    Have you ever had Krispy Kreme doughnuts?

    Are they worth a 4 hour drive?

    I've never had one and they don't sell them where I live. My friends are driving to NYC tomorrow and the main reason is to buy dozens of these doughnuts.

    Are they worth the trip?

    rotflmao ....... uhhh..... no. They are good and all, but they are the most basic donuts in the world. They remind me of cartoon donuts, you know the epitome of.

      No sweat, I and some buddies would sometimes do "pilgrimages" to the closest In & Out burger in Northern California when I was going to college--Pleasanton. A nice hour ride via BART from Berkeley. It was well worth it.

          Krispy Kreme donuts are an invention of SATAN!!!

              krispy kreme are good. I'd say they are worth a 1 and a half hour drive. but watch out...if you make the trip once... you'll make a habit of it.

              I have one 20 minutes from me - and make a 2am run once a month.

              still have yet to make the 14 hour drive to In & Out. (I think they are okay, but wouldn't make that trip just for the burger).

              I routinely go 90 minutes for italian subs, at Meconis in Olympia WA

                  Agreed

                  They are some serious munchies... I eat way to many since my local Giant Grocery store started carrying them a few months ago. The Vanilla Cream filled are killer, but be prepared for a sugar rush on the drive back.....Guaranteed this will be a munch for you to put in the record book.

                  Almost forgot, I suggest an Icy cold Gallon of milk to go with the donuts

                    Clay,

                    I think they've got too much sugar in them... I have one 10 minutes away and it makes me sick to even drive by it.

                    I'd suggest speding the 8 hours (round trip) doing something more worth while, like staring at a blank wall.

                        I was talking to my wife about it this morning; our closest one is 2 hours away.

                        After seeing this I'm definitely driving up there tomorrow and after I tell my family and friends I'm going I will probably end up buying 15 dozen.

                          You guys are absolutely nuts. I have one at my school. And In and Out is only a couple blocks from school.

                            Very good,
                            But like KC said 99% sugar!

                            If you go, make sure you get there when they open and get them HOT off the Line... Not worth it if you don't..

                              They aren't that good. And if they're the ones they pack up and send to gas stations, then they are really bad. Like all donuts, the best ones are the ones that are right out of the oven. I used to go to a place in my hometown...Dan's Donuts, that we affectionately called "Dirty Dan's," and I would go there around 2 am when I knew the first batch of donuts was just getting done. Those were the best donut I've ever had. I would drive out of my way for them....but Krispy Kreme is just a chain. Dunkin Donuts is better if you're into chains.

                                  krispy kreme's are great and theres one only a couple minutes away from here :D, every friday we have them drop off a couple boxes at the office. I wouldn't drive 4 hours for a donut though, maybe you could ask them to overnight a couple boxes to you, probably cost as much as you'd spend on gas driving there.

                                    I had one a last year, I really don't see what the big deal is about them.

                                      isn't there an unspoken rule that any food starting with a "k" instead of a "c" should be avoided at all costs?

                                              No no no. That's all wrong!

                                              It is a comedic rule that words with a 'k' in them are funny.

                                                It is a comedic rule that words with a 'k' in them are funny.

                                                  Oh, and we got a krispy kreme 9 miles from our house and I never had one before in my life until my wife brought some home. Fresh, hot, sweet.... I nearly embarrassed myself.

                                                            These threads make me sad.
                                                            cuz I don't have a fucking clue of what your talking about.
                                                            It's the same with some other munchies stuff you talk about, the only us-based munchies company here is the allmighty McD...surprisingly.

                                                            Just thought you ought to know.
                                                            ..and I'm off.

                                                                  Krogers here carries them but you have to be fast. They sell more than 500 boxes in an hour usually. (according to the deli manager) I believe it since we have seen the truck run the racks of them in and they are history quick. We have been trying to catch a box for 2 weeks now with no luck.

                                                                  If they dry out? Damp paper towel over one in bowl for 20-30 secs on low and voila. Fresh again!

                                                                  That works great on pizza too. My old man has taught me some cooking stuff finally. lmfao

                                                                          I just woke up <insert bed-head icon here> and decided not to go. If the doughnut were filled with crack, then I'd go. They'll bring me back a dozen and I'll stick em in the oven...good enough for me

                                                                          really cheap tho, I guess theyre like $2 for a dozen.

If you got the bucks you can always have some shipped same-day to you. "Chopper me in a dozen glazed and a dozen of them Twinkie-cream filled ones..."

                                                                            Dunkin Donuts, Wenchel's and Yum Yum Donuts dropped the ball when it comes to quality and service. That is the real reason Krispy Kreme is doing well.

                                                                                            I remember years ago (now I feel old since alot of you probably weren't even out of diapers) when the only one around was about an hour from my house -- every time we went anywhere in that vicinity we stocked up on them coming and going.

                                                                                            I try to avoid them like the plague now, since they are nothing but sugar (or maybe it is crack lol), but they are sooooo good. Puts Dunkin, etc to shame.

                                                                                                I'm in Toronto, and i have heard there is a Krispy Kreme like half hour from here, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm on a plane coming back from maybe Miami or Vegas a few months ago, this guy has like 8 dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts as his carry on.... each dozen in a box. His BIG plan, to sell them for $50 a dozen! LOL

                                                                                                So maybe if you can offload them at $50 a dozen (mind you, I'm sure he meant $50 CAD not USD) then 4 hour drive, do it! lol

                                                                                                Don't you know who I think I am?
