Overpriced American crap masquerading as doughnuts. The price is ridiculous, the taste is disgusting and they are usually eaten by people with no sense of taste. Coming in numerous “flavours”, presumably to
get people to continue trying them to find one that tastes other than sickeningly
sweet. The company was founded by Vernon Rudolf in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1937 and has gone worldwide and downhill ever since. Apart from its revolting products the company is also well-known for its IPO and accounting scandals and is very quick to slope shoulders and
drop the blame on someone. At the
time of writing interest has been shown in its acquisition by the private
German investment company JAB Beech, interesting as the company appears to have no outlets in Germany and, if they’ve got any sense, it never will have.
