The closest Krispy Kreme to my home town is as of writing exactly 1,337 miles. :negative:

They're opening several over the course of the next three years though, probably as part of the same initiative that is turning the north end into a box store/strip mall hellscape, so I may yet get the chance to heckle and mock at a Krispy Kreme grand opening!

Further proof that South Australia is a decade behind. I remember people talking about when the first one opened in Sydney ages ago, but given they're stunningly mediocre donuts I don't get why it was a thing.

I wonder if the second floor of the Krispy Kreme has a visible layer of aerosolized grease in the air.

Krispy Kremes are only good when the spring school fundraiser comes around and you get a leftover box from what wasn't sold.

It was a big deal when they opened a Krispy Kreme in my town. Either that or it was another chic-fil-a, I can't remember anymore. Might have been both.

The grand opening of the first Krispy Kreme a few years ago. That's the line outside the giant luxury mall. The mob inside was about half as big again. Anytime an international food brand opens here people go nuts.

My favorite part about it was that all the way across town at Bang Sue MRT (Subway) station, some lady was selling box after box of that poo poo that she'd been going to buy every morning downtown. I should've told her about EVE online. She'd love it.

A Krispy Kreme opened up in New Castle, DE on the first of this month.



A group was there picketing the chain's use of palm oil, cultivation of which sometimes involves some pretty bad deforestation.

Is it any coincidence that the same national airline has crashed one passenger craft in a war zone and another into the ocean over the course of a few months?

The initial InfoWars write-up is pretty tame, which just a hint of FALSE FLAG(!!!) at the end.

But the comments.... oh, the sweet, sweet comments.

Who knows what the planes actual mission was, and the real payload. Plus what was that plane doing in a NO fly zone...a known war zone.......something is not adding up.

Either NATO did this as an excuse to go in, or this was intended as a "9/11" type of operation against Moscow and the Russkies were not putting up with it..


parrots_abound • 8 minutes ago

Strange numbers here:

1) Boeing 777
2) Flight number MH-17
3) Crashed on the 17th day, of the 7th month, in 20(14) 2 times SEVEN
4) Passengers dead 295. 2+9+5 = 16 = Seven

It was also from Malaysia moths after a Malaysian flight went missing.

Sorry, that's just weird.


truth • 10 minutes ago

Israel was in possession of an airliner exactly like the Malaysian 370 disappearing plane at the time of that incident. Why would they have a plane which had "Malaysian markings on it at all? This reeks of a False Flag.
Also, who in their right mind would be flying a passenger jet over a known "war zone". BTW the BRICS countries are quickly moving forward to circumvent the "Rothschild Central bank scheme. Cuba is on board to be the next member. This poses a direct threat to Jewish Hegemony in the world of finance- INTEREST FREE MONEY!

And so on.

They have them in NYC now but if there's one thing I have actual fond memories of from living in New England as a kid it's Dunkin and my inner five-year-old will not be swayed from his arbitrary brand loyalty.

If there's two things then the second is Italian Ice.

See, this even seems worse to me because at least you could argue that Krispy Kreme is a novelty for Oceania or SE Asia, but what can BK possibly offer Belgium? They already do fries with mayo. It's their thing.
