This is a quote from an article about Buffett and Krispy Creme:

"Meanwhile, Krispy Kreme entered into a joint venture with pop star Jimmy Buffett and his company, which operates Margaritaville restaurants in the South. The joint venture is named KreMaritta."

The entire article can be seen here:

...or you can just do a search on Google for "Jimmy Buffett" and "Krispy Kreme".

I wish someone in Newcastle would go in business with Krispy Kreme

Sydney now has 3 outlets, it is our turn!

In my hometown, Jacksonville FLA, when I was in highschool, we would go to KK and wait as the donuts were glazed and eat them hot and still VERY STICKY...with a diet coke! Nothing beats a krispy kreme right off the assembly line.

Proud founder of Teme Krispy Kreme...

I saw that one too! a dozen in two days!!

man talkin about light weight, I can eat a dozen before I get the change. Speaking of which, those little jewels are getting pricey. Does anyone remember when you had to wait for the HOT HOT HOT light to come on? Now it's so mechanized there always hot, not a good thing for me anyway, it might explain this weight gain....naw, it was too much tequila (or not quite enough)

I know the light you speak of.

Cassett Ave...WAY too close to home for my waistline.

I can't remember where I heard it but I think LuLu is married to (or dating) a Krispy Kreme exec.

HOT DONUTS NOW

I've never had a hot one. I've bought a coupe of dozen as part of fund raisers and so far I don't see what's so special.

jimolliemom · Post by **jimolliemom** » May 20, 2004 8:31 am

Seriously???? I guess they have to be fresh and hot to make the difference. These things can melt they are SO soft. YUM...

This isn't helping me at all. There are NO KK here. There is only one doughnut shoppe in all of Paris. And it's
