national donut day

[AmandaRose]

I much prefer Krispy Kreme's glazed donuts and custard or cream-filled donuts over boring, plain cinnamon-covered donuts.

You obviously have shit bakeries then.

Jam-packed, covered in glaze. Keep your powdered sugar that covers everything it comes into contact with and makes you look like a coke head, bin the sprinkles that ruin the texture and pierce the roof of your mouth. Pack that damned doughnut with so much strawberry jam that my chin will look like a murder scene by the time I'm done. Occasionally I'll go for a good 'ol custard doughnut, but I mostly jam with that jam - jam-packed dough makes me go nuts for doughnuts.

Side note on Krispy Kreme - stale garbage every single time. I'd rather eat a glazed tire. Just go to a bakery, get yourself some nice, fresh doughnuts. I have no idea how the company stays open with such a trash product, easily the worst doughnuts I've ever had.

I fully agree with the first paragraph, but the second..."stale"? I've had Krispy Kreme donuts plenty of times, from both 7-Eleven (or is it Eleven-7? The number is behind the word, but also larger...confusing) outlets and from the actual Krispy Kreme store in the city (I know of at least two stores there), and I've never had a bad time eating one. Not once.

You and Amanda confuse me. Maybe it's a regional thing, and I'm just lucky? I don't know.

In my experience KK is overpriced and the doughnuts sit in the display case all day, possibly longer. Every single time I had the misfortune of having one, it was literally crispy, as per the brand name. They're inedible if you know how an actual doughnut is supposed to taste like - even gas station pastries are better, at least they're in a proper display with temperature control and they stay *somewhat* moist. Krispy are so crispy you could use them as a makeshift weapon.

I don’t get why Krispy Kreme is

It’s got to be a regional thing. I’m in California and when I went to the east coast, I had Dunkin’ Donuts. THEY SUCK!! There aren’t many Starbucks there. Also, Sonic. It’s shit, but it’s popular on the east coast too.

The hilarious thing about DD is that they're primarily a coffee shop franchise, the doughnuts are actually the side gig. It's the weirdest marketing scheme ever.

Dunkin' Donuts isn't in Australia, but the idea of submerging cinnamon-covered donuts into coffee just doesn't sound appealing to me. Why coffee? Why not hot chocolate, which just tastes better and doesn't make me do spit-takes?
And how hot is DD coffee anyway? Hopefully it's drinkably-hot, not scalding-hot - McDonalds has a history of the latter.

Never been to DD myself, we don't have them in my area, at least no locations that I know of.

Hot chocolate and donut would be too sweet. Fooey!
Hot coffee and donut are great! The bitterness of the hot, steamy coffee being absorbed by the big, fluffy, sweet donut is incredible. It all just melts in your mouth. So. Good.

The bitterness of the hot, steamy coffee

Underlined the issue with coffee, compared with other drinks (e.g. tea).

 

[Foxi4]

>Tfw people advocate for drinking burnt bean soup.

Y'all degenerate. The only acceptable form of coffee is in various sweets and pastries, and only as a mild flavouring. Tiramisu? Gimme dat right now. A cup of coffee? Makes me heave, literal mud water.

 

[tfocosta]

Peanut Butter and Biscoff are my 2 favorite flavors.

My family likes to joke that I'm adopted, because I HATE donuts, and they ran a wildly successful bakery in California for decades...of which was famous for Swedish bread, and donuts.

• Krispy Kreme: sad stale donuts of sadness with ground-up depressed sugar on top, boyfriend liked them, considering ditching him over his donut opinions sad/10
• Shipleys: I hate them the least out of the big corpo donuts 2/10
• Dunkin: I can still taste the donut grease that was dripping from the one I had a year ago, haunts me forever -20/10
• Duck Donuts: They don't taste like donuts at all, fantastic idea, give me more cheesecake not-donut discs please 6/10
• Pronto Donuts: I've hated these donuts ever since I was 3 years old but getting them is a family tradition that I love. I regret taking a bite every time but I do it to make my great-grandma who bought them for me happy 100000000/10
• Winchells: I've never had a donut from here but their orange juice is so amazing that I wish I lived in California just specifically for it OJ/10

 

[Louse]

Okay, you deserve to be fired for such an awful take whilst being Chief Editor. Out with you!

I tried to warn @Chary for a hate crime, but apparently I'm not allowed, so it seems some animals are more equal than others.

Since we seem to be posting hot food takes:

That has nothing to do with donuts. Get out of class for attempting to distract everyone!

 

[Julie_Pilgrim]

I've only had donuts from one place, this small shop near me

Oh no you revealed one of your terrible secrets to the world... RIP your career it'll never recover after a reputation hit like this
