Yeah, that was my expectation walking in there. I bought a donut with buttercream icing. There was absolutely no butter in the icing. It was just junk. I threw it out.

There's a place for lower-end stuff and I'm perfectly happy with good, cheap stuff. This donut wasn't good at any price. I wouldn't eat it if it was free.

Sorry; you didn’t get OG glaze? They are overhyped sure… but I didn’t even know they made other types of donuts. You ####ed up.

I was curious if they were using fake butter or something, but I don't even see a butter cream on their menu(nor ingredients or nutrition, for that matter)

Maybe it was just a cream doughnut?

This donut story is taking a spooky twist.

“And then I realized I’ve never even been to a Krispy Kreme

What the hell did I put in my mouth?”

I’ve mentioned before the Canadian obsession and over hyping of mid American chains but it will never not be funny to me.

Only a few live up to the hype for me. If I ever get fat it will be because of Popeyes chicken.

Kristy Keam donuts need to be warm just out of the oven and just their original.

If you order wrong that’s on you.

Popeyes is definitely an exception. Helps that they’re legitimately one of the best fast food fried chicken places.

I swear KFC mixes cocaine into their macaroni salad. There is a Colombian man in the back with a giant brick of blow just mixing it in with a sad look on his face.

This place needs a 'Chicken Thread.'

Where is a good place to get good rotisserie chicken? I find that I'm just getting tired of places that are trying to re-invent the 'Fried Chicken Wheel.'
