Dunkins by far! Kripsy Kremes are small and airy and before you know it, you've got 7 in your belly. Go for a robust Dunkin Donut and enjoy!

No - The Krispy Kreme glazed are DELICIOUS!

Having eaten my fair share of Dunkin Donuts, and eating a few Krispy Kremes, I would vote for Dunkin Donuts. I have to agree that the Krispy Kremes are small, light and airy, and you'll probably eat a box full of them, compared to eating a couple of hearty Dunkin Donuts. My favorite are the honey dip or chocolate crullers.

By the way Dunkin Donuts is fazing out the crullers. They weigh more than the other donuts they offer, therefore costing them more, but selling them for the same price, and they want to get rid of the specialize machinery that it takes to twist them.

I really like Dunkin Donuts coffee, but I have to admit that Krispy Kreme's coffee is also very good. Krispy Kreme has gotten a larger market share of the coffee market. I know that there are plenty of Starbucks coffee lovers (there seems to be a Starbucks on every corner), but to me, the coffee tastes burnt.

Easily Krispy Kremes. I grew up on Dunkin Donuts but now side with KK, although I don't eat them much anymore.

Oh, i love Krispy Kreme, they are the best!!

Before you buy and eat that donut take a look at this before you do------- http://vietpage.com/archive_news/pol...t/31/0033.html

Still want a donut???

Calitrav Aug 19th, 2003 07:22 PM

Oh SandyFeet, that is baaaad, but funny as as heck, LOL :-d

When you get a KK be sure the sign outside is on--Hot Now. There is nothing on earth like a KK when the sign is on!! Dunkin Donut you can eat any time--and it is apples and oranges to compare them.

Never been to a Krispy Kreme, but I have to say that I love Dunkin's coffee. I know, I know, there's Starbucks, Java Hut or whatever and I'm sure many more, but I always go to DD for my large, extra cream one sugar. Sooooo good. Donuts aren't bad either.

The Krispy Kreme glazed melt in your mouth! Mmm!

Randa Aug 20th, 2003 04:11 AM

My gosh ... try both!!

Krispy Kremes! They melt in your mouth and are like a cloud!

Krispy Creme for sure, the way a doughnut is supposed to taste... (Maybe I am biased, being from NC, the home of KK)

Dunkin's are good, but more heavy/cake-like to me

No question-Krispy Kreme's-especially, as Gretchen says-when they are hot. We look for them when on vacation because we have no Krispy Kremes in Maine-I think the closest is in Mass. But, as I look at that website from SandyFeet-maybe it is a good thing they are not readily available to me :-)

Gotta go with Krispy Kreams.. Gretchen is right, if the "Hot Donuts" sign is on, there is nothing better to put in our mouth... I am also a big fan of the chocolate covered creme filled.. not very healthy, but really good... Does anyone remember when they had the chocolat covered creme filled with whip cream and a cherry on top.... I remember my dad taking me to Krispy Kreams on sumday mornings and getting me one of those... for a 10 year old, that was heaven... they dont seem to make them any more though

No contest - Krispy Kreme wins hands down.

sojo Aug 20th, 2003 06:37 AM

No question about it, go for Krispy Kreme!! The hot glazed are absolutely heavenly. And I also love their chocolate-iced cream filled (not the pudding filled, but the white cream).

However, I love Dunkin' Donuts coffee! I get a cup every morning.
