Fill my pocket with crisp $100 notes and I'll fly to Melbourne on your behalf.
I shall beat you to it, kind sir.

Even then it's an unhealthy, occasional treat but not something I'd want to have regularly.
Here's a trip down memory lane - the best donuts I can recall were the fresh hot cinnamon ones from Castle Plaza back in the days of the Arrow Supermarket and the Redapple Restaurant. For hours I'd just stare at the machine plopping out lumps of dough into the hot oil, then travelling along the conveyor belt and into the rotating tray of cinnamon and sugar.

So true. I'm happy we don't have this Americanism in our city. There are far better local donuts around.

Nonsense! Petrochemicals are friends to all. I've never met a petrochemical I didn't like.

I heard on the radio this morning that Krispy Kremes are coming to Adelaide and opening in October. I missed the location. Did anyone else here this?

KK doughnuts taste like poo. I for one am not joining the viral marketing bandwagon they creating with the "you can't come" marketing method (as illustrated in Southpark when Cartman buys a theme park).

So you have tasted poo before to know they taste the same?

KK in Adelaide is not happening. I recieved this confirmation today
"Good Morning,
We have received numerous enquiries this week in regards to this. As previously advised, we do not have any plans to open a store in Adelaide at the moment.
Kind Regards,
Leah Little"

wow, i never understood the obsession with krispy kremes! There is nothing all that special about them imo
Gourmet Glaze however, are amazing. We always make sure that overseas visitors get to try some, and they all love it.
i'm proud of the fact that we don't need to be a bunch of sheep on the KK bandwagon, because we have something far better that is exlusively South Australian.

I have been trying to bring KK to Adelaide for over 2 years!!! The reply that I always received, was that they don't provide franchise opportunities at this stage!! Yeah right!!!
