My wife and I love to read labels! (There''s some commercial on tv that says Canadians love to read labels. I think this is feeding our belief that on average, we''re more health-conscious than our American cousins.)

My opinion is not to eat more than 2 at a time.

Sparkster, that''s the funny thing...people either seem to really love them or hate them...!! I have heard others say they hate them because they are soo sweet. I love sickly sweet stuff, but again, I can really only have one...the second one starts all sorts of wrong!! heee.

By the way I hate this thread! It makes me think of donuts which I adore but rarely ever have! WAH!

UUUGGGHHHHH, I absolutely hate Krispy Kreme...I never heard of them until I moved to Illinois 8 years ago. It''s like people here are mad for them. To me they are like eating warm sugar...YUCK! Just the smell makes me sick. I love donuts like the next person but I despise Krispy Kremes

Hi Victoria!

I think the new Krispy Kreme is at Fountaingate Shopping Ctr at Narre Warren. If you watch Kath & Kim, that''s the shopping centre in that show

Hi jadeleaves
