No more Krispe Creme eh?

[HEyHEY]

(Krispy-Kreme)
Krispy Kreme could be saying goodbye to Canada.
Less than four years after the American doughnut chain's record-smashing debut into Tim Horton's territory, it is selling its Canadian assets.
Krispy Kreme's first Canadian store, west of Toronto, sold more than 70-thousand dollars worth of donuts on its opening day as customers elbowed each other to get in.
Seven weeks ago its parent company KremeKo, filed for bankruptcy protection. (15)

1. Do you have a link?

Good news as far as I'm concerned...sickly sweet, and I prefer Timmies.

[HEyHEY]

5. No...that's the whole thing - off the wire

[HEyHEY]

The first time I ever Had KK I was Amazed at how good they were

Then, yeah... a couple times after I was like... "ew, it's sugar and dough."

I'm not a Timmy's fan though... robins or robis for me.

2. Canadians watching their diet?

3. They went head to head...

With Tim's. Bad move. No understanding of cultural institutions or bear's claws.

4. i didnt know they had it up there

[getmeouttahere]

6. Tim Horton's is better anyway!

not too sweet, just right. You can't beat a lightly glazed Tim Horton's donut.

[whistle]

8. Do they still have "Spudnut" Donuts in Canada, those were great!

[Hand]

19. Don't think so.

I certainly haven't seen one, anyway. Kind of a bizarre idea, but it did have its day years ago.

Le Chateau Tim pretty much has the mass doughnut market cornered. Unbelievable how many of the damn things there are.

[whistle]

7. Yep, they were not keeping their eye on donut, they were keying

...their eye on the hole!

9. I could never get on the KK bandwagon

and I adore sickly sweet things.
They just taste nasty to me. :shrug:

10. The most over-rated donut on the planet....

as far as I'm concerned. Any local bakery can whip them, hands down.

11. Worst doughnut I ever had

It was a lump of half baked dough caked in sugar. Gross.

12. Good BIG Bush supporter

at Bush's Cornation they had KK stuffed Turkey (from another Bush supporter.

13. I am guessing

that Canada don't have enough police officers to sustain business... :-)

[HEyHEY]

14. I think they have an exclusive deal with Tim Hortons

[achtung_circus]

16. I am now in a position to confirm that. nt

[Spazito]

15. I can say, with all honesty, I have never had a Krispy Kreme

and didn't feel like I was missing anything. I am glad Tim Horton's won the day!

Edited to correct typo

[HEyHEY]

17. Next time you go through Princeton - go to "Cones and dogs"

The guy sells Krispe Creme.
Not under the name, but he buys em "Generic" from the "factory."

Dead serious.

[Spazito]

18. LOL, with all the 'just dough and sickly sweet' comments

I am not sure I want to but I will keep it in mind on my next trip to Vancouver.
