That is a grossly over-exaggerated price for donuts imo.

- minitoar 6y ago1 dozen krispy kreme glazed donuts is like $8
- vxNsr 6y ago1 dozen donuts from DD where I live is $13+tax
- unishark 6y agoIsn't that a bit like evaluating the cost of coffee based on starbucks prices? We also don't know how recent this story is. When I was a kid, in the days before gentrification and gourmet-everything, there was a doughnut shop nearby that was like $2 for a dozen. It was way cheaper than regular fast food. I remember thinking what a great discovery it was until I found I couldn't handle more than a couple of them before the sugar was too much for me.
- AussieWog93 6y agoAre doughnuts different in America to other parts of the world? I couldn't imagine ever eating 12 Aussie-style doughnuts in 1 sitting, unless it was some sort of eating competition. It'd be like eating 3 hamburgers or 6 hot dogs.
- minitoar 6y agoI don’t think they are different. In my experience it’s common to buy them by the dozen because you’re taking them to some sort of event.
- minitoar 5y agoI don’t think KK is quite as pricey as Starbucks. A Starbucks brewed coffee is about 2x the price by volume of McDs. As long as we’re talking about standard kk-sized donuts I think it would be difficult to find them for less than $6/dozen.
- oarsinsync 5y agoCounterpoint: a dozen chocolate covered donuts are under 3€ in Lidl. Same size as a KKD, made fresh in store that day too
- minitoar 5y agoMaybe this food is cheaper in the EU? At a Lidl in Virginia, a dozen donuts is still about $8.
- oarsinsync 5y agoMaybe. KKD glazed are still like 1,70€ a unit though.
- sneak 6y agoDunkin' Donuts are over €1/donut ($1.20) in Berlin, even by the dozen.
