Was there cocaine in the donuts?

Some studies suggest dophamine release from sugar, is upto x8 more addictive than many other white powders.

Also, you didn't answer my question. What if I want to buy a box of cakes for my family or workmates? Should that not be permitted?

It should, but there is no need for these places.

I wish you wouldn't bandy the word diabetes around like that . I have two young members of my family who are Type 1 diabetic . One diagnosed in her teens and one aged 5 . Nothing at all to do with donuts but with their own immune system . If you want to make silly points then at least get your terms and facts straight

When did I say a high sugar intake was the sole cause of diabetes? Or are you just looking to be offended?

Is the donuts craze still alive and to wonder why obesity and diabetes is high in Ireland

I was in busy Glasgow Airport last week and was the only one standing at the Krispy Kreme donuts kiosk. Got coffee and a pleasant but not extraordinary donut. Absolutely zero fuss there, but the Scots aren’t known to be over-consumist.

The cronut from the halo donut range in Tesco is the nicest doughnut I've ever had.

I also enjoy the toffee yum yum in Lidl. I would like to try a krispy kreme cronut if they do them. I probably won't ever taste them though.

Struggling with the concept of Irish people queuing for donuts at all hours of the night.

It’s that peculiar Irish phenomenon of ‘ahshuryehavta’. It’s the dopey cousin of ‘for the craic’.

I struggle with the concept of Irish people queuing for a lot of things. Its like we keep failing to move on from the poor days and insist on acting like eejits with our money every time something new presents itself, especially food. I remember morons queuing outside so many ordinary and average food places since the mid 90s. Its like the famine and the workhouse is ingrained in us. The only difference is we now spend our money on it.

Jesus Christ lads, it's doughnuts we're talking about, a couple of euro. You're all getting your knickers in a twist with your rants about the boom and people and their money.

Well we'll just put it down to rampant and stupid consumerism so, with added anti social activity. Sure it'll be grand and great craic.

Was this in Blanchardstown? I was there about a week ago, total madness. Not a parking space anywhere, traffic utterly mental, temporary barriers everywhere, queues a mile long outside the new Krispy Kreme. Seriously? It's a bleedin' donut shop? How the hell ...

facehugger99

Are they all beeping their horns so that we’ll know they’re stupid?

It’s ok guys, we know.

One thing is for certain-Krispy Kreme have conjured up a frenzy of publicity for themselves, advertising such as I’ve not heard one other good product get in such short a time. On virtually all the national broadcaster and rival broadcaster radio programs, on all the social media, and now here on Boards. All stirring up a frenzy of free advertising, a marketer’s dream. The whole darned nation has heard of KK and very many will at least try the product when next encountered even if not blowing horns during 3am queues.

For me the name Krispy Kreme conjured up exquisite taste and texture sensations. Waiting for an airplane at Glasgow, when I first encountered the name, their little kiosk promised what it didn’t quite deliver.

A friend brought me over a box of random dohnuts from Krispy Kreme. I didn't enjoy them, just the same as any other of the too many dohnuts shops in Dublin.

I find it rather pathetic that people queue up and get dohnut rage. Morons.

They're perfectly free to enjoy the dohnut. But queing up for 30 minutes or more and getting into a rage is just pathetic. Like I said, I already had some(friend gave me them) and it was just another dohnut.

Unless I missed another video, they weren't beeping their horns in rage.

WOW! You go grandeod!

Queuing reminds me of the War and rationing. Hours in line for basic foods and often disappointed. I keep wondering if this doughnut thing is false news, as it is so utterly *****************

The only stuff I'd beep the horn for would be a good feed of bacon and cabbage.
And if the white sauce is poured over the floury spuds, I'd be in danger of setting off the airbag.

What other 24/7 stores is he on about? There are no other 24/7 stores in the area.

It's marketing, people would queue up to see a lump of dogshit if it were marketed correctly.

In fact, I've been fascinating by the psychology of queing, I see queues that are really long (> 1 hr wait) for really mediocre at best services.
I think when people see a queue they don't care what it is, it must be good ... so they join.

I'm obviously talking about queing for food,rides (park rides!!) etc ... not for concert tickets and or big investments.

I'd love to get a bunch of volunteers to just form a queue and when asked what they are queing for to say "just to view a famous lump of dog****" - still think people would join ...

Could well be something to do with 'Scarcity Mentality'. Brands have no problem taking advantage of this. Remember Google+, wich was started by 'invite only' back in 2011. It isn't really relevant any longer.

Staryucks also do 'limited edition' slosh now and again, and Groupon is based around time and access limitations.

Then there is crowd behaviour, about 10 people standing on a couple of street corners pointing to nothing the sky might evoke ten times as many to do the same, or at least stop and look up. If a couple start yawning loudly others will also follow that behaviour.

It was very common in the east Berlin before the wall came down . A queue would form at an outlet . No one knew what was on offer , it could be a navy knitted jumper or a kitchen utensil or whatever . They would queue for hours and their theory was even if I don't need it someone will and I can swap it

How much are the donuts?

I picked up two boxes on the way to work yesterday morning. They were €24.95 in total for a box containing a various selection of 12 donuts and a second box of original glazed donuts.

The selection were €16.95 on their own. Individual donuts were approx €2.50 each. There were two cars in front of me and none behind when I was there. My work colleagues were delighted!

That’s actually a hell of a lot better value than I thought they would be

It's the same as the bread during the snow thing. It's a fad that a pile of idiots are jumping in on and thinking it's a deadly laugh because they're completely bored.

I see they're closing the 24 hour drive-through. They'll probably reopen it again in six months time when the morons have moved onto something else.

Totally agree. Some people are incredibly suggestible and will jump on any bandwagon going. The people who need to 'get a life' are not the residents understandably annoyed about the racket and traffic issues, but the idiots who have to be part of any new phase or trend, regardless of what it is or how pointless it is.

I told one of my Canadian family about this and she understood perfectly why folk had gone crazy over these famous donuts, and then reminded me of the time when she was over here and saw a sign TIM HORTON and insisted we stopped.

She hated Irish doughnuts... loves Krispy Kreme.. knew when she saw the Tim Horton sign they would be good

I don't get it at all. Have had them over the years while working in the US numerous times. They're nothing special at all and definitely nothing better than what could already be got in numerous places in Dublin. Will die down soon enough and the place will close when the next American bollox gets dangled in front of people.

It's deep-fried bread filled with cream and covered in sugar. What you can do with it is very limited.

Aside from freshness, I've never found any reason to favour one type over another.

I think it's pretty much the same as the "Five Guys" thing. Like the US, we've a pretty immature palate in Ireland. So anything which differs even slightly away from "crap food" is applauded. In other countries with more mature palates, stuff like Tim Hortons, krispy kreme and five guys is absolute dirt, bottom of the barrel cheap crap.

We have a legitimate excuse; until 30 years ago meat and seasonal veg was standard. Pasta or rice was considered "exotic". I'm not sure what excuse Americans have though.

"Doughnut fans queue for EIGHT hours as Glasgow Krispy Kreme store officially opens"

There's similar stories from openings in other countries/cities...it's still idiotic all the same.
