Yup. The only two I like are the chocolate creme-filled one that you
had (assuming that they don't skimp on the chocolate frosting, as has
happened) and the raspberry-filled glazed. All of the other fillings
are mediocre, no better than canned pie filling. The appeal of the
glazed donuts is lost on me, but then I don't particularly go crazy
over funnel cakes either.

I actually prefer the small size of the KK donuts, but unfortunately
they are not priced proportionately.
