FIGHT

Dunkin Donuts FTW

[fart_bubble]

neither, I'll take any of the local bakeries over either of the two

[SIUfan]

Krispy Kreme for the win!

[primetime]

This is hardly a contest.

Krispy Kreme takes this one.

[Rocko]

Dunkin Donuts.

[SneakyPenguin]

Why bother to make two choices? The answer is always Dunkin Donuts.

[anomynous]

This is hardly a contest.

Krispy Kreme takes this one.
Wrong

[Brak]

Both suck, but Krispy Kreme tastes like it was created with a chemistry set.

Voted for Dunkin.

[whoknows]

Krispy Kreme.

Never thought Dunkin Donuts was that great, then again it has been years since I've eaten there.

[primetime]

Wrong

Or... am I so right it blows your mind? :lol:

[umcthomas]

Krispy Creams make me sick. I'd never had them until I moved to KC. After coming here I spent about 2 years randomly getting ill in the evening. I finally put it together that I was geting sick on days I had Krispy Cream in the morning. So...Duncan Donuts for me (actually no donuts for me but by default DD wins for not making me sick.)

T

[anomynous]

Here's another reason Dunkin wins:

We (me & my friends) went up to KK at 10 p.m. and ordered 3 donuts at the drive through. The lady gave them to us for free. We then drove around again to try to get some more. When we pulled up she recognized us, and charged us for both times. What a bitch.





:lol: :lol:

That's a true story, but I'm kidding about her being a bitch.

[Dead of Knight]

This is hardly a contest.

Krispy Kreme takes this one.
This.

[GAMERMASTERMAN]

i prefer local bakeries, but if i have to pick one of those, ill go with krispy kreme

The free sampling is only another reason to vote for KK, when you think about it. :)

Oh, and you should've at least switched drivers. Wouldn't have hurt.

[anomynous]

The free sampling is only another reason to vote for KK, when you think about it. :)

Oh, and you should've at least switched drivers. Wouldn't have hurt.
And the fact that we were laughing the whole time into the little drive through thing didn't help

[rodeojones903]

I HATE Krispy Kreme donuts. Only Dunkin Donuts and Shipley's for me.

[jaykrue]

They both taste about the same to me (on the rare occasion that I actually have either) so I don't see what the deal is w/ KK or DD (though I did grow up eating Dunkin Donuts).

[primetime]

And the fact that we were laughing the whole time into the little drive through thing didn't help

Ah, you gotta play it cool. You'll get her next time though :lol:

[anomynous]

Ah, you gotta play it cool. You'll get her next time though :lol:
And the thing is there are no Dunkin Donuts around here. I only have it when I go to NY every year

[lokizz]

neither, I'll take any of the local bakeries over either of the two

true that theres nothing better than local bakeries baked goods but if you cant get those then its krispy kreme for the win. the only thing i ever liked at dunkin doughnuts were the filled holes they sold. a box of those can be good on a late night but ive never been a fan of cake doughnuts. but in all reality a good pie or cheese cake will kick a doughnuts ass anyday.

[evilmax17]

I've lived in MA all my life, where there's a Dunkin Donuts on every corner. Honestly, their donuts aren't that good. Their coffee is good, and their muffins are great, but their Donuts? Usually a little stale and dry, and hardly delectable. They don't even make the donuts at their stores. They're made at factories, and then trucked to their various stores on large racks, already hours old by the time they've reached the stores.

Krispy Kreme opened their stores here a few years ago (and then closed them a year later), and I have to tell you, it was a personal donut epiphany. Their donuts are moist and delicious, and if you get one hot and fresh right out of the fryer, my god. There's nothing more pleasurable than biting into a hot KK donut.

KK, by far.

Theres a reason why you can't throw a rock without hitting a closed down Krispy Kreme in the Boston area. Dunkin Donuts completely murdered them, and is now moving into the midwest.

The donuts are not the main item for any of these chains. Its the coffee. Dunkin had the superior coffee, KK's sucked. Game over.

The ones that make their donuts on site are better, and the ones that get theirs trucked in several times a day, are good. The ones that either get low volume or are far away are the ones that get one delivery in the morning, and the same stale donuts at night. These are usually the hole in the wall locations at train stations, in gas stations, etc.

[hootie]

Dunkin' Donuts will always and forever be the best.


/topic

[veedubkid]

Is this for Coffee? Donuts? or both?
Coffee-hands down D&D
Donuts- Krispy Kreme
and both I would pick D&D because I drink coffee more than eat donuts

[mtxbass1]

KK around here.

Although it looks like Krispy Kreme as a whole is not doing good financially. I predict by next year that the entire chain is out of business.

