Thumbs down Drinkable Doughnuts??
Talk about drinking your calories, does it get much worse than this??
I bet even would be outraged, though I'm sure there'll be a market for this

"We feel our expanded beverage offerings will provide tremendous growth opportunity."

Can I just say that I am sooooo thankful that the nearest Krispy Kreme is a 30 min drive. That would not be a good thing!!

Just so that we are FULLY informed, here is the actual breakdown for a 12oz Frozen Blended drink.

Raspberry : 430 calories; 13 fat grams
Original Kreme: 440 calories; 15 fat grams
Double chocolate: 440 calories; 16 fat grams.

That 12 oz. double chocolate would be a whopping 10 points!!

Thanks so much fast food industry!

Wow.. I can't imaging using up 1/2 of my calories for the day in a drink... Luckily I don't like these kinds of things to begin with so I think I'll be ok.

Have you ever checked the stats on a DQ blizzard?? Woah Nellie.. Thats really scary!

Who said you have to have a krispee kreme near you? I don't know if it's because we live in podunkville or what but they are in just about every grocery store and wal-mart around. But luckily I don't really much care for doughnuts much anymore and the thought of drinking a doughnut turns my stomach.
