Krispy Kreme Sells Liquid Doughnuts

Krispy Kreme is introducing a doughnut-flavored drink.

The company, coming off a sluggish period of doughnut sales, has launched a line of frozen drinks, including one that tastes like its signature glazed doughnut.

The frozen drinks come in three other flavors; raspberry, latte and double chocolate.

"Just as we did with our new signature coffees, our team took great care in developing four new, great-tasting frozen blended beverages, designed to offer customers an even greater variety of choices and taste experiences," said Scott Livengood, president and chief executive officer of Krispy Kreme.

The company is coming off a sluggish period of doughnut sales, blamed in part on the low-carb diet craze.

Krispy Kreme has more than 380 stores in 44 U.S. states, Canada, Mexico, Australia and the United Kingdom.

Are hedgehog flavour crisps still sold in the UK?

They used to be.

Baked hedgehog is rather like chicken but with a nutty flavour.

There was, until recently, a milkshake you could get here in UK that was jam (jelly) doughnut flavour.

It was F***in' marvellous!!!!

You can keep it! I'd rather have your doughnuts, love.

As for hedgehog crisps, sorry to dispell the myth, but they weren't hedgehod flavour, it was the brand name. They went bust not long after launch. I wonder why???

I can picture myself slurping one of those. They sell Brownie and butter cookie flavored shakes down at the local burger joint. It's basically a regular vanilla shake and a handful of cookies, mixed in a blender. Damn tasty things, but more sure to clog up your arteries than anything else.

From "The Ultimatye Bad Candy Site" about "Happy Plums" from China:

"Happy Plums come packaged in groups of four, with two little baseball-playing monkeys on the front. Silly monkeys. Anyway, through the packaging, the Happy Plums appear to simply be withered, spice covered plums (and so I doubt their happiness), coated in a transparent, gelatinous material. However, turn the packaging upside down. Shake it as hard as you can. Throw it against the wall. Stomp on it. Pick it back up, and you begin to realize what's so special about Happy Plums. They haven't moved from their original location. Still stuck to the same spot. Remember this; it will be important later..."

A very funny site, if you ask me. Read their piece on those disgusting Circus Peanut Candies. Rremember those? They were shaped like big peanuts, but had banana flavoring, and were made of some glutinous polymeric material that sucked the saliva right out of your mouth like a dessicated sponge.

Zoot, I love that site!!!

I love what they consider candy in other parts of the world.

Emoticon for gag reflex would go here if I could find one. That's just nasty.

Mix it with coffe and you have a complete nutritious breakfast.

I'm not getting disturbed about this, not worth it. I get the point of the site (sad humour), but there are a few Mexican dulces (candies) there, including a favourite, cajetas.

I wouldn''t care for the 'happy' plums, but I acquired a taste for the plum part when married to a Chinese man.

I recall those giant fake peanuts, truly awful; otherwise the denigration of sweets from foreign countries seems basically racist to me.

p.s. I also love the popcorn Jelly Belly.

Trades Description Act?

Hedgehogs taste good. The bones are a nuisance.

Cover in wet clay and slow cook in a haybox for about five hours.

The spines peel off with the clay.

Is this a first?

Can Jeanne claim a record?

Making Lou speechless must be an unique achievement.

Yep, it's a record, Jeanne should be very proud.

You think Lou talks a lot? You should try sharing her mind.

The idea of a liquid donut is incomprehensible to me. IMO the deliciousness of a donut is in the texture.

otherwise the denigration of sweets from foreign countries seems basically racist to me.

People don't know what they're missing, if they don't go into an ethnic grocery and sample some of the munchies, for all that the Asians don't really seem to get chocolate and should leave it alone. OTOH, have you ever had jelly chews? My mother turned me on to them because there was this humongous Asian grocery, as big as a small American supermarket, the kind of place where you can view live carp in aquariums and see produce you don't know what the hell to do with (including durian) in Houston that she likes to go to. A couple of years back jelly chews disappeared from the market because someone's kid choked on one of them (despite the warning on the packaging) but they're back in a different form.
