00:00:06 ◼   ► [Music]

00:00:16 ◼   ► you know what sugar in this there's

00:00:18 ◼   ► there enough sugar what we're about to

00:00:19 ◼   ► do

00:00:31 ◼   ► coffee's ready okay let's do it

00:00:36 ◼   ► took us two trips out well one trip out

00:00:39 ◼   ► to find these things these circles of

00:00:45 ◼   ► fat and sugar so today's show is about

00:00:48 ◼   ► circles of fat and sugar actually many

00:00:50 ◼   ► of them are heart shaped right now yeah

00:00:51 ◼   ► they are they are festive holiday heart

00:00:55 ◼   ► shaped seasonality we Dunkin Donuts is

00:00:58 ◼   ► the like the only donuts around here I

00:01:01 ◼   ► don't know what's up with our area but

00:01:04 ◼   ► we don't really have that many donut

00:01:05 ◼   ► places when I lived in Massachusetts

00:01:08 ◼   ► there were Dunkin Donuts everywhere I

00:01:10 ◼   ► believe it's because their home bases in

00:01:12 ◼   ► Massachusetts but I lived in Beverly and

00:01:15 ◼   ► they were probably like 5 or 7 Dunkin

00:01:19 ◼   ► Donuts locations and so I thought it

00:01:22 ◼   ► would be pretty easy to find Dunkin

00:01:23 ◼   ► Donuts around here we have them nearby

00:01:25 ◼   ► but they're really Shady

00:01:28 ◼   ► is there such a thing as a nice Dunkin

00:01:30 ◼   ► Donuts location I don't know I thought

00:01:32 ◼   ► there were more flavors I was hoping in

00:01:34 ◼   ► this episode we would have like 6 boxes

00:01:36 ◼   ► of donuts to join but we only have one

00:01:39 ◼   ► and a half boxes of donuts to dry yeah

00:01:41 ◼   ► it turns out we went to the first

00:01:43 ◼   ► location that we that was closest to us

00:01:44 ◼   ► and the the racks were there was you

00:01:47 ◼   ► know not as many as we expected and we

00:01:49 ◼   ► thought ok let's go to a bigger one so

00:01:51 ◼   ► we went back into the car went to a

00:01:53 ◼   ► second location went to a bigger one so

00:01:55 ◼   ► that we could review as many donuts as

00:01:56 ◼   ► possible and it turns out it just seems

00:01:59 ◼   ► like they don't really have a lot of

00:02:01 ◼   ► flavors at once they have a lot of total

00:02:03 ◼   ► flavors if you go like year-round and

00:02:05 ◼   ► you can get all the seasonal ones but it

00:02:07 ◼   ► seems like at any given time there's

00:02:09 ◼   ► only a very relatively small number of

00:02:12 ◼   ► flavors you can get I feel like the ones

00:02:14 ◼   ► near Boston the ones of a Massachusetts

00:02:15 ◼   ► though were much more well stocked when

00:02:18 ◼   ► it came to flavors because my favorite

00:02:20 ◼   ► Dunkin Donuts dona is not here and I

00:02:22 ◼   ► remember it being year-round so I might

00:02:24 ◼   ► need to add it into the race through my

00:02:26 ◼   ► mind I'm not sure that's fair because

00:02:29 ◼   ► it's probably a lot better in your mind

00:02:30 ◼   ► than it really is

00:02:31 ◼   ► it doesn't matter ok it wins by not

00:02:34 ◼   ► being here it's like these are bad then

00:02:37 ◼   ► that might indicate yeah exactly it's

00:02:38 ◼   ► like you know

00:02:39 ◼   ► it wasn't shown to be bad so it's

00:02:42 ◼   ► therefore better hmm okay but yeah I

00:02:46 ◼   ► won't reveal that I think until the end

00:02:47 ◼   ► what my favorite might because it's

00:02:49 ◼   ► definitely not represented here we found

00:02:51 ◼   ► it funny that when we picked up the

00:02:53 ◼   ► donuts and we are like we'll take one of

00:02:55 ◼   ► one of each right we we should just give

00:02:58 ◼   ► us one of every flavor really give us

00:02:59 ◼   ► one of everything and the guy was like

00:03:01 ◼   ► well how many is that and we're like I

00:03:03 ◼   ► don't know you are the one that's here

00:03:06 ◼   ► at the Dunkin Donuts don't you know how

00:03:08 ◼   ► many did you have

00:03:09 ◼   ► let's take one of every donut so that's