[Blitz]

They both suck. You wouldn't go and get a real hamburger at McDonalds or Burger King so why would you get a real doughnut at those two places? The local places shit all over both of them.

[heatdolphins45]

what battle? Krispy Kreme owns.

[ITDEFX]

i'll just go for the one that doesn't give me a heart attack after eating 2 of them. :)

[muncle]

NONE OF THE TWO WIN..

TIM HORTONS FTW!!!!

I like Tom Hortons.

[PawnTakesKing]

Dunkin Donuts for their kolaches and coffee.

[ryanbph]

kk for the win

[UnderwaterMadman]

NONE OF THE TWO WIN..

TIM HORTONS FTW!!!!

I like Tom Hortons.

Timbits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CocheseUGA]

Krispy Kreme's doughnuts aren't hollow, don't taste like paper, and the place doesn't reek when you go in to get some.

[mykevermin]

neither, I'll take any of the local bakeries over either of the two

True for the most part. Some local bakeries are lackluster, and some are fuckin' amazing.

If I had to choose, there still isn't a choice. KK only does one donut (glazed) very well, and it's only good if it's within an hour or two of coming out of the oven. That's a tiny window of opportunity.

DD is pretty good, but I don't think I've had a dunkin' donut in years. I do miss my mom buying a giant box of the munchkins to shut us up when driving to get to a vacation destination, FWIW. Chocolate munchkins FTMFW.

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

neither, I'll take any of the local bakeries over either of the two

QFT.
But out of these, Krispy Kream.

[CouRageouS]

I've never seen a DD before, but KKs are plentiful around here. I'll vote for Chinese Food/ Donut place FTW! :lol: Worst combo ever.

[darthbudge]

An old lady I know makes the best dounuts ever. Out of those two I would pick KK.

Also Round Rock Dounuts are pretty good also.

[Tromack]

I don't see how there can be any question.
While Dunkin Donuts are by no means the best donuts in the world, they are miles above the insanely sugary pieces of shit that Krispy Kreme turns out.

[Lizard Axe]

Dunkin Donuts wins this battle but I always find that the independant family owned donut places have the best donuts.

RIP Donut Shoppe.

[J7.]

Krispy Kreme donuts are small, sugar laced, fatty, and lacking in a taste that doesn't make you sick after eating more than 1. Dunkin Donuts has more variety, larger, not laced with sugar or fat, and some great stand outs like the chocolate cake donut, the boston creme, jelly, crispy crunch, etc. Dunkin Donuts OWNS Krispy Kreme.

[bobo2k4]

Haven't had a donut in months but still voted for Krispy Kreme.

[Zenithian Legend]

Tim Hortons

I am afraid to inform you that DD has just as much sugar and fat as a KK doughnut does.

[Moxio]

I am afraid to inform you that DD has just as much sugar and fat as a KK doughnut does.

If it's any aid, a DD glazed has 0g of Transfat while a KK has 4g.

[CocheseUGA]

If it's any aid, a DD glazed has 0g of Transfat while a KK has 4g.

That's because it's made out of paper.

The rest of KK's lineup beats DD's as well. DD's Boston Kreme? Shit. DD's cruellers? Less than shit.

I can't think of one thing that DD beats KK at food-wise, except for the croissant sandwiches, and then I'd rather go to BK.

[jbuck138]

Krispy Kreme all the way!! No contest.

[moiety]

Krispy Kreme is #1!

I will give DD credit for their delicious muffins (pumpkin muffin season!), but I never enjoyed their donuts. Ever.

[Rocko]

Very close.

Closer than it should be. C'mon, DD, we all know you belong at the top.

[Admiral Ackbar]

Shoprite FTW!!!!

[mynameis]

Dunkin Donuts, just because of Munchkins.

[looploop]

Krispy Kreme. I only had a year with them before they died out in Rhode Island, but I'm loath to return to DD after tasting KK's stuff. I'll miss watching for the free donut light while driving.

[help1]

Tim Hortons.

[CocheseUGA]

Dunkin Donuts, just because of Munchkins.


http://krispykreme.com/doughnutholes.html

[JEKKI]

maaaaan... Krispy Kreme dont even taste like donuts.

that shyt is straight candy.

[Demolition Man]

Chocolate munchkins FTMFW.

This man speaks truth.

[J7.]

I am afraid to inform you that DD has just as much sugar and fat as a KK doughnut does.
Even if they did, that was not my point. Krispy's donuts taste sugary and fatty, Dunkin's taste baked and fluffy.

[porieux]

Only donuts worth eating are Kingpin in Berkeley. None other taste good enough to offset how bad they are for you. Therefore Kingpin is quite dangerous....I try to stay away from there. Krispy Kreme?? That shit is flat out NASTY.

