The Krispy Kremes regular glazed doughnut I have seen, is not average
sized in the least. It is the smallest doughnut I have ever seen. Not
counting doughnut holes though.

Yep, it is way over-hyped. Though I have never had a KK fresh. Always
been bought, boxed up and brought to where ever I am.
When the first KK opened up here about 2 years ago, the hype was
unbelievable. I think there were long lines for the first 3 or 4 days.
Had to have a traffic cop.
The second KK to open, did not get near the hype. I didn't know one had
opened until about 6 months later. It is about 7 miles from where I
live. I won't drive 7 miles for a Hot/Fresh KK.
Now for a fresh bagel, ah, that I will drive for. Not even sex is better
than a great bagel fresh out of the oven. Don't have a great bagel shop
around here though. Good maybe, but not great.
Merry Christmas.
