Meijer #11 in Grand Rapids had FANTASTIC doughnuts when I was growing up. Now they're not good at all. Dry and the frosting is runny as hell.

On the bright side though, there are quite a few areas this side of MI that still have small mom&pop places, and they're usually wicked busy. Shucks, there's one that has a hymn sing on Friday mornings and that sucker is out the door busy. Pretty sweet.

I havent been to a Duck Donut in a long time. Then, they only made ONE type of donut, just put different toppings on it. A good donut, but not what I want. Is it still the same?

I wondered why their doughnuts taste like something you'd buy in a package at a 7-11. That's a shame.

I agree on Krispy Kreme. Much, much better.

Best donuts and patries I've ever had were at the Sanitary Bakery in Nanticoke, PA http://www.sanitarybakery.com/

I've made trips up there specifically for donuts (300 miles each way) They also ship, which is good, but not the same.

Never understood the fascination with cake donuts; If I want cake - I'll buy a cake.

Donuts should be Krispy Kreme style and should be warm and droopey and covered in glaze

He should have just told the Starbucks barista, “Okay, start ‘er up. I’ll bring in my cardboard shelter and homeless buddies and wait, then hang out in here for a few hours.”

Schnucks, the local grocery store, makes great donuts...




"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Wife and I were just discussing this and allowed as how the doughnuts we'd purchased this morning weren't very good.

I mentioned to her "Y'know they're dropping the 'Donuts' from 'Dunkin' Donuts." "What will people be dunkin', then?" she asked. "No clue," I answered.

I've never understood why companies' first responses to declining sales nearly always seems to be to decrease their products' value propositions

This would make at least the second time in a row we've been disappointed. There's a distinct possibility they won't get a third chance.

They have


No

Doughnuts.


At a Dunkin Donuts

On national doughnut day


Now before you think, well, maybe they were all sold out

Alas, no. I arrived shortly after they opened at 5am and was told by the poor lass behind the counter that they just didn’t have any and she didn’t know why

To which I responded...”so, today, I guess you’re just Dunkin”



She didn’t get it



HAPPY DOUGHNUT DAY EVERYBODY


Thats why she works at Dunkin Donuts and not at another firm that requires an ounce of smarts. If not at DD, she would be the french dry girl at a local burger joint.

Haven't been in one in years, but Wall Street is liking whatever they are doing. Their stock is near an all-time high.

Duck donuts is not only local, but is barely 1000 yards from my front door


See, within a year friends would be pushing me in a wheelbarrow through the front door. Year two, they would be rolling me like an enormous beach ball. Year three... there would be no year three. At the end of year two, there would be a huge, hideous spontaneous bursting inside the donut parlor as I ramrodded one final maple sugar delight down my craw, splattering the walls with stuff that looked like frosting and sprinkles, in gobs of doughy goo.


Sir, it's just a tiny thin donut.

Dunkin Donuts went downhill when they started listing the calories of each donut next to the name.

I know donuts are not good for me. The few times I want one I don't need to be reminded I just ate 700 calories with two donuts.

You know the ones - with legit, made daily donuts - not the mass produced ones.

Mmmmmm gooooood....


If you ever find yourself in Maryland, Carlsons Donuts are the best. It is located near BWI Airport. You have to get there early because they run out of donuts by 10 a.m..