[CocheseUGA]

Krispy's donuts taste sugary and fatty, Dunkin's taste baked and fluffy.

That's because the entire doughnut is air. Seriously, bite into one. You get a millimeter of dough, air, millimeter of dough.

[ispeshaled]

Neither...because they have neither here in Houston.

Shipley's FTW!

[soulvengeance]

Maple Donuts. Beat that.

[Deefuzz]

Dunkin' Donuts by leaps and bounds.

[Kirin Lemon]

Japan's Mr. Donut beats both competitors by leaps and bounds. Mmm, strawberry ring...

[J7.]

That's because the entire doughnut is air. Seriously, bite into one. You get a millimeter of dough, air, millimeter of dough.
Not true at all. Krispy Kreme donuts are the ones full of air, they should be called candy circles with extra air. :puke:

[JimmieMac]

All I know is this, all the KK I've ever been to make their donuts on site, DD gets them shipped in from central baking facilities, now I dunno about the rest of you but I'd rather have one made that day in-house than one that's been on a truck and shipped in.

[JimmieMac]

Krispy Kreme. I only had a year with them before they died out in Rhode Island, but I'm loath to return to DD after tasting KK's stuff. I'll miss watching for the free donut light while driving.

Oh shit, that one in Warwick/Cranston is gone?

[CocheseUGA]

Not true at all. Krispy Kreme donuts are the ones full of air, they should be called candy circles with extra air. :puke:

Bullshit. I could park my car in the airholes in a DD doughnut.

[loserboy]

I like Dunkin Donuts coffee best, as for the donuts, it depends on my mood; but my local bakery wins out over both of them...GO IMPALLARIA'S footlong sugar twist....

[Bathory]

Japan's Mr. Donut beats both competitors by leaps and bounds. Mmm, strawberry ring...

I've had Mr. Donut. Pretty Good. I have a mug from Mr. Donut.:D

And I like both KK and DD.

[YoshiFan1]

Dunkin Donuts. Krispy Kreme is a ripoff at 75 cents for a glazed, 85 cents for everything else. I actually prefer my local supermarket though. They are $0.49 and are huge especially the chocolate cream donuts and they get marked down to $0.30 later in the day

[Kapwanil]

KK vs. DD vs. Local Bakeries

If Fresh = Local Bakeries, hands down.
If Price = Local Supermarket Bakeries, hands down. DD comes close second.
If Texture (Yeast) = Tie between Bakeries/DD, ~maybe~ KK if unglazed & fresh.
If Texture (Cake) = Bakeries definitely, DD close second only if fresh.

I just lament that outside of home it seems the independent bakeries disappear in favor for those in supermarkets. Problem is that the ones around here, while tasty, are nowhere near as robust or as...interesting.

[pimpinc333]

Dunkin Donuts are way better. Krispy Creme are greased out POS.

[Foo228]

This is hardly a contest.

Krispy Kreme takes this one.

:hot: exactly!

[PenguinMaster]

They both taste horrible.

[hobocorpses]

Dunkin Donuts. Now let me think when was the last time I even had a donut of any shape or form.............3 years???....idk.....Dunkin Donuts is my vote.

[Ricochet]

NONE OF THE TWO WIN..

TIM HORTONS FTW!!!!

Agreed. Only drawback is that, since I don't live in Canada, the closest one is about an hour away.

[lawlflip]

I haven't had Dnukin' Donuts, so I had to go with Krispy Kreme.

[Nirvanaguy777]

I honestly don't eat dohnuts (saw this video years ago on the creation process...not a huge fan) but I will say the muffins and cookies from Dunkin are fantastic.

[moiety]

Japan's Mr. Donut beats both competitors by leaps and bounds. Mmm, strawberry ring...
I heard about a place called Doughnut Plant (http://www.doughnutplant.jp/index.html). I think they have a few locations around Tokyo. Have you tried it, and is it any good?

[wubb]

I can't believe this is a close poll. Have the people voting for DD never had a Krispy Kreme?

In my experience the stuff at DD has always been sitting out for a while. They aren't awful, just not worth the calories.

K Lemon - There was (maybe still is?) a Mr. Donut chain in america. Same company? Ah, wiki knows all:
"Mister Donut is a large doughnut franchise. Once an American icon, the franchise now operates mainly in Japan and other Asian markets."
"After the acquisition of Mister Donut by Allied-Lyons, all Mister Donut locations within North America were offered the chance to change their name to Dunkin' Donuts. Now only a scattered few locations still hold the name Mister Donut."

I have a really old coffee mug from there.

DD is more cake donuts and KK are basically all yeast. Poll might simply be coming down to which of those types people prefer. Although I guess you can get both types at DD.

