OT- Best Snack Donut

tesco samoa · #1 August 15th, 2001, 06:30 PM

Tim Horton's blueberry fritter is IMO the most addictive donut going. If you have not tried one and a Tim's is near by go get one.

I had relatives visiting CAN from Ireland and their addicted to the suckers.

Think apple fritter but blueberries and filled like a jelly donut if you do not know what one is.

So one vote for this snack

Tesco,

Your right about the blueberries, but it is the blueberry muffins that are the best.

Is a fritter really a donut? I thought it was something else.

IMHO the boston creme doughnut is their best doughtnut.

I recently heard that the fruit explosion muffin is by far their biggest seller.

Make it two votes for a Timy's Boston creme donut. Messy though.

LITTLE CHOCOLATE DONUTS!

Two words: Krispy Kreme!

If there's a Krispy Kreme near you, go stop in when they've got the "Hot Dounghnuts Now" sign lit up. After you get heady from the overpoweringly sweet odor of doughnuts baking and glave being poured over top of 'em, and after you pause for a moment to watch the doughnut-making magic in process, order yourself a couple of Original Glazed doughnuts and some milk (or coffee). They're wonderful anytime, but a little slice of heaven when their still warm, right out of the frier.

I read somewhere that when Krispy Kreme opened a store in New York, people were lined up around the block to get Hot Doughnuts Now!

Man, I wish I bought their stock when they went public....

Quikngruvn-- now I need a doughnut fix!

KK? bleah. I rembember the hype and the lines when they came to the bay area, but when it comes down to it they are just regular dounghnuts that are glazed over with that hard shell sugary glaze stuff, and the ones that would normally be glazed look like they are dipped in resin or something. they just smother the poor things in sugar. the best dounghnuts usually come from small places where, if they are part of a chain, you cant really trust one location from another. its sort of a neighborhood thing, and an acquired feel for hunting the best shop down.

but back to the subject of the thread, which is the 'snack' variety of said consumeable. I tend to define 'snack' is something to casually munch on while doing other things. used in verb form, 'to snack.' for this definition, I have to side with Geo, the small chocolate ones are the best. of course, if you are using the noun form as a filler between meals: 'a snack,' then the rest of the discussion is entirely valid as well.

Timbits make good filler but their not as addictive.

I went to the blueberry muffins to get off the blueberry fritters.
Now I am off the blueberry muffins so as long as someone does not bring any donuts into work I will be fine.

Never had a KK. None in Canada. Though I do hear that the cost of a franchise is 285k U.S. with a turnover rated at 11 months.

Where I live it looks like donut stores are the only new businesses. I live in a city of 140K and their are 5 Tims. 3 Williams , 2 Robbies, 8 Coffee times, 6 Country Styles and about 20 little independent stores. Then throw in the Starbucks, MMMMmuffins and Second Cups. Over kill. I am surprised that Oshawa has not ballooned at a rate of x to the power of x. Ha Ha

Anyways back to the topic...

Good arguement on the little Choc Donuts. Maybe I will have to try them.

i dont know whats more disturbing, the state of your local economy, or the fact that you have an exact count of the types and quantities of every dounghnut store in your city.

hmmm. maybe i should move there.

True. Having a Krispy Kreme down the street makes Summer's 110% humidity (that's what it feels like) bearable. Greetings from Alabama to South Carolina!
