Does that mean donut prices are dropping?
Huzzah!
Cheaper donuts mean more police, thus highering the quality of our law enforcement!
Just kidding :P
according to the standard economics supply/demand curves, you are correct:

>KK's still up almost 20% from a year ago
I assume you are talking about the price of KK's doughnuts. On the other hand, if you are talking about the stock price, well let's just say the chart is not a pretty sight. :eek:
I meant this "Despite industry sales trends that continue to weaken, Krispy Kreme's volumes were up in the most recent period, rising 18.4% from a year earlier."
Apparently at 11pm my brain thinks "volume" means "money"
I heard a rumor that Krispy Kreme failed to turn a profit last year. Apparently that's not the case, but I think they're defiantely going to start declining soon. Maybe not to the point of going out of business, but I definately think this is a bit of a fad. I never found them that tantalizing.
Oh, I don't know... they're some of the best donuts I've ever had... but I don't sit around eating them all the time either. I don't get this physique *points to hidden half of six pack* eating donuts. IT COMES FROM OREOS! ;)
krispy kremes are good, but they arent my favorite.
my favorite come from the little donut shop down the road called Top Donuts :)
oh and Shipleys are awesome too.
If anyone's from South Africa and goes to Gold Reef City that much, try the donut stand right outside the mine - it's been there for at least 15 years so it's not going anywhere, but they make a donut the way a donut was made a hundred years ago... better hygiene of course...
but donuts werent made 100 years ago...at least as far as i know
i thought they were invented in world war 2 to feed the troops. that is what i heard on History Channel.
Govtcheez, very interesting to see that sales rose 18.4%. The stock price has collapsed despite rising sales. This may bode well for KK. This Atkins diet is obviously a BIG concern for them, and for other doughnut shops. Perhaps they will introduce a low carb doughnut. Or maybe they already have. :)Quote:

I'm with David, but KK (which I think is a bad choice of initials for them. It's like a children's cartoon company calling themselves XX Animation) is planning on releasing a low-carb donut in October. Bagle?
Yes, I agree with you. But naturally people will try anything to lose weight. And if they can eat as much of something as they want and still lose weight, they'll go for it.
well, the problem is people eat too much anyway. Atkins, AFAIK, only works if you convert to eating solely protein and LIMIT intake of fats. Plus, it is pretty unhealthy as you really can mess up your metabolism and enzyme system if you dont check up with a doctor periodically.Quote:

anyway, I never did enjoy KK so apparently the world is catching on that big-commercialized food != good.
Nah, wouldn't be. Most grains are pretty high carb - that's why whenever you see commercials for hamburger places with Atkins menus, they skip the buns.Quote:

Maybe it'll be made of meat :)
Or cheese.
cheese donuts? one would think that would worse for you than regular donuts.Quote:

Swiss?
I have a feeling that as unhealthy as donuts are, people maybe need to start looking at what they have with donuts, coffee(just check how many calories you get with that starbucks vente half-and-half latte with extra whip cream).
Sometimes I like to just eat a bucket of Cool Whip.
Who doesn't?