[MorPhiend]

I like local bakery donuts. But Dunkin is more like that than Krispy. Krispy Kremes are not donuts...

[TahoeMax]

I voted for Dunkin', but neither Dunkin' nor Krispy Kreme is around Berkeley. I go to Dream Fluff, Kingpin, or Donut World.

[fieldkillah]

Heh, the results after I just voted were 63-62, looks like I put DD ahead for now. I have a 24 hour one 3 mins down the road and it's nice to get a bagel sandwich and a coffee at 2 in the morning.

[gamefan1686]

DD for me, the Krispy Kreme around me closed for no reason. I did get tired of KK due to the lack of selection, and now that DD is trans fat free thats icing on the donut.

[masked lemon]

I used to work at DD, and you couldn't pay me to eat that nasty ass shit.

Their donuts are shipped in, and are at the very least, 24 hours old by the time they get to the store.

KK by a fucking mile. Even if the only donut they had was the glazed, they'd still win.

[looploop]

Oh shit, that one in Warwick/Cranston is gone?

long gone:-({|=

[Eviltude]

Krispy Kreme wins, hands down.

I got a thing in the mail today about their "pumpkin spice cake" donuts and I really want to try one. Sounds good.

[shieryda]

Wow. This is closer than I thought it would be.

I voted Dunkin. The donuts are more filling, and their coffee rocks my world. Either way, if I eat more than 2 donuts from either place, I'm shitting myself for the next 4 hours.

[shieryda]

I haven't had Dnukin' Donuts, so I had to go with Krispy Kreme.

Votes like this shouldn't count.

[J7.]

Bullshit. I could park my car in the airholes in a DD doughnut.
Whatever. At least all the KK are closing haha! Can rely on the better Dunkin Donuts and also get better coffee there and their delicious bacon egg n cheese bagel sandwiches!

[CocheseUGA]

Whatever. At least all the KK are closing haha! Can rely on the better Dunkin Donuts and also get better coffee there and their delicious bacon egg n cheese bagel sandwiches!

Crap, crap, and the worst crap of all. They shouldn't be allowed to call what they serve 'egg'.

Our KKs will never close, and thus I will always be happy.

[Fanboy]

These are usually the hole in the wall locations at train stations, in gas stations, etc.

Replace Dunkin with Tim Horton's and that entire statement covers my response. Only had Dunkins in Montréal and got ill afterwards. As for KK, our company was handling the web presence for Krispy Kreme in Canada and they would drop off trays of donuts every Friday. The reactions went:

Friday - Week 1: "Woohoo! Free donuts! I'm hoarding as many as I can get!"
Friday - Week 2: "Hooray! Free donuts for all!"
Friday - Week 3: "Guys! The donuts are here!"
Friday - Week 4: "I think there's donuts up the front if you want some."
Friday - Week 5: Walks past the stacks of donut boxes *shudder*.

[CocheseUGA]

What's funny is, while everyone else is talking about all the KKs that have closed, the opposite is true here, especially in Atlanta. There are a bunch of DD/BR/some ice cream locations that have been closed forever.

Guess the NE likes DD, and the SE likes KK.

[hootie]

long gone:-({|=


Yeah, I used to go there every Sunday morning to pick up a fresh glazed donut :)

After awhile, I just got sick of them though. That being said, Dunkin' Donut's will never get old for me. :D

[ighosty]

KK all the way. Don't know how they are lossing this battle :-s

[hootie]

Because DD owns its' face 10 times over?

[Deefuzz]

KK is disgusting, and now that is all we have left around here. How I long for our DD to return.

But since my only options around here are KK, I stopped eating doughnuts.

I would rather buy a box of Hostess doughnuts then bite into a KK.

[lokizz]

KK is very strong in the SE. i dont even know if we have a DD locally. KK is growing in the west coast though they were popping up all over oregon and people were going ape shit over them.

[shieryda]

I even saw a Krispy Kreme when I was in Australia 2 years ago. My dad had never eaten a donut from there, so we had to stop and get one after dinner.

I love my area, because there are 2 Dunkin Donuts within a 3-minute drive from my house.

[musha666]

Any one who chooses Dunkin Donuts has obviously never had a fresh Krispy Kreme doughnut. There is just no comparison.

Its like asking which is better, Steak or a mcdonalds hamburger.

[crystalklear64]

Krispy Kreme wins. Hell, they give a free donut just for going inside. Plus mine is right next to Best Buy/Circuit city etc. so its perfect for days I don't want to spend money. Pick up my free donut and some water, walk on over to Best Buy and look at all the TV's, speakers, etc. Good stuff.

