My local Shaw's market recently began selling Krispy Kreme donuts.
This is kinda funny to me, because the other major market in our area, Stop
and Shop, has a Dunkin Donuts kiosk in most stores. Coffee, donuts, muffins,
the whole nine yards.

Anyway, stopped at Shaws on the way home from work. The first thing I put in
the cart was a pair of very small donuts. One chocolate frosted with Cream
filling, the other similar, but with custard filling. They were 75 cents
each!!!!! And let me tell you. SMALL!!!! I mean, maybe 3 inches in diameter
and only about an inch tall. And nothing special. I had the cream filled
donut just now. Nothing special. Light, yeah, good chocolate frosting, but
no better than the donuts they used to sell there, that they made there (or
were made elsewhere by Shaw's and brought in, who knows.) and half the size
for 50% more! I did like the cream filling, that was tasty, and different
than most donut fillings I've had, but there wasn't enough of it for my
taste. Overall, for the money and all the hype, I wasn't impressed.

Is it just me, or is Krispy Kreme a lot of marketing hype and not much else?

I miss the donuts I used to be able to get at Stop and Shop. They were big,
with LOTS of filling. I always brought my dad some. He'd go there himself
for their donuts. And with a Dunkin' and another local donut shop across the
street, he preferred the donuts at Stop and Shop because they were bigger,
cheaper and were all about the fillling. Dad loved jelly or apple filled
donuts. Oh well.
