- goatinaboat 7y agohow can you be craving so much to pay twice for donuts? It’s a cultural thing. For example if you are an American cop then being seen with a donut in your hand is part of the image, just as much as the badge and the gun. People will gladly pay a premium in many ways to portray a particular image, the entire fashion industry relies on it.

- lukebitts 7y agoI've been to the US once and the only thing I miss is Krispy Kremes. I haven't found a single other doughnut that is as good as theirs.
- dghughes 7y agoCome on now being in southern Europe you should be well aware of cafes and corner bakeries and the culture around it. It's pretty much the same concept as the US (or Canadian) doughnut shop except not as nice. I worked with a guy from Poland who worked for a company in Austria which was based in Monaco. He just got back from Spain after being in France for a while. When he came here to Canada he was shocked at the lack of corner bakeries. It's so common to pop into a corner bakery for a croissant or sandwich made fresh that morning or afternoon. In Canada the Tim Horton's coffee and doughnut shop is a giant. It has four times as many store per capita than Starbucks in the US.
