Dunkin is out, Krispy Kreme<\/font><\/a> is in!\u00c2\u00a0 Welcome the new era of donuts.. I remember back in my high school days in Las Pinas, my friends and I used to hang out at the local Dunkin Donuts<\/font><\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 We used to call it D2<\/sup> (read D-squared).\u00c2\u00a0 We were nerds like that.\u00c2\u00a0 We shared a lot of fun times there.\u00c2\u00a0 And even just watching my friend Mickey eat a whole box of munchkins (the little donut middles; I don’t know what they’re called, I just always called them munchkins).\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t even know if they make those anymore. <\/a> Anyway, Brian and I will just have serious donut cravings from time to time and the generic grocery store variety ain’t cuttin’ it anymore so we had to look for a good donut place.\u00c2\u00a0 Did you know that all the Dunkin Donuts<\/font><\/a> in town have vanished?\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know what is up with that..\u00c2\u00a0 I didn’t think they were that bad.\u00c2\u00a0 But I guess Krispy Kreme<\/font><\/a> has ushered in a new era of donuts.\u00c2\u00a0 Shoot we really didn’t care where we got our kicks but I gotta admit Krispy Kreme<\/font><\/a> has a lot of plusses. First off, the best time to go is right when they close (they used to be open 24 hours but I guess they didn’t find that profitable), from 10:30 to 11:00 PM.\u00c2\u00a0 Brian and I have found the few times that we’ve gone around this time that the red sign outside has been lit.\u00c2\u00a0 You know what that means.\u00c2\u00a0 Free donuts baby!\u00c2\u00a0 Well they give you a free glazed donut (pictured left) anyway.\u00c2\u00a0 Last night we had talked about just going through the drive-thru but when we got there the sign was lit and Brian got all excited.\u00c2\u00a0 He goes, let’s go in!\u00c2\u00a0 I gave in.\u00c2\u00a0 Who cared if I looked like crap from hanging out at the house all evening?\u00c2\u00a0 Free donuts is free donuts. Their store is actually pretty neat.\u00c2\u00a0 Brian and I discussed actually bringing our camera to take pictures next time we go.\u00c2\u00a0 Yeah, we’re real nerds like that.\u00c2\u00a0 But it’s so cool.\u00c2\u00a0 Have you ever seen a donut being manufactured before?\u00c2\u00a0 It’s really neat!\u00c2\u00a0 You get to watch everything right there as it happens. And then of course their donuts are the best!\u00c2\u00a0 When they opened their first store in town there were lines out the wazoo and I didn’t know what the fuss was all about.\u00c2\u00a0 To me, donuts were pretty much all the same.\u00c2\u00a0 But then I had their donuts, which are just melt-in-your-mouth (literally) delicious!\u00c2\u00a0 I was hooked ever since.\u00c2\u00a0 Our favorite is the chocolate-glazed custard-filled variety, shown right.\u00c2\u00a0 Brian and I are so compatible we even like the same kind of donut.\u00c2\u00a0 They have lots of other great flavors but this is the one that we always order.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ll eat the free donut of course but we only buy the chocolate-glazed custard-filled kind. So anyway, I had a couple of donuts last night and another two this morning for breakfast (if you want to know how much damage that’s done, check out the Krispy Kreme nutritional fact sheet<\/font><\/a> and feel sorry for me).\u00c2\u00a0 I didn’t work out at all this week like I was supposed to so you’ll probably hear me whine about being fat for the next few days.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll try not to blog about it but I’m not making any guarantees!<\/p>\n