Whats Dunkin got on that?

Also..
I don't know if this is true of all KK, but they make the donuts constantly, and theres a spot near the counter with a conveyor belt that just carries them to the people putting them in boxes/bags, so while you're waiting in line, if they're making them, you can just grab one as fresh as possible and enjoy.

[J7.]

Crap, crap, and the worst crap of all. They shouldn't be allowed to call what they serve 'egg'.

Our KKs will never close, and thus I will always be happy.
Dunkin Donuts bacon egg n cheese on a bagel is awesome, you're just mad that I hate on KK. I'm so sick of hearing about people who love KK, it's like eating fried dough with a pound of sugar on top.

[CocheseUGA]

No, DD's 'egg' is some of the nastiest crap known to man.

You couldn't pay me to eat there.

[Javil]

Holy crap! It was tied until I voted Krispy Kreme. Krispy Kreme has a really unique taste that's so rich, you either love it or hate it. Dunkin' Donuts, though, is just regular ol' donuts. If I wanted those, I would hit a mom & pop donut shop.

Regular donuts? More like the donuts of freedom!!! Not all of us have the 20 dollars it takes to get a dozen KK, not to mention the insulin one will need!!!

[CocheseUGA]

So much ignorance in this thread.

One dozen glazed=<$5

[x_liquidaria_x]

When I bought mine it was at a school event. 12 for like 10 dollars or so. And I regret it ever since.

[Javil]

Javil says:
Wow. So there is this poll going on at CAG: Krispy Kreme vs. Dunkin' Donuts. It was tied 72 to 72. My vote put KK ahead by one vote.

x_liquidaria_x says:
About to become tied again. Whats the motherfucking link.

Javil says:
Oh, fuck that shit!

Javil says:
How can you vote DD?!

x_liquidaria_x says:
Cuz KK is disgusting!!!

Javil says:
They're rich, delicious, and downright delightful! DD has regular-style donuts. If I wanted those, I'd much rather hit up Rocky's or that place next to Blockbuster. DD does not deserve to win. At least KK has a taste you can't find anywhere else.

x_liquidaria_x says:
I know of one place. A motherfucking bag of sugar.

Javil says:
*lmao!* Not even, dude. I can fully understand that it's so rich it's either or hit or miss, but golly... So you're saying that DD simply wins by default?

x_liquidaria_x says:
Well out of the two, yes. Better to have a more mundane donut then one that will send you into sugar shock.

Javil says:
Coming from someone who has drank every Mountain Dew flavor known to man, I can't believe I'm even hearing this argument from you.

x_liquidaria_x says:
There's a difference!!

Javil says:
When is the last time you tried a Krispy Kreme donut?

x_liquidaria_x says:
Few weeks ago

Javil says:
Where at? Savemart?

x_liquidaria_x says:
Dunno. Step mom brought em. Bam 73-73 nucka

Javil says:
That isn't even fair! The closest KK is all the way in Hanford. Everyone knows that to truly experience KK is to have one of their donuts fresh off of the conveyor belt.

x_liquidaria_x says:
At least DD's flavor transcends time!!! Thats like saying "This flower LOOKs better... but you can only look at it for 5 minutes, and it'll cost you upwards of 60 or 70 cents to do so".

Javil says:
No, a better analogy would be that you vote for McDonald's over The Itis (from Boondocks) because you don't appreciate donut buns over regular buns. Not that you particularly like McDonald's the best, but you can't appreciate the genius of donut buns.

x_liquidaria_x says:
I'm just saying that KK markets to a select crowd: Silver spoonists who dont know what TRUE flavor is and just want a status symbol. Sure starbucks is good but so is the coffee from 711! Case and point.

Javil says:
I think what's going on here is that YOU don't know true flavor! Your taste buds have been dulled by Mountain Dew and 711 coffee. You can't even compare 711 coffee to Starbucks. They're two completely different things. You can't get a quad latte at 711, just like you can't get that unique flavor from DD. If I wanted a traditional donut, I'd sure as hell go to a mom & pop donut shop over DD!

x_liquidaria_x says:
Bullshit! It's damn easy to get krispy creme flavor!!! Get a DD. Wet it. Roll it around in a bag of sugar and reheat it to melt said sugar.

Javil says:
You're insane. First of all, KK donuts are light and airy. It doesn't hit your stomach nearly as hard as a regular donut. Regular DD donuts don't need to taste good, because you feel like you've had a brick for breakfast after eating just one. KK donuts, on the other hand, deliver maximum flavor on a dainty pastry.

x_liquidaria_x says:
But you can feel yourself getting sick even before the KK gets to your stomach!!!