00:03:11 ◼   ► what we did we have one of every donut

00:03:13 ◼   ► plus two of each munchkin which they

00:03:17 ◼   ► only have three flavors of now it seems

00:03:19 ◼   ► like they eliminated the plane munchkin

00:03:20 ◼   ► well because whoever wanted that first

00:03:22 ◼   ► of all I mean do we add that everyone

00:03:23 ◼   ► always had the leftover box of plane

00:03:25 ◼   ► munchkins we don't even oh we do have

00:03:27 ◼   ► the old-fashioned donut which i think is

00:03:29 ◼   ► a fitting nekkid donut yeah it's like a

00:03:31 ◼   ► donut with just no glaze or otherwise

00:03:34 ◼   ► coatings on it which is funny cuz I

00:03:36 ◼   ► think after all of this sugar bomb

00:03:37 ◼   ► because we have one here that's full of

00:03:39 ◼   ► cookie dough covered in chocolate and

00:03:42 ◼   ► topped with chocolate chips yes the the

00:03:44 ◼   ► cookie dough donut we also have the

00:03:46 ◼   ► brownie batter donut oh no it's the

00:03:48 ◼   ► brownie battered cronut we no no that's

00:03:51 ◼   ► a donut we have three here we have the

00:03:53 ◼   ► cookie dough donut uh-huh and then the

00:03:56 ◼   ► cupids choice donut I don't know what

00:03:59 ◼   ► China well it shows I guess we'll find

00:04:00 ◼   ► out yeah and then this over here is the

00:04:02 ◼   ► brownie batter donut Browdy brownie

00:04:04 ◼   ► batter donut looks exactly like the

00:04:06 ◼   ► Boston cream donut yes there's literally

00:04:08 ◼   ► no T the only way we know which one is

00:04:09 ◼   ► which is their placement in the box at

00:04:11 ◼   ► the order because I took a picture of

00:04:12 ◼   ► the rack and they they put them in the

00:04:14 ◼   ► box in order so now we know which is

00:04:15 ◼   ► which we D whirl thing over there that

00:04:19 ◼   ► I'm sure that tastes just like coffee

00:04:21 ◼   ► that I really like jelly donut so I'm

00:04:23 ◼   ► looking forward to that one

00:04:24 ◼   ► I know it's one of us but they usually

00:04:27 ◼   ► don't put enough jelly in the jelly

00:04:29 ◼   ► donut they like have like one little

00:04:30 ◼   ► squirt in the middle and it's then it's

00:04:32 ◼   ► all weird oh god no any amount is too

00:04:34 ◼   ► much you don't like filled Donuts no I

00:04:36 ◼   ► am anti filled Donuts I can already tell

00:04:40 ◼   ► you the most likely one of my favorites

00:04:42 ◼   ► is going to be the regular glazed yeah I

00:04:45 ◼   ► mean how can you deny the regular what

00:04:47 ◼   ► about that swirly what's that one the

00:04:48 ◼   ► the French cruller Oh French cruller I

00:04:51 ◼   ► don't know I don't know how it's

00:04:52 ◼   ► pronounced

00:04:52 ◼   ► I've always called their French

00:04:53 ◼   ► it might be a Long Island thing it's

00:04:55 ◼   ► spelled cruller I don't know but you

00:04:57 ◼   ► know if it's French then the spelling

00:04:58 ◼   ► has nothing to do with how it's

00:04:59 ◼   ► pronounced and we don't even have any

00:05:00 ◼   ► bear claws like they didn't have any

00:05:02 ◼   ► bear claws you have that what's the rod

00:05:04 ◼   ► one called

00:05:04 ◼   ► the the one that has I think the the

00:05:07 ◼   ► best worst name here the plane stick

00:05:10 ◼   ► don't stick please yeah it looks like a

00:05:15 ◼   ► glazed twist like they used in the city

00:05:17 ◼   ► they have those giant twists know what

00:05:19 ◼   ► I'm talking about yeah and then they

00:05:21 ◼   ► also have like they have a I feel like

00:05:22 ◼   ► they have so many different ones I'm

00:05:24 ◼   ► disappointed with our selection because

00:05:27 ◼   ► it's it's a lot of it looks like a lot

00:05:28 ◼   ► of repetition but I mean Dunkin Donuts

00:05:30 ◼   ► isn't great and we wish we had like a

00:05:32 ◼   ► better donut place something like I

00:05:35 ◼   ► think they're in Portland the voodoo

