I think it's funny that Krispy Kreme is so popular in the US but they're tanking here in Canada. I guess you can't compete against Tim Horton's when your coffee tastes like ass. :lol

I don't even like Krispy Kreme that much; they're too....sweet, or something. I'd KILL for a Dunkin Donut, though (especially the toasted coconut kind.....oh god...), but I'm trying to stick to a healthy diet, and damn my will power.

It's just a doughnut!

EAT IT

I thought Krispy Kreme was tanking everywhere.
Something to do with the Atkins/health craze.

I don't go there often (Tim Hortons all the way!), but their donuts are DAMN good.
btw, they often give you a free donut when you're in line anyway.

Yeah, Krispy Kreme rocks. Because they don't have a single freaking location outside of the suburbs here in Toronto, I haven't had that many.....which is kind of good, since I'm not 600 pounds yet...But it is odd why they don't have a single location (they do have boxes of them at some gas stations and grocery stores, but nothing compares to the fresh ones at a real Krispy Kreme location) in the downtown core.

Ditto here, I've never seen the appeal, myself.

Typically, the best donuts are from the little local places. It's sort of like mexican food, the smaller and more "hole in the wall" the place looks, the better chance that it'll actually be good.

What really stinks is that a few of the grocery stores around here used to make some pretty decent donuts in their own bakery, but they've ALL switched over to just selling KKs.

Respect. Where else can you get a week's worth of cholesterol in one convenient shake?
