yet another KK
so we're on the way home.. and we go past Penrith (were i never normally go) and decide to stop at this new donut chain called KrispyKremes (
http://www.krispykreme.com.au). the Penrith store is the first outside of North America (where there are about 350 of these stores), and i didnt really expect that much froma donut store, but as we arrived we saw a line out the door, around the corner, and around the next corner.. it looked like the opening to star wars episode 3 or something was going on. after waiting in line for a lil while we thought the drive-thru might be a better option, but i counted 40+ cars waiting for the drive thru!! omg!.. this was 4pm on a Sunday afternoon in Penrith..
whilst in the line we had an opportunity to watch the production line for these Krispy Kreme original glazed donuts being deep fried in oil and them waterfalled with a sugary glaze.. mm healthy =p there was a guy employed basically to pick out reject donuts and chuck them in the bin.. and he got a suprisingly large ratio.. i reakon about 1 in 8 was a reject.. luckily they were giving out the rejects to the ppl in the line as freebies for the ridiculously long wait.
after a 1hr 20 min wait.. we made it to the front of the line.. and had a vast array of donuts to pick from.. i went for the box of a dozen assorted donuts.. mm.. tasty, but quite spectacularly bad for my teeth and arteries =p
.. the donuts were good .. i dunno if theyre drive-2hours-to-penrith-and-wait-in-line-for-8mins good, but the popularity of it makes me wanna open a krispy kremes franchise of my own.. id make a killing i reakon.
