i remember, three or four years ago we went down across the border and actually drove out of our way to go try krispy kreme donuts. wow where they ever sweet — in a bad way. but no one could argue that they were pretty good fresh! i could understand what they hype was all about.

then i heard them selling kk donuts at union station for a good cause, and then opening a store in richmond hill, then one at the scarborough town centre, even one in waterloo. i remember eating kk for lunch and getting sick, and then that funny incident for rishi’s bday one year. suffice to say there were a lot of kk moments because everyone thought that they were special and exclusive. well they’re not, they even sell them at walmart now.

kk has kinda dropped off my radar the last year or so, and apparently on most people’s radar because krispy kreme are on the verge of bankruptcy. turns out that bad corporate governance and plain old greediness could turn all that hype into a lot of hot (but sweet smelling) air.