Javil says:
I don't! And both you and I stomach some harsh things. I think you just have a mental stigma against Krispy Kreme for some reason. Perhaps you got a really old batch.

x_liquidaria_x says:
Nein!! I just hate KK! They're expensive, overly sweet, and nuritionally nonexistant.

[CocheseUGA]

x_liquidaria_x says:

That's so you can't tell how old they are.

KK? Elitist?

Dunkin Donuts
Founded: 1950, Quincy, MA
Glazed Doughnut Nutritional Information
230 K, 90 from fat
10g Fat, 4.5g Saturated Fat
12g Sugar


Krispy Kreme
Founded: 1937, Winston-Salem, NC
Glazed Doughnut Nutritional Information
200 K, 100 from fat
12g Fat, 3g Saturated Fat
10g Sugar

You were saying something about the KK glazed having more sugar?

In reality, the nutritional qualities are fairly even, minus the Trans Fats.

[x_liquidaria_x]

I was using hyperbole in that conversation, mostly for the sake of humor rather than forming a factual basis. Regardless of the facts, I stand by my claim that dunkin donuts are better, and that krispy kreme make me sick to my stomach.

[jaykrue]

Haven't seen the poll but my impression from the posts makes it seem the sides are fairly even. Thus it affirms my assessment that there really isn't a big difference between either and everyone clamoring for a particular side is suffering from a case of zealous fanboyism.

I think the problem is that there's such a big difference between the two and that causes everybody to polarize.

[lokizz]

thats just it you got them at school chances are they marked up the price. KK is good and its easily affordable. its rare to find that high quality of product at that low of a price. in the end though KK and DD doughnuts come from 2 diff worlds if you like thick heavy cake doughnuts you will gravitate towards DD but if you like light fluffy heavenly doughnuts then the more cultured and refined doughnut lovers stick with KK lol. but the real reality is if youre lucky enough to live in a place where people make things fresh by hand youre in heaven.


btw that DD breakfast bagel sounds alot like those breakfast bagles mcdonalds used to sell.

[jaykrue]

I think the problem is that there's such a big difference between the two and that causes everybody to polarize.

That would only be true if most everyone was polarized toward a particular company. I just checked the poll and it's at 77 for DD and 73 for KK but that's generally not statistically too much of a difference. It's too neck-and-neck for there to be a clear cut winnah. I suspect after this weekend, particularly on Sunday, the poll will have a few more people voting and it'll still be close.

[CocheseUGA]

Haven't seen the poll but my impression from the posts makes it seem the sides are fairly even. Thus it affirms my assessment that there really isn't a big difference between either and everyone clamoring for a particular side is suffering from a case of zealous fanboyism.

No, the two styles of doughnut are so diametrically opposite, it's exactly how I thought the poll would turn out.

I think you need to look up the definition of 'polarizing.'

[J7.]

No, DD's 'egg' is some of the nastiest crap known to man.

You couldn't pay me to eat there.
Good for you. Where do you go for your breakfast sandwiches and how much do they cost you?

[J7.]

That's so you can't tell how old they are.

KK? Elitist?

Dunkin Donuts

You were saying something about the KK glazed having more sugar?

In reality, the nutritional qualities are fairly even, minus the Trans Fats.
and minus the tiny size of the KK donuts...

[CocheseUGA]

Good for you. Where do you go for your breakfast sandwiches and how much do they cost you?

I make my own. Fresh, natural ingredients FTMFW.

Not surprised a KK lover would say that. DD breakfast sandwiches are leagues better than Mcdonalds, unless you prefer Mcdonalds fatty bacon, fake eggs, fake cheese, and BEYOND greasy bagels. It's almost like they dip their bagels in grease on purpose.

[CocheseUGA]

You sure you got the right restaurant? DD does the same thing. Preformed 'egg', round precooked bacon, cheap American cheese, and a small ass greasy croissant.

[J7.]

So do I, but you don't always have the time or ingredients at hand. So basically you're saying you don't buy any breakfast sandwiches anywhere other than making your own. I'm not surprised then, given that you probably don't have much experience with the breafast sandwiches of the world.

[J7.]

All fastfood places have preformed egg. DD bacon is never as fatty as Mcdonalds, you don't eat much of either of their breakfast food at all based on your previous post, so you don't have as much empirical experience to comment on such matters. McD's cheese is always subpoor on all their products. Croissants are only one of your options and McD's bagels are easily 10 times more greasy than DD croissants. Your argument is weak so you brought croissants into the debate, when I was always talking about bagels.

[CocheseUGA]

The Goodyear Blimp is bigger than a 747, but we all know why it's bigger.

LMAO. I've been eating at restaurants longer than you've been around. When all you find is crap, you stop eating the crap.

