I hate you. ;-)

We don't have one here. I stopped at one on vacation and bought half a dozen donuts. Damned things are good!

I would weigh 400 lbs if a Krispy Kreme were located in my hometown.

1. I have to avoid them. I'm drawn to the "hot" light.
I've already been ghastly overweight, and I don't want to go back. :D

5. LOL!
I was on Atkins last year...I still don't do many carbs since then. But I experienced a carb overload--a delicious one---when I ate three Krispy Kremes in one sitting as I was driving through Birmingham last week.

I'm with you, GOPisEvil, gotta avoid those "hot" lights. :-)

6. They're like drug dealers with their "free samples".
Damn them! :grr:

2. Can I ask for a Tim Horton's here? I love their donuts.
Their coffee is superb, also.

I'm just being different. :-)

3. Oh yeah, babee!
Coming from Massachusetts, I thought Dunkin' Donuts were just fine... until I came down here to North Carolina and started eating Krispy Kremes. Now I understand why DD can't compete down here. No one wants the thick cake style of DD. There's a name for the style of donuts KK makes, I just don't remember what it is.

However, for those in Montgomery County, I'll put in a plug for Montgomery Donuts. I grew up eating them almost every weeknight on my way home from school, and if I hadn't had such a high metabolism, or had had more spare cash, I probably would have been a porker by 12th grade.

7. we have had them since way before I was born
AHHHHH!! YES!! The best doughnuts... I am 33 and I live in Morristown and we always go down to Knoxville and get them. They have them in the grocery stores all over East TN and they are delicious..... They are best when you go to the shop and get "HOT NOW" Krispy Kreme doughnuts. They stay open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Dunkin Donuts are garbage compared to Krispy Kreme....

8. I dunno about "garbage"
There is a time and a place for both. I love the smell of both places - but for me KK are so much more available (and addictive) - they're at all the local grocery stores!

10. We have Krispy Kremes delivered...
every morning to our local grocery stores, but I will not buy them anymore since finding out almost all their political contributions go to the GOP.

12. I eat them once a month.
One day a month, I have an "eat crap day". Breakfast is usually Krispy Kremes. We don't even "officially" have one, but a local supermarket gets them delivered fresh every morning. So good. :D

13. Each and everyone is a little buite of heaven....
There was one on my way to work for years. I'd stop on Fridays often to buyy a couple of dozen for the staff. EVERYONE loved the Krispy Kremes. Maybe its a southern thing.

16. One of the two greatest mysteries in the world today.
1. Why so many people support GWB, our dimwit of a president
and
2. Why so many people like Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

I think they suck. I'll take one Dunkin' Donut any day of the week before I would ever take a dozen KKs.
