The donut challenge!

Since arriving here, Jason has been telling us how much better Krispy Kreme’s donuts are compared to Dunkin’ Donuts. So tonight, I put he and Michelle up to the donut challenge!

4 plates were laid out, each with a single donut on it (cut into 4 pieces so we could all participate). The plates were labelled “A” – “D”. Jason and Michelle each had a score card, and had to write down which vendor each of the donuts were from.

And the result? Michelle proved a very confused donut consumer, with a dismal 1 out of 4 correct. Jason scored slightly better with 2 out of 4 – clearly proving that the difference is marginal at best. Kristy had consumed a few too many beers to make her vote count – not only that, but she didn’t even get through all 4 quarters anyway.

So the conclusion? A donut is a donut, though perhaps some more research is required. Any volunteers?

I would just like to state for the record the original challenge was going to be to pick between a DD and a KK jam donut -which also happens to be the one on the test that I got correct!

The thing about Krispy Kremes is that theyre just a completely different kind of donut than the ones you get at DD’s. Krispy Kremes are first of all, only worth a tin damn if theyre *fresh*. Preferably still warm. But still, they’re just another animal from DD’s donuts– DD’s have a wider variety and they cater to those of us who prefer our donuts either filled, or with "stuff" on them. <br><br>DD’s makes significantly better *coffee*, however, and really… that’s worth it right there.

I think Krispy Kreme donuts are the way to go, you can’t get them in Brisbane but you can get them at Sydney airport. So every person thats goes to Sydney, I make sure they bring one back for me!!

Pick me, pick me!!! It’ll be tough, but I’ll put my body on the line in the name of research!
