Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

For anyone who hadn't noticed, it's not all syrupy sweet at Krispy Kreme, and last year the company was on the brink of collapse.

That would have left a half dozen master franchisors around the world out of dough and a lot of holes across the US.

But it gets better. Krispy Kreme is doing an Enron on itself.

Plagued by falling sales and unable to borrow money, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts announced the retirement of its chief executive and hired as his successor a specialist in corporate reorganizations who is already running the Enron Corporation.

Be good citizens. Eat more crap, drink more beer, smoke more cigarettes and die sooner.

Yeah well, a man has got to die of something, eh?
Let me guess: you eat glaxed cruissants, savor expensive wine, and wear Fruitlooms?

Amazing that all the above is said over those of us who did or do love fresh, hot, KrispKreme glazed donuts from time to time. Bad Waldo, bad.

No, we all can't be upstanding model 'health freak' citizens like you, MaskedAvatar.

Oh. Looking at the commercial machinery and the evils perpetrated in between the doughnut holes is more the domain of ATS, I forgot! BTS is nice and sweet sugar-coated 24/7.

Sorry!

Have another doughnut and sugar fix, Seekerof, it'll make you feel much better.

And whatever you do - don't go near the link I provided, it could change your perception of Krispy Kreme forever. No... DON"T touch the red button... don't do it!

(I prefer my croissants au naturale, and I only eat food that I can spell, in the incantation sense. My culinary vices are plastered as little morsels all over this website.)

Have another doughnut, and DON'T click the link. Ignorance is bliss.

DON'T look at the picture of your new doughnut king. Eat more donuts. Be happy. Doughnuts make you happy.

Lets eat some Krispy Kremes whilst riding our Segways. Most over hyped things of the last few years.

I hate Krispy Kreme donuts, they're gross! I don't eat stuff like this, gross, hard on the tummy. Too sweet. Even if I was to cave and eat some such garbage - I would have Dunkin Donuts, they are better (one WILL belch them up for 2 days later, however).

The absolute most horrifying donut is this though: Here in Chicago, at "Certified Grocers" you can get these "Brothers Donuts", 12 in a box for $1.00. That's right: only one dollar for this box of donuts. Looks good when you are hungover. But they will kill you! They should give away antacids with these awful things! They don't taste too bad.........but then..........you feel like someone has stabbed you in the guts! Stay away from these things!

Niki is two points off 666.

S/he needs just two donuts to get there.

Donuts are good. Homer says so.

mmmm mmmm mmmmmmmmm!!!!

God, they are the worst things ever to hit our shores. I hate them..... and if one more person at work has a Krispy Creme fund raising drive for their kids school!!!!!!!

I will kill myself...
