IMPONDERABLE
Jeff Quinton over at Backcountry Conservative is a good guy, so don’t go thinking that I’m piling on here. He’s an early-adopter who gave a try to the new Krispy Kreme donut smoothie. And he gave it a rather positive review:
The Original Kreme frozen blend was the closest thing to a Krispy Kreme doughnut I’ve ever had besides a Krispy Kreme doughnut. The whipped cream mixed in with the blend was the finishing touch that tasted just like the glazing on the doughnuts.
It sounds tasty, and if I ever get to West Allis again, I’ll probably try one. But what I can’t figure out is this: who needs a drinkable donut, and what’s the point of selling drinkable Krispy Kremes at Krispy Kreme? You’re at the store. Buy a flippin’ donut. I could understand selling this at the hinterland gas stations that sell KKs for a couple hours in the mornings–this would be a way of satisfying the KK jones of slugabeds like me. Selling it at the store, though–that’s just beyond me.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
It’s a gimmick to promote the other 3 flavors as well - plus a hot donut and frozen coffee won’t go together that well. This lets you have frozen coffee with frozen donut.

Pretty sure I’d be repulsed by any KK drink flavor/taste.

I can’t think of the last time I craved a frozen donut. Or frozen coffee. I think this is just not for me all the way around.
