    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."

    I'm thinkin'! Sometimes the rich DO get richer, and the fat DO get fatter..... Crazy.

    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.
