This spring, after an absence of almost eight years, the first of several planned Krispy Kreme Doughnut shops is scheduled to open in the Houston area, reigniting an ancient dispute, as the following recent city-data.com posts reveal:
Krispy Kreme is thick and too cake-like. Tastes like cardboard to me. —Texas7
Shipley's is low quality. Tastes just like the cardboard box it came out of. —SouthernBoy205
Nothing beats KK right out of the fryer with ice-cold milk. —Rougejoker
Krispy Kreme isn't sweet at all. It's one of those, take a bite and then hold the thing a foot away from you with a puzzled look going, “This is supposed to be good, right?” —DejaBlue
Sorry, but Shipley's tastes like crap compared to KK. —RVD26
Shipley’s ran Dunkin’ and Krispy Kreme out of town once and they will do it again. —DJboutit
Krispy Kreme will always be more popular. —megaman
Shipley’s is Houston trash. —NewMom03
Shipley’s has a funny smell to me. —I Love North Carolina
What do you think? Who makes the best donut in town?
