today was not a day to be proud of, diet-wise. steak & shake, and then krispy kreme.
i've never been a big donut eater. all my friends, for years, have told me to go to the krispy kreme factory in raleigh. they say, "have a hot, fresh glazed and you'll change your mind!" yeah, yeah, yeah. whatever.
so tonight i went.
they were right.

i swear, i spent years believing that the hype about hot doughnuts was just that: hype. now i wish i had all of those years back. think of all the doughnuts i missed...
Posted by: christa at May 27, 2006 09:45 AMSome people love Krispy Kreme. Some People Love Duncan Donuts.
I say, why can't I love all my fellow donuts.
The hot, sticky deliciousness that is Krispy Kreme is just different to the iced delicoiusness that Duncan Donuts offers.
It all makes me prrrrr like a cat.
Krispy Kreme is responsible for a lot of fat on my thighs, I swear. And I regret it not!

I've eaten as many as 6 in 15 minutes.
Posted by: lastewie at May 28, 2006 09:49 AMI don't know if it's an urban legend or not, but I have heard the KK have like 60 grams of fat PER donut.
Is that even POSSIBLE?
That does indeed seem to be a myth, Gigdge. The nutritional information on the Krispy Kreme website says one original glazed is 200 calories, 100 from fat, with 12 grams of fat.
Posted by: minty at May 28, 2006 11:39 AMSo far, I have been able to resist donuts, so I don't want to experience the orgasmic delights of fresh fried dough drenched in a frosting waterfall. One more thing to avoid
Posted by: marianne at May 28, 2006 12:12 PM12 grams of fat. SO many less than 60......why I could consume 5 of those before I hit that dreaded 60 grams of fat mark.
I think your heart just explodes when you hit 60 grams of fat in one sitting.
So I'll stop at 4.....
Posted by: Gidge at May 28, 2006 10:18 PMSome people have accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.
I have accepted Krispy Kreme.
Do you mean to tell me that you were a HOT AND NOW virgin?!!!! What a travesty. I am so glad that you got that taken care of.
Once you go "HOT AND NOW" you never go back.
Posted by: Matt at May 30, 2006 12:15 PMBTW - I used to live accross from a Krispy Kreme and I could just "tell" when the "HOT AND NOW" sign was on. It was like this pschic feeling.
Sort of like "feeling" that there is a television on in the house.
Posted by: Matt at May 30, 2006 12:17 PMI'm pretty shocked about the first-timer thing, but glad it's over with.
