However, I think the core issue is that I don't actually like doughnuts.

I know how you feel.

I don't really like doughnuts, and active dislike cake doughnuts, but a hot Krispy Kreme is nectar of the gods. They're disgusting to me cold, but right out of the fat is nirvana.

And Krispy Kremes somehow do not fall into the same category as other donuts. I do not know why.

It's because they are actually a different kind of thing -- Krispy Kremes are a yeast dough, Dunkin et al are cake. I believe.

Boston Kreme doughnuts from Dunkin have yeast in them, according to the web site.

I used to like cake doughnuts. And why not? Hey, cake! NSM anymore. Not sure what's up with that.

Cake donuts are the best, especially blueberry cake donuts. Yummm. Although I will not say no to a vanilla-frosted long john (no filling, please!), but that's just to serve as a delivery system for the vanilla frosting.

Dunkin' has both cake and yeast donuts. I am a fan of all donuts but prefer yeast ones.

Seriously. Donuts are definitely a Thing for me. I love them way too much.

Dunkin' has both cake and yeast donuts.

Huh!

I guess I only order cake donuts, if I'm at Dunkin -- chocolate. Really, I most like the munchkins with the crunchy stuff on the outside.

Happy birthday to Cashmere, megan, Matt, and ita's dad!

The yeast donuts at Dunkin' Donuts still aren't like Krispy Kremes to me. I do not like Krispy Kremes at all.

Of course, I eat donuts pretty rarely these days. And I never really forgave Dunkin' Donuts for abandoning the cruller.

They didn't respect the cruller?

No, they didn't and it was one of my favs at Dunkin.
