine for the future. If any company is vulnerable to the changing whims and laws of societies than this sort of one must be top of the list as sugar is firmly in the sights of many governments as an extra tax contributor.

As much as I enjoy raw onions, I cant see them being a hit with the kids.

The correct spelling is doughnut.

No such word as donut.

 

Simply UK (doughnut) and USA (donut) spelling).  Both are valid spellings.

Actually their coffee + sandwich (or donut) promo is a superb deal. Main disincentive in relation to Starbucks is the lack of ambience in most stores.

But! There is ! It is a  Donut! Not to be mistaken for a  doughnut! 

I am still yet  to work out  the Dunkin  part! 

The "Dunkin" is a short contraction of "dunking". Something some people do with a donut

to put a biscuit, piece of bread, etc. into a liquid such as tea, coffee, or soup for a short time before eating it:

She dunked a biscuit in her coffee.

I always thought it was a a colloquial spelling of Duncan...

 

On that score I was going to suggest Miss Nobklao (of Golden Donuts fame) used a shortened version of her own name in the rebranding...

Waist expanding would be more accurate.

Doughnut - English

Donut - American

One is a European language, the other is not.
