Dunkin Donuts Vs. Krispy Kreme

I got the idea to write about this because I heard the Donut guy died. You know that little man with the mustache who said, "Gotta make the donuts." Some pretty memorable ads from the eighties. Although I was a child there are three ads that really stick out from the eighties. The donut guy. The 'where's the beef' lady. And of course that teddy bear from the downy commericials. Don't know why these are so memorable, but they are. Pretty amazing you remember an ad from so long ago. But let's bring this back to donuts. It's too bad the donut guy died. This brings us to the more important topic: Who has a better product, Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts.

Krispy Kreme's have exploded in Starbucks fashion all over the country. Four years ago if one opened up people waited in an hour line for donuts. An hour! The donuts are good, but not worth the hour wait. I'll go to the grocery store and wait fifteen seconds to eat a gut bomb.

Krispy Kreme's claim to fame is their glazed donut. Since glazed donuts suck, Krispy Kreme sucks. It's that simple. Make a complicated donut then give me call. Sure they make a couple different varieties, but nothing like the Double D of Donuts.

Donuts are donuts. Well that's true. But in order to have a truely great donut you need some great coffee. And that's where Dunkin Donuts takes things to the next level. Their coffee is second to none in the donut business.

About three years ago industry writers for brands and finance were laughing at how KK was taking it to DD. I love that DD is still performing, trancends fads and is sticking it to KK.

Jon, you can't deny the elegant beauty of a glazed donut, can you? CAN YOU!?!?!?

I'll eat a glazed donut, but it can be a dunkin. I'm not picky when it comes to donuts. With that said I will not wait in line when it comes to donuts.
