Krispy Kreme’s new donut flavor is a soggy symbol of everything wrong with this town.
So I see our beloved community is raving about the new Krispy Kreme doughnut—salted caramel dream or whatever they call it. Look, I don’t care if it’s trendy or if your kid’s soccer team gets a free box. Running out to wait in a 45-minute drive-thru line for a donut? That’s common sense gone out the window. Meanwhile, our potholes are swallowing mail trucks and the library had to cancel story hour due to budget cuts. But hey, at least we’ve got capitalism’s glazed solution to inflation. Must be nice to have gas money for that, while the rest of us are budgeting for bread. Maybe if the Krispy Kreme gave away free tires instead of sprinkles, we’d all be better off. Priority check, folks—before your next glazed fix.
