Krispy Kreme at Westfield Woden

It’s actually crack, not just cocaine – it is powdered fine and sprinkled on top.

Damn your sarcasm Chalker! I have been sitting here trying to figure out how Tuesday the 11th was a day off…

I just heard on 104.7 that the Woden KK store isn’t officially opening until June. The 5000 donut giveaway is just a promo.

i am not usually even into donuts but damn i love those original glazed krispy kremes…i agree with schmerica, there be drugs in dem donuts!

I didn’t realise that Tuesday was part of the weekend. Damn, I’ve been going to work that day this whole time.

To be flushed down with the golden freshness of a Duff!

this statement about the KK would make Homer proud:

Out of the oil, and through a thin waterfall of sweet glaze, the fluffy hoops of delight were then placed in flat boxes or set neatly in display trays.

After I had witnessed a similar craze in Canada when Krispy came got introduced in 2002, I did some research on Saturday… Basically what the Krispys do is a very simple marketing trick: They make every opening a media event (works, as can be seen on RiotACT). Also, they keep their shop numbers low and spread false rumours of shop openings that leave disappointed customers who lose out – on just a damn donut. Google for “Krispy Kreme”+buzz+marketing and you shall see that you fell for a simple trick!

a necessary part of any diet…if you wish to head for an early grave.

recently there was a heap of hype in melb about krispy kreme opening a store…but the store turned out to be a ‘pop-up sjop’ i.e. turns up for a few days then disappears again.

so maybe this is that again…it seems very unlikely that a store would open in canberra before somewhere like melbourne considering how close we are to sydney.
