Do The Dance Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 A new Krispy Kreme shop has opened at Hermiston Gait today, drove by earlier on way into HG. Long queue back to the roundabout at end of M8 and large walk in queue as well. They're decent, but will be waiting a few days til the place dies down a bit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craigieboy Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Never tried them though I'm a big donut fan. I'll wait until the excitement dies down and pop along. One guy camped out in a tent last night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcdougg Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 300 people waiting in the snow for it to open this morning. Crazy *******s. Another reason this country will continue to be fat.... Dunkin' Donuts were WAY better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaun.lawson Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Warning: addictive. Very addictive. It can be bizarrely difficult to get a simple Krispy Kreme iced donut with strawberry filling though. Never quite understood why this is TBH. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

2NaFish Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Love krispy kreme donuts. They were doing promo stuff a few months back and handing out dozen boxes at various places. There were thousands lining up around st enoch's square. Doesnt compete with a guy setting up a tent though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough if you're a big fan and are looking forward to having a steady supply in your city. But the folk that have literally never tasted one of them in their life absolutely creaming themselves over this are grade A wallopers. Hate them all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You wouldn't take a date there, no - but they're both decent if you ask me. Such snobs on this thread. Many of whom probably posted some of the most alarming stuff on the Shan thread too.

milky_26 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 i can echo peoples sentiments about people queuing or camping out for (why, really why) for donuts.

It's not the product on offer that's the problem Shaun, it's the sheer blind loyalty that these people have to a brand. Nando's is an average at best chicken joint, but you get plebs making a big deal of it every time they go. "OMGZ Can't wait for NANDOS with MA PAL!" type shite. Same with this Krispy Kreme malarky. The majority of the folk in that queue probably don't even like doughnuts, and even if they do, it's doubtful they have them on even a semi-regular basis. But because it's "Krispy Kreme" and it's new and exclusive, it's suddenly the must have food item. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shut it fatty. In all seriousness, its more like the reasons Roger H Sterling gave. Its the same rimjobs that constantly spout shite about Nandos, KK and those bloody A&F shops. They tend to be complete chav magnets and people bang on about them as though they are amazing. Nandos is utterly shit. You'll never convince me otherwise. The sides are tiny and you have to practically serve yourself. Its less hassle to cook the bloody chicken yourself. Getting your own juice and cutlery? **** off.

Beverley Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Had them in New York an they are lovely but not worth queuing for.

It's all in the marketing. They clearly know their sheep audience. "exactly just"? seems a bit overkill - what else would they be? They're nice donuts. Nicer than the ones you'd get in a supermarket as they're frozen and re-heated. Let people have their fun. It's not hurting you - or did your 'live and let live' diatribe on i8 and religion not have any parallel? "All of that, Roger, and I mean all of it, I agree with. But, that still doesn't answer my question. All you've done is list the absurdities of idiots following fads. Things that we all already know. My point is that, as you say, idiots following fads is so engrained in our society and there's nothing you can do about that, so why not let it go? It's not going to go away. Certainly not in your life time. So why spend so much time fretting over it? If idiots wants to bow down to some donut, let them. That's their prerogative. They're not going to change, you're not going to change. The way they lives their life does not affect how you live yours. It's easier to accept and to tune it out than to bleat on about it."
