Krispy Kreme Downgraded On Prospect Of Waning Doughnut Demand As 'GLP-1 Fever' Sweeps America
2023-10-31

#15  If you stay with the basic doughnut, a KK is only 10 grams of sugar. Now, try just eating one. You can do it.

#14  I love K Kreme donuts.

They come as close as anything to the 'melt in your mouth' standard.

#12  Who's up for a chocolate-covered donut with fentanyl sprinkles?

Far too many people. That said, I think they should get what they want.

#9  What I mentioned was in the guidance. While Bidetflation is the major part of the problem, the other is real too.

You tend to be more 'selective' under those rules.

#2  At over $14.50 a Dz and $1 off for the 2nd DZ. VS. what use to cost $8.50 2-3 years ago and 2nd DZ $2.50 off. We haven't visited them in over a year, even with the HOT-N-NOW sign flashing at me.

Dating myself here:
1972 - After School Booster club sale.
Paid $2.50 for my 1st dz. Glazed and $1.50 for the added 2nd dz.Glazed.

Had to give the School Bus Driver, 2 Glazed doughnuts, just to bring them on the bus. Needless to say I was very popular sitting in the back of the bus that day. The Glazed Mustache / Smile was shared by a number of young ladies faces for the ride home.
