So who's gonna be grabbing it tomorrow? what flavor?

teq suggests the mall will be packed to the brim with people keen to get their krispy kreme on.

I don't know if they're doing a midnight launch tonight? I've already got a list of what I want in my mind. apparently I will have to wait until lunch time to go down because I wont have time to go there on my way to work.

Also I'm feeling hungry

*COUGH*

I have a mate who brings me back them every time he is in Sydney. The first one is great and by the time I hit the 6th I feel utterly sick.

I will keep them as novelties and wait for people to bring them to me from interstate. Then again, if they are in Brisbane now, maybe they won't?

Either way, I wouldn't pay for one, what a rip off.

no

...you can eat 6 KKs in a row without dying? I feel sick after 1, but usually force myself to eat 2

No, not in a row. That is usually the next day or so. Just after I have 6 (in say a month) my body shuts down - but they are there and I need to eat them

this is awesome. i no longer will be forced to bring up multiple boxes of donuts when i fly up to brisbane.

sif you would anyway.

some fat chick said to me some s*** about it being a duty of people who travel from sydney to brisbane to bring with them these donuts.

lol but she was fat...

this is awesome. i no longer will be forced to bring up multiple boxes of donuts when i fly up to brisbane.

it is awesome

not only will the donuts you bring when you come up to brisbane be a lot better tasting cos they're not soaking up the mexican air, but they'll be fresher as well cos you'll have picked them up in brisbane instead of sydney a couple of hours earlier

yeah wtf, when I was walking past there this morning there was 2 dudes lined up with chairs with something like "I was the one of the first to have a krispy kreme" written on the back.

How pathetic must your life be to line up for a f***ing doughnut?

Yep saw them today... they were chilling with a meal and laptop :)

Someone was saying some dealo about the first 10 people or something get free Krispy Kreme for a year... they did that with Fantasy Donuts (same company apparently?)... that may be while they're lining up.

haha, i want to fly up with some KK and eat them in front of them but I won't be going to brisbane till next week.

at their prices, free donuts for a year would effectively make you a millionaire.

if you ate 1000 a day... but I guess they'd impose some telstra like limit on it.

"free donuts for a year... you just have to make this one donut last that long, we've even licked the icing off the top for you"

krappy kreme more like it...

free doughnuts to them would be piss all
the markup is ridiculous, can you see any of their doughnuts costing more than about 50c to make?

even for the expensive ones which go for $3~ each, thats a 600% markup

also, did anyone get that this is a serious parody thread ala the "GTA IV tomorrow" ? :/

I do, now that you mentioned it

jolly good show

golden ticket for the first person through the door..which will entitle you to a years worth of free KK..

KK's are awesome.. but only one in a long period of time which is why I liked bringing them back from Melb/Syd. No point now though.

So... odds on the KK at Sydney Airport shutting down?

fat c***s ITT

thats only a 500% markup :D

They had the noob on the news just before, first person in gets free KK for a year.

He's not even fat... very pointless.

Room for improvement

can't be any worse than lining up for a harry potter book or any other unlimited product THAT I HAVE TO GET ON THE FIRST DAY IT COMES OUT ZOMG

So... odds on the KK at Sydney Airport shutting down?

maybe the one inside the terminal, but the one outside is the main distributor for all the little KKs in shopping centres that don't make their own.

Dreamy Donuts > Krispy Kreme

^^ lol

Dreamy Donuts > Krispy Kreme

A family friend owns a franchise, they're going under unfortunately... his store is essentially taken over by headquarters (not sure how that works, they try to help you) and they're trying to salvage/sell his $400k investment for him, they're good as dead.

Why would you buy f***ing donuts when you could easily afford a couple meals at a nice restaurant like II by saving the money you might spend getting a donut or two each week. You all suck total and complete s***.

Why not buy meals at a nice restaurant AND donuts?

Because most of the people on this forum would claim that nice restaurants are too expensive...

now with Krispy Kreme, Dreamy Donuts is f***ed. Remember the last couple of donut franchises that started? Dunkin Donuts ?, and uh some other one that was in the Myer Center. Both f***ed.

Wait... you Canadians only just got Krispy Kreme up there?

