Battle of the Donuts: Krispy Kreme VS. Dunkin Donuts

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.
 
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.
 
[quote name='CocheseUGA']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.[/quote]
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.

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

You couldn't pay me to eat there.
 
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!!!

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.

KK? Elitist?

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

In reality, the nutritional qualities are fairly even, minus the Trans Fats.
 
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.
 
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.
 
[quote name='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.[/quote]


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.
 
[quote name='primetime']I think the problem is that there's such a big difference between the two and that causes everybody to polarize.[/quote]

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.

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.'

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.

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.
 
[quote name='CocheseUGA']I make my own. Fresh, natural ingredients FTMFW.[/quote]
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.
 
[quote name='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.[/quote]
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.

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.

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.

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.
 
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.
 
[quote name='musha666']Its like asking which is better, Steak or a mcdonalds hamburger.[/QUOTE]

Over 500 billion served must have a different opinion.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

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.
 
[quote name='paddlefoot']:roll:[/quote]
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?
 
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.

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).
 
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.)
 
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.
