$2.50 for a single shitty doughnut…

[-] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

Better than Dunkin or Tim Hortons. And at least the glazed ones are still made on site.

Someone never gets donuts for their meetings.

[-] Ptsf@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes. Just stop living. It's expensive.

[-] Zirconium@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck you, Krispy creme is shit compared to dunkin

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

Safeway's bakery or the local Korean donut place after easy winners over both, IMO.

[-] jawa22 4 points 2 weeks ago

Dunkin doesn't make donuts, they make small bundt cakes.

[-] head_socj@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

Dunkin can suck my left nut. Those donuts are pure ass.

Everyone in this thread:

There are excellent local donut or pastry shops everywhere.

[-] Ptsf@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Someone doesn't live in rural poor USA addicted to travel money and economically fed by the local McDonald's right off the highway and it shows lol

[-] CabbageRelish@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Eh, “big town” rural rust belt. We’ve got a couple local shops but we’re the largest town for about 40 miles.

[-] Ptsf@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Fair. Ruralish Iowa here. I have a few local myself, which I do love to visit, but when I'm visiting my small town family I'm generally lucky if there's a grocery store within 20 miles that isn't the gas station.

[-] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Facts, I'm waiting for fall to get fresh cider donuts from the local farms and farmers market.

There's a couple local shops for more classic donuts (one has won statewide competitions) but their donuts are a bit overwhelming (v large) for any regularity and of course pricier. Worth it for myself occasionally, but too expensive to justify for coworkers.

Literal overprocessed trash compared to Tim Horton's but US Tims might be lower quality than Canadian.

[-] nave@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

do you think tim hortons makes fresh doughnuts?

[-] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I think they make better doughnuts.

Flavor profile is more balanced. Krispy is way too sweet. Dunkin is pretty bad too.

Havent tried Tims in the US but I imagine it's bad. Have you tried Dunkin or Krispy Kreme? Tim Horton's is far from perfect but guarantee as a Canadian you'll never go back to either unless you have an American sized sweet tooth.

Most Americans I know find Timmies too bland because they're used to being punched in the face with HFCS.

[-] nave@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

I like tim hortons (I’ve only tried the candian ones) but its pretty obvious when you eat them that krispy kreme is a lot more fresh and imo a doughnut needs to be fresh to be really good.

I do agree dunkin is pretty bad tho.

[-] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I agree Tims at the end of the day on a college campus is a bit sus but if both are fresh I prefer Tims. I feel like I'm being orally violated by HCFS with Krispy.

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

You can really tell a person's nature when they say stupid things like this

[-] fubarx@lemmy.world 38 points 2 weeks ago

It's a test. People who order the 3-pack are given applications for management positions.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago

They really don't want you getting 3.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Or, that is the most popular choice for their braindead consumerist customers, so they jacked that price up the most.

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

I am impressed that someone took the time to match the sign placement to the donuts pictured on the sign.

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe they matched the donut placement to the sign. Did you ever think of that?

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Either way, nice attention to detail.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

3 single donuts please.

[-] Tyr_Raidho_Othala@reddthat.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

Upselling technique, and I am instantly sold

[-] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The 12 pack isn't even the best value, the 6 pack is. What is this math lmao

edit: nvm I'm an idiot

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

[6] 13.99/6 = $2.3316666666666666666666666666667 per doughnut

[12] 21.29/12 = $1.7741666666666666666666666666667 per doughnut

Did you accidentally divide by the same number in both cases?

[-] Suburbanl3g3nd@lemmings.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

It also depends on how many doughnuts you want to buy. If I want 12 doughnuts, the 12 pack is the cheapest option.

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

~~True. But the 12 pack is the cheapest option anyway.~~

Nevermind, I got it.

[-] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

I am an idiot. I blame the time, it was 3am.

[-] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Don't forget to add a 30% tip. 🤑

[-] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I went in and bought an assorted dozen the other week. Then as an upsell they asked if I wanted to buy an additional plain dozen. What the actual fuck.
