Some club that is trying to raise money for itself brought Krispe Kreme donuts to campus this Tuesday to sell. I've heard lots of really good things about these donuts, including that they taste so good that someone who's only had other donuts can't imagine. That people line up to buy them. So I bought one. This is all I can say about the experience:
delicate toroid pastry + a full 1/4 inch of solid sugar glaze over the whole thing = poor taste-decision!
Jess, who comes from a Krispe Kreme producing state, seemed not to be bothered by the painful amounts of sugar-glaze and insisted that they were delicious. Furthermore, I think she said none of them come unglazed. That is too bad, since the base donut underneath was extraordinarily light, and probably would have been delicious if there had been even a square inch exposed thru the heavy glaze.

In related topic, I bought about 8 different types of nutrition bar things from the C-store and will be taste-testing them as a way to use up points. So far, I have eaten only the "Meta-RX" bar. It claims to be cookie-dough flavored, and has about 300 calories per bar. I really liked the texture -- perfect for chewing!
Next up is the carrot-cake flavor of "Cliff Bar." I am excited to try this one, since I like carrot cake a lot. Before I squished the thing flat in my bookbag, it also had an enticing texture.
UPDATE ---Wow!! It smells really good! And tastes pretty nummy, too. :-) 240 cal.
[4/08/03] Tried the Chocolate Peppermint Stick "LUNA" bar, and in a genuine "eaten while walking between classes" situation. This is a meal-bar that I would eat again. 180 cal, a buncha vitamins & minerals, not too dry, and it tastes like what it claims to. Must be chewed with a chomping action (my least favorite feature of nutrition-bars); no discrete consumtion possible

i too, have tried a krispy kreme donut. they taste good, similar to dunkin donuts if you asked me, so i don't really understand the hype either.

you can never truly experience a krispy kreme donut unless you have one fresh and hot out of the oven. if you are ever in a state that sells them and happen upon a krispy kreme bakery where they make the donuts there FRESH you will understand the hype. my cousin once told me that a hot krispy kreme donut melts in your mouth, i didnt believe him until i tried a hot krispy kreme. THEY REALLY DO MELT IN YOUR MOUTH! :)
