The only doughnuts that I would wait in line for 2 and a half hours for are Tim Horton's doughnuts. Those are little round pastries of awesome right there.
Krispy Kreme's? Not so much.
While at Anime Central in Chicago last year, I was at the creator of Trigun's panel. He had mentioned this very phenomenon in Japan, they love Krispy Kreme for some apparent reason.
Aah, I travelled to the other side of the continent for Krispy Kreme, but I didn't have to wait 2 hours! They aren't really that great, I think Donut King is better.
IT'S DOUGHNUT! WHY CAN THE STORES IN AUSTRALIA NOT SAY 'DOUGHNUT'?

Krispy Kreme's donuts aren't nearly good enough to wait in line for. One opened up in my city and then closed down about a month or two later. All the little local donut bakeries around here kicked the crap out of them.

Agreed. They're too damn sweet so it's like you waited only to take a bite and think... I waited for this? Ugh.

Same thing happened here.
Although, they're pretty popular in the Midwest I guess. I was in Chicago a couple summers ago and saw a ton of them. I guess it varies on location.

I never really cared for Krispy Kreme,I'm more of a Dunkin' Donuts person.

I don't think that 2 hours is worth waiting for donuts...
