Parrots may thank us, if they are not mute,

Woe betide! The worst has come to pass, and I have been swept up in it. I don’t know if I will survive. Heck, I don’t know if the world will survive. It’s truly a disaster of monstrous proportions. I’m very frightened. Also scared.

So what’s wrong?

They opened a Krispy Kreme Donuts. 3 minutes drive from my house. Directly on the road that I drive to get home from basically any shopping trip, and often from work. A big KKD. With a drive through. And a hot sign. And specials. And an enticing aroma, and blinking lights. And it’s open 24 hours.

Last night, I was on my way back from seeing T3 (which I’ll discuss later), and without my even being aware of it, I was suddenly in the drive-through lane. The next thing I knew, I had ordered 13 donuts. And now they’re all gone. I have to assume that I ate them. I think they were pretty good. This is incredibly dangerous.

I might die.

    donuts are like that. they creep up on you and before you know it, they’ve snuck their way into your stomach.

    they lurk.

    If they made crullers, I would be in severe danger. HJALP!

    Wow, that sounds like a dire situation.

    There’s only one thing left to do: move!

    Either that, or you could cripple yourself and break your car so you could never leave the house.

    Or, I suppose, you could get one of those stomach surgery things where you can only eat like 5 bites at a time. That would work really well, actually. Then you could eat 5 donuts a day and nothing else. Think of the money you could save!

    Avi…
    Listen to me very carefully. They may not BE genuine KKD.
    Here’s what you gotta do:

    Buy 3 dozen and send them to me. I’m willing to sacrifice myself to be SURE that they’re the real thing.

    It’s the least someone could do.

    What is Krispy Kreme Donuts anyway. I’ve only heard of them once, and that was on the local news, where there was a slot talking about the first Krispy Kreme in Connecticut and how people had queued all night to get a Krispy Kreme donut from it.

  7. do_not_lick says:

    Ok. There a few things going on with KKD that makes them so good.

    First, they have a very good donut dough recipe. The dough is light, fluffy and it tastes very good.

    Second, they have a very good icing. It’s not a thick white icing, it’s applied in a very thin layer and it’s crispy and flakes off when you touch it. It’s delicious.

    But then there’s the topper — the truly amazingly wonderful thing that sets KKD on a pedestal well above any other donut establishment. The Hot Sign. When the hot sign is lit, you can get fresh-from-the-oven hot donuts. They’re amazing. Spectacular. Orgiastic.

    There’s one in Medford. I suggest you go.

    ok, it may be because I’m a weirdo foreigner, but to me, Doughnuts should have neither icing nor powdered sugar anywhere near them. A proper doughnut should be covered in granulated sugar and filled with strawberry jam, and it should drip jam all over you when you bite into it. The warm thing sounds good though!
