5 Simple Reasons Why I Don't Like Krispy Kreme

I mentioned HERE earlier that I am a Krispy Kreme virgin. Actually, I never tasted them in my entire life until a couple of weeks ago when hubby came with this lovely box of doughnuts from his brother's girlfriend.




There are a number of reasons why I don't like these sugar-coated treats while most of the people that I know adore them. In my opinion, they're very lovely to look at. However, the taste and texture are not really unforgettable.

Big thanks to my brother-in-law's girlfriend. I appreciate the gesture, so I hope you won't hit me after reading this. My eyes truly glowed seeing the gorgeous presentation of these donuts, but to be honest, I was disappointed after the first bite.


Here's an enumeration of the specific reasons why I consider myself not a big fan of Krispy Kreme:

1. Their version of my favorite donut flavor (chocolate) is not that soft nor chewy just like Mister Donut's.
2. Similar to Country Style Donuts, KK is loaded with too much sugar, and even worse.
3. KK donuts are expensive.
4. Unlike Mister Donut or Dunkin Donut, Krispy Kreme hava limited number of stores in the Philippines.
5. I don't think donuts like KK are healthy. I have history of diabetes, so I need to limit myself from eating sweets.

At home, I am not the only person who doesn't enjoy KK donuts. We all don't like them. In fact, the half-dozen in the photo waited over 4 days in the fridge. We were pushing ourselves to eat them like birds. We divided them into small pieces to get rid of the super sugary parts. Then, the last piece sadly landed in the trash.

This entry is not written to discourage fans of Krispy Kreme to stop buying. This is just my personal thoughts of the subject. Wink*

  2. eh? Krispy Kreme's are not crispy their so chewy soft inside and out....Maybe the toppings are crispy...And I think all donuts are not healthy! because of its sugar content... the difference of kk donuts to others are:
    kk donuts has their sugar outside the bread (no sugar on dough)and the local donuts are inside which mix with the dough....they all have the same sugar content which is minimum of 28grams per donut...and 4grams of sugar is equivalent to 1 tsp. of sugar... ahihihi...must avoid donut right???

  4. @Maritess: She was very understanding about it 'cos her family also deals with diabetes.

    @Eun Ae: I had to edit and be specific with my post because of you. Haha. Thanks for the info, though. So wow! I guess, we can just eat donuts every once in a while.

    @Clarissa: I also <3 Mister Donut. For me, they taste just right. Not too sweet kasi.

  6. I love doughnuts. So very much :)
    The bad thing about KK are that it is very high cholesterol and sugar. The amount of eggs they use to make the bread that good is enough to last you for one week... remember, we can't eat that much eggs. Also, it's too expensive for a doughnut.

    My favorite brand is the Dunkin Donuts brand. Buti na lang dito sa atin, hindi considered high-end ang DD. Pero sa States, considered expensive ang DD. Ultimate favorite ko is the Boston Creme and Boston Crunch ng DD. Haaay! naglalaway na naman ako dito.

    I like the twisted doughnut of Mr.Donuts naman. Everytime na may road trip to the province, kelangan ko talaga bumili sa Select ng Mister Donuts :)