Ah well. You'll get over them in about a month.

i had a krispy kreme donut when over in oxford. it was filled with some cappuccino sauce. f*** it was delicious.

business trips to Sydney just got a a whole lot f***ing easier!

They punch donuts in Sydney... not eat them.

s*** I was going to buy krispy kreme donuts but qmass says no.

Oh well :(

business trips to Sydney just got a a whole lot f***ing easier!

Damn straight, no more lugging back tons of donuts for all and sundry...

I thought he meant no more going to sydney, there's no need anymore

mm my sister always brings back donuts when she goes to Sydney with work, but after having only about 5 or 6 of them I'm already completely over them. Far too sickly

pfft krispy kream is s***. People just get caught up by the novelty value and the scarcity. Now that they're more readily available you will all realize how average they are.

yep

hi5

I'd like to realise how average your face is with my FIST&^!@#

where are the breakfast kk's jim?

Inside every fat person is a thin person trying to get out, but you can usually shut the bastards up with donuts

so wherer is this kk i havnt had some in a while

but I guess they'd impose some telstra like limit on it.

AHhahahahaha

so wherer is this kk i havnt had some in a while

near boost on the mall, down toward the square from hungries

so has anybody been yet? is the lineup crazy?

nah cant be f***ed, lots of hype, no sugar high

BTW Beard Papa's >>>>>>> KK

Seriously, this place makes the ultimate sweets, better then a donut.

yeh its totally packed. line about 20 mins long outside the shop :( meh.

ahahahah suckers.

They will clean up big-time today.

Is there still a line-up?

O rly? I've never had a Krispy Kreme donut, I will have to stop by the city store on my way home tmrw and pick one up.

someone better get some on the way to work tomorrow!

I'm goin to the valley in the morning, I'll cruise by on the way back to the office and see if it's packed or not and maybe get some

huge line up, it was the place to be seen in Brisbane today...

Sif you'd get out of your new black beast Jim. They'd need a drive through

Seriously, KK is overpriced, over rated s*** that people go ga-ga for just because it's an American icon that we've missed out on up until now.

kK is f***ing tastey and if you dont like it your a filthy commy

heh fnukle
I won't be in mine, I'll be in a loaner :) two of my wheels are gettin swapped over cos they were delivered with chips in them

A new Kk opened up within the same shop front as Oporto in George Street Sydney. Pretty sweet idea.

yeah quick line up they won't be there in a months time LOL

yeah huge line, i gave up

Jim - fredd0 says you're a hobo or something
also that you suck at quake

Are they making them fresh in the store? Or are they still being made at a main factory and sent to Briz?

A bloke at our work (BCC) brought in a couple of boxes this morning for all and sundry to try. Not bad, lots of sugary glaze. Sif you'd travel to cockroach country for it though.

heh how's freddo goin teq
haven't seen him for about 3 years or so at a bbq of buba's and before that it was a few years as well

another american junk food thingie id like to see are white castle burgers :I

and wendys

Wendys just got acquired by Arbys, so who knows what's in store..

Where abouts in the mall is it? CBF going through the whole thread to find answer

we've got about 4 of these in canberra, some bakers, some just store fronts. No Wendys??

glad brisbane is finally starting to catch up with the modern world, you do have mcdonalds up there, right? Coca-Cola?

did a drive-by this morning, brisbane kk's are definitely better than mexican ones, you can tell just by eating them

natslovr: you might be thinking of the wrong wendys

They have McDonalds in Queensland, but no Krusty Burger. There's little differences - you can still get a Krusty Burger with Cheese - but they don't call it a Krusty Burger - they call it a Quater Pounder with Cheese. You can also get Partially Gelatinated, Non-Dairy, Gum-Based Beverages, but they're called "Shakes" - you don't know what you're getting :/

Mmmm, Krispy Kreme.

350 calories and 40g of fat goodness :)

^ IS THAT PER DONUT!??!?!?!

Yup, according to the channel 7 news last night.

jesus christ, forget that

the original glazed ones are a 52g serve, 198 calories with 3.0g of saturated fat which is 5.7% - or 94% fat-free if you prefer to look at it that way :)

not sure what agent99 is talking about

source: http://www.krispykreme.com.au/resources/pdf/KK_Nutritional_Info.pdf

False.

