Pancho of SuperLake stopped early this morning at the newly opened Krispy Kreme store in the upscale mall in Zapopan. He brought back several dozen for resale - they are on a table behind the checkouts. But hurry - there aren't many!

Krispy Kreme upscale? That's like saying the Beverly Hillbillies are members of the House of Lords.

First Wal-Mart,now Krispy Kreme. It's amazing the level of culture at Laekeside.

Shows your level of sophistication and culture as well. First, it's spelled Lakeside. Second, there was no mention that KK was upscale; just that it was located in the upscale shopping plaza. Maybe you should get out more and mingle with the people. KK is positioning itself in Mexico as a better (aka more upscale) doughnut maker than Dunkin' Donuts, which is coupled many times with Dolphy's Ice Cream.

Additionally, if you lived, worked, and associated with the local population you would find that Walmart is considered to be upscale merchandise. Granted, not Liverpool or F de F, but more upscale than the norm.

ofercrissakes ............

did y'all think, years ago ........

................ while you were saving and planning for retirement,

............that what you what you were saving and planning for



..................was to end up on a freaking webboard arguing about whether or not Krispy Kreme donuts were or were not UPSCALE??

As my dear sweet mammy would say... “Honey chile, why don’t you go outside and take a flying F%@K at a rolling doughnut”.

I would think that KKs would be a definite upgrade to the donuts available here. I don’t see how a donut would indicate culture one way or the other. The recipe for KKs was bought from a riverboat cook and the rest is donut history. I always thought they were the best I had ever tasted, even better than my sainted Moms.

no KK donut will ever be better then a nice warm tachigual bread with hot chocolate.....

I'm with you honey...

I am at the beach....but I will return tomorrow just for a box. Save me some. Now I know I really live in Paradise. If only a Taco Bell. I will be in Heaven.

Krispy Kremes. Wow!

Gotta love that Pancho, sure knows how to merchandise. Betcha he sold then all at twice the price too.

Precisely. Now we'll move on to the health hazards of refined sugar and flour combined with fat. IMO much worse than cigarettes. A Fast food diet, high in the aforementioned ingredients, contributes to Alzheimers apparently.

Harrumph! Once you have had LaMar's donuts, KK are just another chunk of dough. And not worth the extra dough. (Pun intended)

Mntnmama - once upon a time - long ago - when my kids were just little bitty, I lived off McGee St. in KCMO. Original home of Lamar's Donuts. Every Sunday morning, out the back door we went to get donut holes and a paper - back home to feast and read the funnies. Those were the days....

And why not - he was there really early (he showed me the receipt) and there's no way most of us would want to battle the traffic over to Zapopan and the traffic mess around that new mall - he shows lots of initiative. However, I managed to leave the store without buying any - but - it was really hard. He said there were lines at the Krispy Kreme store.

And hopefully we all consider the source when a post like this one appears. Anyone smell gasoline?

I'm not a donut eater but my wife says that the donuts at Wally World for @ .23USD are really good. I imagine Pancho will sell Crispy Cremes for what? 20pesos each?

Yeah, and the dumb gringos will buy them from Pancho, like they buy everything else that's overpriced.

I have not had a KK, but a few people have told me they can't compare to Dunkin' Donuts. DD originated in Mass where I'm from. I remember them 50 + years ago.

If he could just get some of the sour dough doughnuts, I`d pay double the price gladly.

You've never had a Krispy Kreme have you John?

bournemouth - If you read my post, I said I have not eaten a KK donut.

Then don't tell us Dunkin Donuts are best if you haven't tried a Krispy Kreme.

......... so many lists to make, so little time .......

Be patient, bournemouth, all we can do is sit and wait!

but what did your physical therapist say? that's the final word on everything

Oh, if KK is the best, why is DD so famous all over North America. I'm surprised KK is still in business. There are'nt any KK donut shops on the East Coast as far as I know.

Again, you have apparently never eaten a Krispy Kreme. KK, not KKK, was a Southern treat that literally would melt in your mouth. I grew up on Duncan’s and Shipley’s but once I tasted a KK I was hooked. It does seem that lately the recipe has changed, as they don’t seem to have the same melt in your mouth properties that they used to. They may not be sold on the East Coast as I am sure they would never be cultured enough to make it there. I am especially fond of them as I bought the IPO and can say, “I did make a killing on that deal”. Living in an area where Kreme was king and the rest of the country not knowing about them, I reasoned that once other people got a taste this could be the best thing since sliced bread.

Oh God, now I am wondering how many donut shops there could possibly be.

" I am especially fond of them as I bought the IPO and can say, “I did make a killing on that deal”. "

What a hoot, we did the same with "Viagra"(sp?), KK, pretty much the same, No?

No. The donuts are soft.

Just to update everyone that might be interested, Yes there are Krispy Kreme's located in Masssachusetts now....and other parts of the East Coast!!

I guess my thoughts were along the line of making money on things that aren’t necessarily good for all concerned, however you get my laugh.

I guess you haven't spent much time in Canada. There are more donut shops there than anywhere else in the world. Tim Hortons on every corner, Country style every few blocks, Dunkin donuts etc etc.

There are Krispy Kreme shops in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, DC, Maryland, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia and Florida.

Never saw a KK in Massachusetts. I was in Montreal and Toronto 3 years ago and never saw a KK donut shop. Tim Horton's in Canada, yes. Went to one in Vancouver this year looking for breakfast and walked out. A nothing place because I like full breakfasts.

YES, YES,YES.

YES, YES,YES. Get a life, Please.

They came to Mass. about two and a half years ago, they were a huge hit, then died down, the company itself has really gone down the tubes on the stock exchange. DD still rules.

RayS - I have not been back to visit in Mass for about 5 years, that's why I didn't know about KK in Mass. There are DD shops everywhere in Mass. They originated in Randolph, Mass.

I been readin what you people say for a long time and now we live here. Like most of you people I like cheap stuff too. Where can I buy some real cheap doughnuts?

Different tastes for different folks. But to the other part of your question, why did VHS win the format wars when BetaMax was far superior? Marketing.

The last Dunkin donut I had was absolutely tasteless. I could have chewed the paper wrapper and it would have tasted better. They were good 35 years ago in Dallas; now they're terrible.

John, I think I would be much simpler if you could provide a list of places you have never been, things you haven’t seen or tasted, but don’t like, that would allow us mortals to adjust our posts to seem more intelligent while responding to the things that you don’t know about.

No. The donuts are soft.

Sharpie, but what about the crullers?

We never ate one in the states, why would we eat one here?

TrailerTrash - You can buy cheap donuts at either sorriana or Walmart and they're not bad, but they're not Dunkin' Donuts or KK.

No, I haven’t spent much time there; it’s north of the US right? I am curious about Tim Hortons though as I never heard the place badmouthed by any Canadian.

Donuts are as far as I am going with this.

One what Julie? Are you back on “the sauce”?

Are you people going to make 5 pages out of a dumb discussion of Donuts. Enough is enough. Get a life.

That is about enough, Johnboy. You're picking on Tim Horton, you're walking on the fighting side of me. Has Dunkin ever scored an overtime goal? Has Krispy ever taken anyone into the boards? They don't even know how to play hockey. I rest my case. Timmy rules. Case closed. I win.

MODERATOR, please close this thread. -sc

AMEN!!!
