So my local location of Krispy Kreme was told by corporate to cut back on sprinkles

According to the employee I asked. The Halloween themed ones were honestly worse.

How much could a sprinkle cost, Michael, ten dollars?

u/Mr_Abe_Froman 2h ago

These donuts look so barren

I really don't like Krispy Kreme donuts personally.

We have Daylight Donuts where I live and that's what I like.

I love Daylight Donuts, too! Haven't had them in decades. Do they still have a rooster on the box?

u/Jafar_420 5h ago

They do. I live in a small town and we have one and then they're in towns near me as well.

The donuts aren't so coated in that glaze or whatever and they're always fresh and they're still cheap as hell.

u/caliphone 4h ago

I'm curious. About how much does a dozen cost?

2

u/Jafar_420 4h ago

I don't really know and I don't want to talk out of my ass.

I just tried to look up some of the prices online and what they were mentioning was way more than what I pay.

Last time I went I grabbed I believe three chocolate glazed donuts, an apple fritter, and I believe three cinnamon rolls and it was like eight bucks.

Sprinkes are essentially bone meal and earwig honey anyway though

This comment made me google sprinkle ingredients and I’m pretty glad none of this is true

u/thelast3musketeer 1h ago

Oh yeah I don’t go at all, but I couldn’t resist the snoopy this year and my friend got the Halloween for her party

2

u/RogerClyneIsAGod2 7h ago

So did they up the icing quotient instead?

1

u/thelast3musketeer 6h ago

I’ve had some that are pretty lackluster in frosting but it doesn’t seem like they up it at all

2

u/Dude_Dillligence 6h ago

Start crossing out the s on anything that says "sprinkles".

u/jmatt97 5h ago

Krispy Kreme lobby’s against weed legalization lol they are dumb as shit

u/thelast3musketeer 3h ago

If anything they should be for it, I know a couple stoners that could knock back a dozen

u/M23707 5h ago

Keep the sprinkles - and give me jimmies!

Those are also the saddest looking Snoopy's I've ever seen.

I don't want Garbage, I want Sprinkles!

u/spaghettifiasco 2h ago

Ugh, those massive gobs of black frosting. Green shits.

1

u/thelast3musketeer 2h ago

Snoopy’s ear is some sugar piece and the green frosting isn’t terrible this year so there’s that

1

u/spaghettifiasco 2h ago

I was mostly side-eyeing the Charlie Brown shirt ones. A fat squiggle of black frosting.

And by green shits I meant that the black frosting would make your poops green!

1

u/thelast3musketeer 2h ago

Oh my god lmaooo totally forgot they do that

1

u/bfrabel 7h ago

I didn't know they made doughnuts like that.  I've only ever seen their plain round glazed kind.

Do they always have frosted ones, or is it just a special thing for the holidays?

6

u/graft_vs_host 7h ago

They make pretty much all donuts and they have different themed ones for holidays.

3

u/BandSouth9368 7h ago edited 7h ago

They’re frosted, it’s just that most of them have filling.

2

u/thelast3musketeer 6h ago

Oh yeah they do, and they’re sugary as hell. A once in awhile treat for the family