One donut is 835kJ(198 Cal), 12g fat (3g saturated)

Carbs 22g (10g sugars)

That's off the back of the box. Don't know what you be smoking girl.

Also, they taste delicious enough to have 40g of fat in them. I had to eat 3.5 of them just to get my 40g this morning.

f*** me. If that's true:
To put this in perspective, it would take most people here about 30 mins of high intensity exercise to burn that amount of energy. And I don't mean walking up the stairs to work a few times, I mean killing yourself on a treadmill, bike or smashing weights for thirty continuous minutes. That's not even considering the softdrink you have with the donut, or any of the other s*** you eat for the rest of the day.

edit: only 200 calories? only 20 minutes working your arse off;)

Big deal, I did 90 minutes this morning while you were still sleeping Billy.

And I don't mean walking up the stairs to work a few times

Looks like I'm in some strife then.

Big deal, I did 90 minutes this morning while you were still sleeping Billy.

and then it was my turn, although I only did 45 minutes

nevertheless, by my estimation billy yo momma has already done enough exercise to eat 3 boxes!

only 200 calories? only 20 minutes working your arse off;)

Or sweet f*** all if you usually eat properly and don't sit on your arse all day. :)

Considering there's 9 calories in a gram of fat it's not possible to have 40grams of fat and only 350 calories per donut as agent99 stated.

Even if you were eating 40 grams of pure fat with nothing else in it that's 360 calories.

Wow, I think fatties should be banned from even entering the store..

Zaphod that'd be pretty dumb. Skinny people didn't get skinny by eating donuts.

Sorry if it's wrong guys - just stating what I heard on the ch 7 news last night. Maybe it was sensationalised a little?...

I appreciate the figures I quoted do seem rather large. Look up the Krispy Kreme website if you want to check I guess ^^

Yeah that's right, if you're some kind of freak with no basal metabolism, doesn't burn any energy just staying alive and has no discernable brain activity. To put it in real perspective, all that fat isn't healthy and eating them everyday will almost certainly shorten your life, but 1 damn donut won't make a difference to your health and fitness over a life time.

Google provides this info:

http://www.shapefit.com/krispykreme.html

http://www.krispykreme.com/doughnuts.pdf

but 1 damn donut won't make a difference to your health and fitness over a life time.

I think the implications are when it becomes a one-a-day or 2-3-per-week activity.

I can confirm the treadmill at UQ tells me 200 Cal after 20-25 mins of exercise. I'm sure it's not that accurate (other factors are obviously involved) but in the right ballpark.

After Billy's comments I may stay away from donuts in the longterm (thank you!)

1 damn donut won't make a difference to your health and fitness over a life time.

But I've just eaten two!

We are talking donuts, not cocks blah.

I think fatties should be banned from even entering the store..

don't worry our new government will penalty tax it soon enough.

The only reason why even not doing anything (such as end of lunch in an office job) after eating a donut (200 Cal) doesnt make you fat is coz ur burning 80-100W just sitting there and maybe walking around a bit. So in about 3 hours at 80W your body has burnt off most of that maybe minus some of that fat or saturated fat.

Woot for my backup called BMR! I think my BMR is about 75-80W average.

Pfft, I live off KFC and my trusty 100 Percentrum, Needless to say I'm a heathly 100kg of tough as f***, pure Kiwi man meat.
However lately moved in with my chickie babe and she cooks all the time now so I'm now getting apparently healthy veggies, tho I'm still to notice any good stuff or side effects.

Zaphod that'd be pretty dumb. Skinny people didn't get skinny by eating donuts.

Depends on their metabolism. If you're active enough, you could get away with it.

But if you're a fatty, you're asking for trouble.

They have McDonalds in Queensland

Hm, never heard of it. They musta sprung out over night.

But if you're a fatty, you're asking for trouble.

Dust, anybody? Anybody? Dust? No? Dust? No? Dust? No? Dust?

haha
give it time fukkles

found out some guy from goodlife gym in the city won the golden ticket..

So ..... The Krispy Kreme at Logan Hyperdome ... Is that just their bakey/warehouse or an actual store?

a guy from a gym won the years supply of free KK's ? balls

he won it to help the fatties..

it's a distribution centre lonewolf
