Wow that's awful. When I was an RA in Woodys, I would drive to that Krispy Kreme every Friday and get 2 dozen donuts for the floor.
It's stupid, but I love that place. It holds a lot of memories for me.

When I was in college, we went there one night and were standing in line when someone busted through the door to rob the place. Oh the memories!

We used to go over there and buy dozens of boxes of doughnuts at $2/box and resell them in the dorm for $4/box to make money for the hall council.
You can't even get 2 doughnuts at the Krispy Kreme here in Marietta for $2 now. Inflation sucks.

You're young
... We bought them for $1 and sold for $2 for Towers Hall Council... granted that was 35-38 years ago ('82-85).

I don't find this to be unpopular. Thank you for giving me the courage to also stand up for Dunkin.

Yep, we have quite a few gourmet type donut shops!

Those aren't doughnuts. They are round cakes with a hole in the middle. May as well argue between Twinkies and Dunkin.
Agreed ... if we're talking about sweet bread. If we're talking donuts, go with the 'Kreme.
Why you gotta interrupt folks' mourning, man? Have you no heart, buckeye?
I'm not cryin'.... you're cryin'. Why's it so dusty in here anyway?
Rest in power, PonceKK (til they rebuild you)

reddit post from a former Dunkin employee:
The doughnuts don't stand a chance against Krispy Kreme, the employee said. "Have you ever tried Donut King or Krispy Kreme? Those places have steaming, fresh, high-quality donuts. They're amazing. The Dunkin' Donuts variety are significantly less appealing," he explained. Adding, "Hell, the ones in my store came shipped frozen only to be baked later. That's not quality."
Notice his comment about 'baked". Cakes are baked. Doughnuts are fried. Maybe that's why they call them 'donuts' and not 'doughnuts'.

If the hot sign is on, Krispy Kreme is unbeatable.

God the memories. Limited to $20 to feed two from Friday night to Monday morning, that KK was the best value in town for pure carbs.
Coming off the line, you couldn't stop eating them. Terrible decision an hour later when they exploded in your stomach. But it was worth it since they were soooooooo good.
