jrockster21 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Fast metabolism is a boon...I can down 8 Krispy Kremes in a matter of minutes, and not gain a pound. I've been like that my entire life...sucks for you guys who gain 20 pounds with one dounut, because those things are freakin' good. I hate you. I seriously hate your guts. :laugh: Dunkin' Donuts coffee is the jam. I used to drink a ton of it. Krispy Kreme donuts are good, but they are really sweet. I have the monster of all sweet tooths, and they're almost too sweet for me!! Plus, does it piss anyone else off that they spelled Crispy and Creme with K's?? That annoys me...:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 The ironic thing is, the size of krispy creme donuts compared to other donut shops is crap. They are half the size, twice the calories. I mean don't get me wrong, I have had Krispy Kreme donuts and like them, but I just don't think they are far above and beyond better then your standard donut shop, in order to justify the price.

unsonny Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 you all ever read that poem by Poetri?http://poetri.com/poetri_the_performer.htm classic!!! KRISPY KREME by Poetri All I want to know is Where did Krispy Kreme donuts come from? What sick man invented this? I see the sign every day! ‘cause I’m in there every fricken day! This black militant fella once told me that Krispy Kreme used to be called Krispy Kreme Kroissants…AHA!! Kroissant spelled with a K… Just like the rest of their names meaning KKK! They were started to keep the black man down and round so when the revolution comes back around all the black men would be too fat to fight, going through withdrawl symptoms, addicted to the KKK made to order glazed drugs…I mean donuts. But everyday, I see white people inside Krispy Kreme, ‘cause I’m in there every fricken day! I even saw the black militant fella’ in there one time so I think it’s safe to say that he was lying. All the same Krispy Kreme is still trying to kill me, just like the KKK, the CIA, and the devil Their stock has jumped leaps and bounds since they met me or should I say, since I met them on that cold rainy night. it was love at first taste… glaze melted into my mouth like a waffle from Roscoe’s. And I remember thinking in Shakespearean, “What fresheth taste hath fallen from grace into thine mouth.” They know me by a first name basis when I come in, I’m like NORM from CHEERS…POETRI!!!! When I go through the drive-through, they know my voice, “What’s up Poetri, the usual?” “NO I DON’T WANT THE USUAL… ALRIGHT GIVE ME THE USUAL!!!!!!” I try to disguise my voice at times and I think I’m pretty good, you should hear my Fat Albert, but they know it’s me, ‘cause I can only do fat people! it’s not fair, I already have French fries to deal with, now this! I must forever fight the temptation, of the creation of the perfect fattening donut… Krispy Kreme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiaredskin Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I taught myself to hate donuts my freshman year, as everyone would go to "Daylight Donuts" in Auburn late at night & feast....in total fear of the Freshman 15. It actually worked. For years I'd look at a donut and think "I hate it" and feel nauseated. Mental power at its best. Nowadays, I may eat a donut once every 5 months or so, only b/c I'm not a sweet tooth and would much rather divulge my calories as Big Macs, French fries, or pizza. Does anyone remember Montgomery Donuts? Now those were the bomb. A Chocolate Twist would make my day. Too bad now they are closed. Good childhood memories....

I know, I know. I was deeply saddened to find that out. Gude drive held many a blessings.....remember that roller rink "Wheel-a-while"? And O'Brien's Pit BBQ is still there (dang good). Just Montgomery Donuts.......my mom would treat us by taking us there after swim practice before school. As swimmers we ate up to 6000 calories a day and were twigs!! I hated being away from the area the past 8 years then to come home and find out places like that were closed. Still good to be back. But jrockster---I wouldn't trade Hawaii for anything!

The roots, man, the roots.....there is something about living where you grew up that is just right. And after being back up here after living in South Georgia for 8 years, it sure feels gooood...to be near all the action at the Capitol, the heart of the country, but especially to FEEL it in the air---the Redskins Fever!!! :helmet: (plus I got to go to two games-Bears & San Fran-when I'd never been in my life.)

Heaven. Yeah...lived in Arlington for most of my life. The Skins doing well is one of the reasons why I miss it so much!! I remember in the late 80's and early 90's everyone was Skins-crazy!! So good to be a fan. And since I left ~8 years ago, they haven't been that good, or good enough to get excited about (I knew they'd screw it up in 99). Ah well...such is life! I'll be back one day!

Those were the days. I remember IF you were lucky enough a kid to get to go to the Superbowl parade, our school accepted that as a valid excuse to miss school!!!! I'd tell my GA friends about it (re: Redskins fever up here) and they'd say, "WOWwww". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinzRool Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Dunkin Donuts is far better than Krispy Kreme. DD has much better coffee and a much better selection. KK's stated opening up here in CT a couple of years ago and were the talk of the town. You would wait in line for an hour to get a donut. Now, they're all going out of business.

SkinzRool - the one that opened in Milford is still, to this day, one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen. They had traffic backed up down the Boston Post Road with cops directing traffic....people standing in line under tents setup in the parking lot with propane heaters to keep them warm because it was 20 degrees outside...and they are standing in line for 2+ hours for doughnuts???????? ...but you are right...today, there is never a soul in that place when I drive by...

China Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Like Krispy Kreme but want to avoid the weight gain? Try the Krispy Kreme Challenge. In 2004, NC State Sophomore Chris McCoy came up with a challenge. He would gather some friends at the NC State belltower and begin a run toward downtown Raleigh. His jog would take him two miles downhill to the Raleigh Krispy Kreme bakery. There they would each consume 1 dozen of the legendary hot glazed doughnuts. The group would then run back to the belltower to finish the race. All in less than an hour. The run was only a rumor, until December 2005. The Saturday before exams, while most were recovering from the traditional Hillsborough Hike, Peyton Hassinger and Greg Mulholland gathered some friends to complete the Challenge. About 10 students participated and the day’s winner was Ben Gaddy, who completed the Challenge with a record time of 34 minutes, 27 seconds. Now that the Challenge made it into the pages of Sports Illustrated: On Campus (see #85), the organizers hope to have hundreds participate for this year’s race. The Krispy Kreme Challenge is more than a gastric and physical endurance test. Any proceeds will go to support the North Carolina Children’s Hospital. Come and take the challenge: run for the kids.