00:05:37 ◼   ► donuts that everyone raves and raves

00:05:39 ◼   ► about how amazing they are

00:05:42 ◼   ► manaphy oh right probably but I don't

00:05:45 ◼   ► even know where there's a Krispy Kreme

00:05:46 ◼   ► around here so I haven't seen a Krispy

00:05:48 ◼   ► Kreme at all around here I've also I've

00:05:52 ◼   ► only had Krispy Kreme donuts on a few

00:05:54 ◼   ► occasions and only the glazed one yeah

00:05:56 ◼   ► it seems like the only one that most

00:05:58 ◼   ► people ever get is the glazed one if

00:06:00 ◼   ► this is like if it's like in a box in a

00:06:01 ◼   ► store or like you know some other bakery

00:06:04 ◼   ► I've never actually do they have their

00:06:05 ◼   ► own stores Krispy Kreme yeah they do and

00:06:07 ◼   ► they have like a special light that

00:06:08 ◼   ► turns on when the donuts are fresh and

00:06:09 ◼   ► you're supposed to like flock like

00:06:10 ◼   ► lemmings to the donuts that's a little

00:06:13 ◼   ► bit too creepy even for me yeah it's

00:06:14 ◼   ► like if the light is on the donuts are

00:06:16 ◼   ► fresh everyone to the Krispy Kreme Wow

00:06:19 ◼   ► alright so let's get into this we have I

00:06:23 ◼   ► guess we might as well go in the order

00:06:25 ◼   ► in which they are on the rack so we'll

00:06:26 ◼   ► start out they have across the top the 3

00:06:29 ◼   ► main core frosted flavors vanilla

00:06:32 ◼   ► chocolate I mean yeah a vanilla

00:06:33 ◼   ► chocolate and strawberry frosted donuts

00:06:35 ◼   ► right so on the bottom is just regular

00:06:37 ◼   ► donut dough unglazed but frosted done

00:06:41 ◼   ► glazed oh yeah that's weird

00:06:42 ◼   ► of course all right so let's let's give

00:06:44 ◼   ► it a try here all right we're two

00:06:45 ◼   ► cutting sections out yes we're not gonna

00:06:47 ◼   ► be consuming entire Donuts because we

00:06:48 ◼   ► have 18 donut flavors to try and rank we

00:06:53 ◼   ► thought it would be a good idea since we

00:06:55 ◼   ► had a coffee episode to follow up with

00:06:57 ◼   ► Donuts because coffee and donuts go so

00:07:00 ◼   ► well together although we did not try

00:07:02 ◼   ► Dunkin Donuts coffee you know as it is

00:07:04 ◼   ► the worst coffee I've ever had in my

00:07:06 ◼   ► life

00:07:07 ◼   ► so instead we brewed real coffee right

00:07:09 ◼   ► here and we'll be drinking that instead

00:07:11 ◼   ► okay so let's look at this leg maryberry

00:07:13 ◼   ► would let's see I know there's there's a

00:07:16 ◼   ► big gap on the top it is bubble there's

00:07:19 ◼   ► a big bubble so the bake is only so-so

00:07:21 ◼   ► ooh I don't like it hmm maybe I do like

00:07:25 ◼   ► it

00:07:25 ◼   ► I mean to me this is like the

00:07:28 ◼   ► quintessential Dunkin Donuts flavor you

00:07:30 ◼   ► have like sugary rich icing on top of

00:07:33 ◼   ► relatively average donut it's fine it

00:07:36 ◼   ► you know most of what you're tasting is

00:07:37 ◼   ► the icing mm-hmm

00:07:39 ◼   ► it's not offensive to me at all no at

00:07:43 ◼   ► first it had like a kind of gross

00:07:44 ◼   ► vanilla flavor but then when I got into

00:07:46 ◼   ► it it kind of melded with the plain cake

00:07:49 ◼   ► doughnut so it wasn't so bad yeah I mean

00:07:52 ◼   ► it's fine like I I consider that vanilla

00:07:54 ◼   ► donut to be like if there were a box of

00:07:56 ◼   ► donuts next to some coffee and I wanted

00:07:58 ◼   ► like a sugary snack with my coffee and

00:08:00 ◼   ► that was like the only one left I take

00:08:01 ◼   ► that mmm I know I'd be fine with that

00:08:03 ◼   ► all right next up is the chocolate

00:08:06 ◼   ► frosted donut so baked is better on this

00:08:08 ◼   ► one there's no gap yeah so basically the

00:08:10 ◼   ► exact same donut as we had a minute ago

00:08:12 ◼   ► but with chocolate instead of vanilla

00:08:13 ◼   ► frosting I don't see how this is yeah

