Well, you seem to be in a pretty small minority, at least in this country!
KK is the fastest-growing purveyor of gut bombs, outpacing those sugarheads at Dunkin' Donuts by about three to one! It's a cultish thing.....
It sounds like maybe you've only tried their "original" glazed donut, perhaps? While quite tasty, it is only one of a whole bunch of flab-inducers that they fry up daily, most of them mighty yummy IMO. You can live off of three Krispy Kremes and H20 for a day or so, easily. The key thing is not to do that...!
(Classic content: donuts = vintage American junk food)
Cheers & sugar buzzes,

(Not to be confused with Panteras...)
(Athough, they're kind of an interesting car, but I digress....).