Nice try, but run along.

And you're wrong about all fast food places having preformed egg. Go eat at Chick-fil-A. It may be liquid, but at least it's made fresh.

[J7.]

You were trying to argue that KK donuts match the nutritional value of DD donuts, but you didn't take into context that KK are much smaller. Thus, they're less healthy.

[J7.]

Here you continue with statements with no factual data behind them!!!!! WOW. You're 28 years old, lets see that makes you a few months older than me. Keep coming up with fuck 'n statements with no basis to them! :applause:

[ramatut4001]

Krispy Kreme sucks.

Weigh each donut, tell me which is more. My money is on the KK doughnut.

It doesn't matter how big something is when it comes to eating it, it's all about the mass. I've yet to find any info on how much the DDs really weigh.

Also, the new doughnuts aren't trans fat-free, they are simply less than .5g Trans Fat.

[Thomas96]

when I was in high school we had donuts from Velvet Creme (red/white box) similar to KK, but their donuts beat KK and DD hands down.

[shieryda]

The other reason I like DD more is because they are often incorporated into the same building as Baskin Robbins.:drool:

[shieryda]

Its like asking which is better, Steak or a mcdonalds hamburger.

Over 500 billion served must have a different opinion.

[VanillaGorilla]

Why is it that anytime someone makes a thread involving food, there is always one pompous, arrogant food snob who always makes it his mission to let everyone know how STUPID they are for eating that UNHEALTHY GARBAGE! Do you people get some kind of gratification out of constantly whining about calories or fat content?

I'll take Dunkin Donuts, I like their double chocolate donuts, and I can't wait to die of a heart attack because I eat about 6 of them per year.

[paddlefoot]

DD bacon is never as fatty as Mcdonalds.

:roll:

[darkinferno9908]

Depends. If it's any other type of doughnut besides cruellers and glazed then the ball goes to DD BUT if we're talking about glazed then of course it all goes to KK. They're hot, fluffy, and almost orgasmic; it's just the way it works.

[dtcarson]

Glazed, KK, especially "Hot Donuts Now"
Flavors, DD.
KK has a couple good flavors but DD has more that my family likes, plus DD's seem to have more "body" to them if that makes any sense.
For practicality, DD, there's no KK within about a hundred miles of here.

[Killer Rabbit]

KK can't make anything other than simple glazed right, but goshdarnit, they make good glazed donuts. However, the rest of their flavors are merely okay.

DD is the exact opposite. Their glazed are okay, but some of their flavors are excellent.

So, I voted for the Dunkin, for its variety.

[Illini Jeeper]

I'm more of a "bacon, eggs, hash browns" breakfast kind of guy, but on the occasion that I will have donuts, I've found Krispy Kreme to be better.

[Rocko]

Are two people really getting into a heated argument about donuts?

[anomynous]

Are two people really getting into a heated argument about donuts?
yes

[Chris in Cali]

Krispy Kreme is nasty, all their varities taste exactly the same because they are waaaay over sweetend. Every donut from them tastes like it's wet sugar flavored.

[J7.]

I can't weigh KK donuts because they all went out of business around here, and I would not buy one if given the opportunity either. Anyways, given that KK donuts are considered light and airy, more of a pastry, compared to DD more cake like content, I would think that KK donuts weigh less and when comparing the size as well, doubly less.

[J7.]

:roll:
It's not. McD's bacon usually always contains as much fat as it does meat. Maybe you're :roll: because I was talking about bacon in the donut thread, but it was part of the discussion we got into.

52g.

You're still under the misconception that smaller=lighter.

It may be heavier, but we won't know until one gets weighed. I think I was thinking about the Sugar Raised Donut the whole time, though.

What you've brought to the table, on all fronts, is opinion. The donut is heavier, the bacon contains more fat...I'm challenging you to provide any factual basis on which you make your claims. And unless you're a local health inspector, your opinion isn't going to cut it.

I am not under that conception. KK donuts are light and fluffy in content, Dunkin Donuts are cakelike. Thus, KK are more likely to weigh less. I mention size as well because if KK donuts content weighs less AND they are smaller, then that will make them weigh quite less.

You've brought opinion as well throughout the majority of your posts. You expect me to go buy donuts and weigh them or go buy DD and McD sandwiches and cut the fat off the bacon and weigh it as well? Gimme a break lol, that's ridiculous. And anyways in order to make a valid comparison I would have to repeat those tests for a large # of trials. What does being a health inspector have to do with weighing donuts and bacon fat?

[crystalklear64]

To settle this argument, I traveled to both DD and KK and weighed both company's regular, glazed donuts. Using a sample of 200 donuts each, the KK donut weighed about 16 pounds each on average, whereas the DD donuts only weights about 12 pounds each, though they were larger. I have documented proof and the signatures of both bakers and official weightologists to confirm my claims.

