ok, i just *have* to throw in here as one of the minority that is totally unimpressed by krispy kremes...
however much of a brand managers dream kk is, im just not down with the corporate donut.
id much rather patronise my local donut artisan than pay for kk's brand identity... :)
for me, in sf, its bob's donuts all the way. mmmmm. had one of their delicious maple buttermilk bars earlier this morning. tasty.
we even have a "rule" at my work that youre not supposed to ride past bob's without getting a donut - and failing to do so will incur a one donut penalty (ie next time by, you have to buy 2 donuts - oh, the humanity...)
