There were places in my home town that put children's breakfast cereal on top of their doughnuts and then charged outrageous prices. They tasted terrible and cut up the roof of your mouth.

Some years ago I was working in a warehouse that was located right next to a Dunkin Donuts factory and we got plenty of bad donuts for free. They had like wonky frosting, no or too little fillings, were defective, or day old leftovers that went a little dry and/or had a little bit of that old fat taste. Donuts deemed unfit for selling but technically still edible. Here & there a fly died on one so you had to watch out for that stuff.

I dunno why they don't just mark down old food for the last hour of business. Us cheap folk would clear them out. Grocery store sandwiches, bakery stuff, etc. Some places it gets donated but a lot of places just chuck it. Bruh I will buy your slightly stale day old sandwiches for a buck every time.

I once walked up to a Blue Star Donuts just after they closed up and the guy working there ran up to the door and gave me a free six pack of random doughnuts.

He was probably just a nice dude and getting rid EOD stuff, but I like to think it's because I'm incredibly hot.

I like those old fashioned sour cream donuts you can get from convenience stores.

sour cream donuts are absolutely the best donut, but the only places that make them around here are grocery store bakeries, none of the donut shops do. It's very strange. They're so good with coffee. yeah all donuts are, but these especially.

There's not a lot of mom and pop donut stores here around Austin, it's all shipleys. There's a place downtown called Gordough's that has those giant hipster donuts with poo poo on them like fried chicken or bacon or whatever. They're ok like once every couple of years, but I honestly just want a little bag of donut holes.

I dunno if I've had a bad donut, but I've had ones I couldn't finish because they were just too sweet or too huge (gordoughs)

there was a thread years ago on these very forums about dumpster diving for like, old odwalla juices and expired muffins and poo poo from the backs of starbucks at night

people did this for some reason? I don't know but something tells me that 15 years later they still aren't stealing garbage from a dumpster like raccoons at 2AM

there was a time in my life where I'd buy a 14 dollar sicilian pizza with my roommate and make it last 3 days, eating nothing else. I still never considered dumpster diving.

in my experience almost everyone who passes through a freshman dorm's common area at 2am is ready and willing to eat dumpster donuts from a trash bag

I bought a 4-pack of tiny donuts from the mini-mart down the street that this cute Korean family owns.

They weren't Hostess, they were Krispy Kreme. I would have got Hostess if they had them because I don't prefer Krispy Kreme over anything. Anyway, chocolate.

I was longboarding, so I'm focusing on the terrain and obstacles and what not. I pop open the donuts and start chomping on them and they don't taste great, which doesn't surprise me because it's Krispy Kreme, but these were a bit stale. I take a couple glances down and they seem alright to the eye. I finished the one I was eating.

I got home and took one out and upon closer inspection it was totally covered with stringy hairy mold. Gone far, far bad. I couldn't find an exp. date on it and fortunately I didn't get sick, but I was really grossed out for a while.

You can get these at most farmer's markets or fairs in America. They'll offer option to coat them with cinnamon or powdered sugar and give you a cup of chocolate to dip it in.

Seattle metropolitan area. The donuts I speak of are mini-donuts. I can't tell if the ones linked are, but they are proportioned the same. Deep fried?

I was babysat for a large part of my childhood by friends of the family who ran a Mexican bakery. This was cool, as I got to help out in the store and eat lots of delicious Mexican breads and pastries as a kid for free.

Conchas though are the point of this because I cannot imagine why anyone buys them. It's a donut shaped thing that is baked and not fried. And it has some kind of topping made of cinnamon sugar.

But don't be fooled. This may look soft, it is not. It may look sweet, it is not. They are crusty, bland, stale hockey pucks of flour and yeast that trick you into thinking its a treat. The pigeons did not even eat them. Buy Cream cheese Chamucos instead

that's just pan. or pan dulce if u wanna be all formal. which literally means sweet bread. i thought everyone has tried it at some point

a stale regular glazed donut where the icing has started to liquify because the sugar absorbed so much air are pretty gross... like day old glazed? nasty.

i don't often eat donuts, their sold out at the good place by 9am and im too lazy.. but i've never had a bearclaw or whatever you call a fried cinnamon rolled thing that was horrible

a good one of these is fantastic but while the american kind is almost impossible to gently caress up these ones are very possible to gently caress up. often too crunchy/oily. they were usually good at the seaside but if you went to like a fair or whatever and got these they were usually not very good

i did this when i was a student and had no money, but i did it at the bougie rear end supermarket because they threw out super nice french cheeses and fancy rear end european stuff that was nearly always still good for like a week afterwards (at least as long as it wasn’t like the middle of summer). also because they didn’t lock their dumpsters up like every other supermarket did as they were too upper middle class to even be aware that someone might go fishing around in their bins

and yea i don’t really do that anymore. even though i still have no money

I worked at a Winco without a bakery and a lot of the "fresh" baked goods were actually prepared offsite and would come in frozen. When they were brought out to thaw and be stocked on the shelf, they'd dial in a date to the sticker gun that was a given number of days out and slap them on all the packages. Walmart does the same thing.

Content: One time pre-covid, I had the for real deal flu and was shivering in bed, aching, and dehydrated for 2 days straight before I finally could drag myself out of the house and get Carl's Jr and a dozen doughnuts as well as a bunch of Gatorade. Gross, I know but I was starving and delirious. I got home and tore into it all, only to realize I had lost all sense of taste.

Imagine what a greasy fast food burger or maple bar would be like if they had zero flavor, just the texture. So loving disgusting. That's the worst doughnut I've ever had.
