1. I never found KK donuts all that great.

Too sweet for me and that's saying something. Everyone says you have to eat them while they're still warm from the fryer and I've not done that. I guess I don't even WANT to like them if they're that addicting.

7. Wait for the hot donut light. Bliss.

9. Lol

12. Microwave one for 10 seconds.

They are ok, but in the infrequent times I eat donuts, I get Dunkin or a local choice.

2. Can't blame them for craving Krispy Kremes after years of deprivation having to eat dry scones

For me, no amount of jam makes Irish scones edible compared to a fresh light American doughnut!

5. Dry scones ??? You should try lovely Irish creamery butter.

10. Yum...

13. Hey, I love true scones.

And I'd take a homemade scone over a donut any day. Unfortunately there probably way more fat in scones, so much butter.

3. Flew back from Dublin about a week ago.

That makes me neither cool nor an expert on Irish culture. It just surprises me that KK excites them. They have no shame in loving American-style products, but one thing they do well is the newer-type Gourmet American donuts.

Can't wait to go back, mainly to give some of my new local friends some shit about this.

6. It's just a fad, a few years ago it was Bagel shops, now it's Donut (Doughnut) shops. I've had

Krispy Kreme donuts in Las Vegas, so I think I'll give them a go when I travel up to Dublin next month.

4. I grew up on KK. Eating them hot off the assembly line is better than sex.

When no longer hot, just nuke them in microwave for exactly ten seconds. Yum.

8. Irish People Taste Test American YouTube search. Fun for me to watch

15. Years ago (maybe 20) there were no donuts in england or ireland.

This means we've finally occupied our colonial tyrants!

16. Or just a chance to try something new

when a new place opens up, especially if it is a chain that hasn't been in the region before, there are a few weeks of long lines.

It is just a human thing. The new stuff is exciting!
