And a free mobility scooter for self-inflicted obesity!

I know it can take a little time to get this to all McDonald's but by the end of 2026!?

I understand they will be selling $35.00 dollar insulin there as well.

Those donuts are sooooo freakin good!  Years back, I drove 5 miles in a rainstorm to buy a dozen.  They would take them right off the conveyer belt, freshly made.  They are CRACK!!!

I checked the price of a dozen Krispy Kremes because this thread piqued my curiosity.  Summer of 2020, a dozen plain glazed was $10.99; a dozen today is $16.49!  A 50% increase in less than 4 years 😳

just a few weeks ago, I felt like having a donut for dessert while driving around......drove into the KK drive-thru and ordered a couple standard raised glazed at the speaker box.......got to the window and the staffperson handed me a bag of six with no charge!!.......I said "what?!", insisted on paying, and he explained something about the red "hot" sign was on and that means free -- or something???......I knew about the "hot" sign story at KK, but certainly didn't know it meant "free"!........not a member of any Krispy Kreme club...

(this true story is in no way confirmation that you will receive the same treatment at Krispy Kreme)

I thought the red sign meant you got one free, not six.  He must've liked you 🙂

As far as I know the red hot sign just means the original glazed donuts are being served hot, right from the conveyor belt, nothing free.

Exactly!

We need personal responsibility in our choices!

Unfortunately now even Oprah gave up and thinks it's all about taking a pill day....

I would suggest she gets a personal assistant to slap her in the hand when she makes the wrong choice. She CAN afford another assistant, right? Some folks might even work for her just for a selfie!

Exactly what Americans need, more fat, sugar and carbs in our food!

They aren't, but just finished having chicken pizza (boneless chicken breast with a few pepperoni slices decorated on top for over 10 bucks).

I’ve never understood the Kristy Keene hype. I think their stuff is highly overrated. Sickenly sweet. More of a Dunkin fan.

Krispy Kreme is more of a southern tradition. I actually prefer KK donuts to Dunkin. People seem to like one or the other.

Dunkin' used to have great donuts back when each location made their own on site.  Now each area makes them all in one central bakery (fryery?) and delivers to the local franchises.  Because of that business model, corporate always plans to open a cluster of new franchises, not just a single location, when entering a new market.  You go to Dunkin' Donuts for the coffee, not the donuts.

Krispy Kremes are awesome when they're fresh off the conveyer belt.  An hour or so after they cool off, yeah, I agree they're too sweet.  That's what makes me doubt this McD+Krispy Kreme plan's chances of success.
