Krispy Kreme v. Dunkin' Donuts - The Final Showdown

[AGDee]

I know there are some small DD stores that don't make their own donuts (like the ones in gas stations) but the one by me does make them there and they are fresh in the mornings. DD has a much larger selection and KK doesn't have any donuts without that gross glaze that leaves a film in your mouth after eating them. There's only one KK within 15 miles of my house and I guess they make them fresh but usually I only see them in the grocery store. I'm led to believe that means they are loaded with preservatives because there is no way to make a DD seem fresh the next day, let alone after a week of sitting on a grocery store shelf. People rave about fresh and hot KK's but I can't even imagine how gross a hot custard donut or jelly donut would be.

I know what I like. I don't need dozens of choices of weird flavours to make me happy; I just want a chocolate covered glazed KK and I'm happy.

That said, Krispy Kreme has seasonal donuts that I have tried and found tasty.

Still, I always appreciate the classics.

Variety is hardly a plus when they all taste bad—just means a variety of blech.

When people rave about hot KKs, they're talking about the original glazed. Warm original glazed KKs come awfully close to a religious experience.

Meanwhile, hot custard or jelly doughnuts would taste only slightly grosser than non-hot ones.

Preach!!!!!

DD has variety because they have to beg for consumers.

KK awesomeness stands on its own. I only crave and do the happy dance for the original glazed. I won't turn away KK's chocolate, custard, or jelly doughnuts because any KK is heaven sent. But none of them compare to a glazed---room temperature or warm.

A Krispy Kreme donut is like this weird gooey, filmy, sticky, icky, thingy made to look like a donut. The first and last time I tried one, it left this strange, "bitter/sweet" taste in my mouth. They're really gross. I remember when I tried one, even after I washed my hands, my fingers were still sticking to everything. Yuck!

I seldom eat donuts. I mean, if someone brings Dunkin Donuts to work, and there are blueberry ones in the box, I'll eat one of those. I seldom eat donuts, but I never eat the Krispy Kremey thingies. They're like artificial, counterfeit donuts.

In my experience, some of the most pleasurable things that life has to offer can be rather sticky and messy.

Just sayin'.

I feel like I've been in the thread before but it needs to be said again: both KK and DD are nasty.

Fried cake doughnuts for the win.

What's better than hot, fresh KK? NOTHING.
