I agree they used to be. But that is good news. I shouldn't be eating
that stuff. But I am waiting for our first Crispy Cream donut shop to
open sometime in the spring.!

There are only 1 or 2 KKs around Boston, and I finally found myself driving
by one a few weeks ago with a coffee mug that needed serious attention, so I
stopped in. Tell me -- what is all the hoorah about?? These are eminently
average doughnuts, with coatings that have way too much sugar. I
encountered nothing worth waiting 15 minutes for, let alone a couple of
hours!

My guess is that in today's America, folks rarely have the opportunity to
eat a fresh made, warm doughnut anymore, so the experience is an extreme
novelty. That's it. End of KK's marketing strategy! I can remember eating
warm, fresh doughnuts at local shops 50 years ago. When Dunkin Donuts
opened, they did the same thing, only they made them faster. And, of
course, back then a "honey dipped" doughnut was really "honey" dipped. ;-)
