Most people didn't understand the "real" Krispy Kreme mystique. The
donuts are , IMO, only good when they are hot off the conveyor belt.
Once they cool off and are shelved, they are just another donut, and
nothing to write home about.

If you have never had a hot, glazed Krispy Kreme, you haven't
participated in the mystique.