[DigitalSpace]

There used to be a few Dunkin Donuts here in Portland, and they all closed shortly before the first Krispy Kreme opened in the area.

Krispy Kremes are good, but overhyped, and Dunkin Donuts blew them out of the water.

Random fun fact: In 1996, a local top 40 station that had interviewed Bob Dole on their morning show talked him into appearing at a local Dunkin Donuts that afternoon (the one near 82nd and Foster, to be specific - the building is some bar/restaurant place now).

[CocheseUGA]

All said and done, you're still buying something that's at least two days old.

[cochesecochese]

Krispy Kreme standards are amazing and I can eat boxes of them in a sitting but their other doughnuts are nothing special.

Dunkin Donuts has much more variety and they're much cheaper. No single dooughnut is as good as KK's standard but the overall lineup is better.

Neither one holds a candle to homemade donuts though (Yeah. I'm that douche.)

[h3llbring3r]

I have both, and guys in case you didn't know NEVER EVER EVAH buy Krispy Kremes outside of a Krispy Kreme store. Wait for the hot donuts now sign.

If you have only had KK from a grocery store then you shouldn't vote.

KK are the king.

[alongx]

Krispy Kremes are way way too sweet.

[paddlefoot]

Krispy Kreme standards are amazing

Especially when it comes to off-balance sheet financing ;)

[MadChedar0]

Tim Horton's for me actually.

[Scrubking]

Wow, I can't believe these are neck and neck. Maybe you guys have good dunkin, but I have yet to eat a dunkin donut that wasn't nasty. KK on the other hand is heavenly sweet, warm, gooey goodness that rolls off that assembly line begging to be devoured.

[zman73]

Krispy Creams make me sick. I'd never had them until I moved to KC. After coming here I spent about 2 years randomly getting ill in the evening. I finally put it together that I was geting sick on days I had Krispy Cream in the morning. So...Duncan Donuts for me (actually no donuts for me but by default DD wins for not making me sick.)

T

Krispy Cream...lol...lol

It depends on the type of doughnut for me, (I grew up around BOTH so unlike alot of posters on here, this isnt some territorial thing)

Glazed and Chocolate iced... KK... by a mile... the chocolate iced are perfection, bought a few a couple weeks ago that apparently been iced as soon as the glazed doughnuts had just finished cooling, they were so fresh...

Most others DD... love chocolate cream filled from them...mmmm... the variey is much better with DD

Too bad the nearest DD is about 3-4 hours away from me these days... the closest I get to DD type doughnuts are from Shipleys

and I agree with the remark about not buying KK's from the grocer, because it is not the same thing when they have sat for a day or 2... shelf life on them is short... the chocolate iced packages in the grocer never look really good, buy direct

[opportunity777]

I like the DD ones better because KK's feels like I'm swallowing donut-shaped ball of sugar. There's too much sweet power there. Maybe they should be used to power starships in space. *There was a reference in the previous sentence, but it's kind of vague, soooo ....

I can eat a lot more DD ones and not feel overwhelmed. They also dunk better in milk.

KK's always leave my hands all nasty.

Either way, I would eat both because I'm a pig, but I like DD better. DD FTW!

[Jewelz23]

Krispy Kreme and its not even close...

[bigdaddy]

neither, I'll take any of the local bakeries over either of the two

Agreed. There are two Donut Places called "Whole Donut" they are good, and everythnig is fresh.

[CrimGhost]

Krispy Kreme, $$$$a!

[J7.]

99 to 99! Come on DD!!!

[hero101]

DD got my vote. Less sugar and better for my waistline.

[Drnick]

Dunkin has WAY better coffee... but if its a purely donut battle... Krispy kreme wins hands down

[Rei no Otaku]

Krispy Kreme. I only had a year with them before they died out in Rhode Island, but I'm loath to return to DD after tasting KK's stuff. I'll miss watching for the free donut light while driving.
Yeah, KK died after like a month in RI. Dunkin Donuts destroyed them, and frankly I can see why. KK's donuts were horrible, and on top of that they made me sick to my stomach.

DD all the way.

[rendil]

Not a fan of either, but KK is waaay too sweet for me, so I gave my vote to DD. But as long as I have a choice, I'll always go to a local shop.

[JolietJake]

Shipley's bitches.

[life.exe]

KK's are sooooo good. Dunkin's are bigger though. DD kinda died where I live, I know of only one DD shop around but we have a KK section in just about every gas station.

[anomynous]

Needs to be revived because of Japanese Krispy Kreme
