    John Doe,

    A fresh yeast roll with dripping butter is pretty much orgasmic

    Look into the future...if you carry on eating like that you can kiss goodbye to any sort of orgasm.

    I'm of the firm opinion that it's not what you eat, the secret to health is moderation. Also, getting enough exercise is much more important than diet.

    Okay, confession time.

    So I have a friend who is crazy about Krispy Kremes, but neither of us live near an outlet. So I was returning home from a trip away and I noticed a KK store at the airport. "A-ha!" I thought, "I'll buy just one for myself, and take four home for us to share."

    SO. I bought five and ate one straight away. It was my first Krispy Kreme, don't judge me! Then on the plane flight I decided to crack into number two . . hey it was a long flight. :-) So I got home and realised that the remaining three had gotten squashed in the above head locker. So, I mean, what self respecting friend would hand over squashed doughnuts? And so there is my tale of how I consumed 5 Krispy Kremes in the space of 12 hours.

    Phew, I feel so much better with that off my chest.

    :-) xx

    From a girl who loves her donuts, and has a large one each and every morning, I think it is off of your chest, and plastered somewhere else.

    Good marketing started this off. National television news (can you believe it?) ran a story on the opening of the first outlet a few years ago. Gotta pick you up on one thing Witness 007. You said Aussies aren't big on coffee. Whaatt? This country is swimming in lattes and cappachinos. Where I live there is a barrista pleading with you to taste their wares every couple of metres. Ever been to Sydney airport? There isn't enough coffee outlets so they have stands...

    Doof Daddy.. I agree, Aussies are definitely coffee snobs. Personally I think that's why the big coffee chains don't do that well. The best coffee is made by a good barista in a locally owned cafe, and most of the big chains wouldn't know good coffee if it landed in their lap. haha I'm passionate about good coffee. :-) xxx

    Tim Hortons are much nicer.

    Re: your flight hotchocolate - I once bought a box of a dozen Time Hortons donuts at the airport before flying back to Manchester from Calgary (about 8-9 hours). I skipped all the meals that they offered and had donuts each time instead.

    Boy, you should have seen the jealous faces!

    It tasted to me like warm, sugar-frosted lard.

    Yes, that's about the size of it. I don't like sweet things like that, it has an opposite effect.

    We live in Raleigh, North Carolina, home to the original Krispy Kreme store downtown. When that "Hot Donuts NOW" sign is lit, the line of cars for the drive-through can stretch down the block. If you go inside, the wall to the factory has a window so you can watch the donuts being made. My kids got a kick out of watching those airy puffs travel along the assembly line under a waterfall of pure sugar glazing, after which workers scooped them into boxes and handed them directly to the drive-thru workers.

    I'm not a fan of them myself, but they're a big part of the culture here.