00:08:15 ◼   ► that's worse yeah I agree I would say

00:08:18 ◼   ► the chocolate frosting I'm not much of a

00:08:21 ◼   ► chocolate for breakfast person in

00:08:22 ◼   ► general I think is weird but this in

00:08:25 ◼   ► particular I think this particular

00:08:27 ◼   ► chocolate is a little strange yeah it's

00:08:30 ◼   ► not appealing it's not like if you

00:08:33 ◼   ► craved chocolate you wouldn't want that

00:08:35 ◼   ► like you would want a better chocolate

00:08:36 ◼   ► than the head no I don't quite know what

00:08:38 ◼   ► that was I prefer the I prefer the

00:08:41 ◼   ► vanilla for that one oh by a lot yeah

00:08:43 ◼   ► all right so I'm pretty sure that's not

00:08:44 ◼   ► making our top fours all right no all

00:08:45 ◼   ► right here comes one of my favorite

00:08:47 ◼   ► donuts here comes the strawberry iced

00:08:49 ◼   ► donut and we should point it also TIFF

00:08:51 ◼   ► hates sprinkles I like sprinkles we have

00:08:53 ◼   ► chosen two to satisfy TIFF because many

00:08:56 ◼   ► of the other flavors are only available

00:08:58 ◼   ► in sprinkles so we have a lot of

00:08:59 ◼   ► sprinkles coming up so these top three

00:09:01 ◼   ► we're actually we're actually doing

00:09:03 ◼   ► without sprinkles sprinkles are

00:09:04 ◼   ► available for those who like sprinkles

00:09:06 ◼   ► but I don't think it really changes the

00:09:08 ◼   ► overall taste of the doughnut I just

00:09:09 ◼   ► don't like sprinkles because they hurt

00:09:10 ◼   ► my teeth yeah I think it's it mostly

00:09:12 ◼   ► just changes the texture because

00:09:14 ◼   ► sprinkles aren't you know it would be

00:09:16 ◼   ► hard to meaningfully overpower the

00:09:18 ◼   ► incredibly strong flavor of the frosting

00:09:21 ◼   ► on

00:09:21 ◼   ► okay so this is like a medium bake here

00:09:23 ◼   ► like not as holy as the vanilla one but

00:09:27 ◼   ► not as bad consistency you know ya know

00:09:29 ◼   ► it looks really good so strawberry

00:09:30 ◼   ► strawberry frosted let's go mmm tastes

00:09:33 ◼   ► like crappy powdered strawberry syrup

00:09:38 ◼   ► like if you made Nestle click strawberry

00:09:40 ◼   ► milk yeah that's what it tastes like

00:09:43 ◼   ► similar to the vanilla very similar to

00:09:45 ◼   ► the vanilla in overall appeal it's a

00:09:47 ◼   ► basic donut with some very rich frosting

00:09:49 ◼   ► on top you're mostly tasting the

00:09:50 ◼   ► frosting and it tastes like garbage

00:09:54 ◼   ► satisfaction yeah the berry doesn't

00:09:57 ◼   ► taste it tastes like powdered synthetic

00:10:00 ◼   ► versions of these flavors and not actual

00:10:02 ◼   ► vanilla chocolate or strawberry and

00:10:05 ◼   ► that's not necessarily you know a

00:10:06 ◼   ► horrible thing I mean that is a lot of

00:10:08 ◼   ► times that's what you're going for like

00:10:09 ◼   ► when you want that when you want like

00:10:11 ◼   ► some really indulgent junk food you kind

00:10:13 ◼   ► of want that so I get that it's I don't

00:10:16 ◼   ► love any of those but again if if I

00:10:18 ◼   ► wanted a donut and those were the only

00:10:20 ◼   ► flavors around

00:10:21 ◼   ► I think I'd honestly I would probably

00:10:22 ◼   ► skip the chocolate yeah I wouldn't do

00:10:24 ◼   ► chocolate but between between the

00:10:25 ◼   ► vanilla and strawberry I think I prefer

00:10:27 ◼   ► the vanilla slightly but it's it's a

00:10:29 ◼   ► close call I like the visual appeal the

00:10:31 ◼   ► pink one it very much reminds me of like

00:10:33 ◼   ► the Simpsons donut

00:10:34 ◼   ► well they need sprinkles though you

00:10:35 ◼   ► can't you that's true all right so next

00:10:38 ◼   ► up we have good the glazed coffee roll

00:10:41 ◼   ► which looks just like a cinnamon roll

00:10:43 ◼   ► with glaze on top so let's say you even

00:10:44 ◼   ► look like a cinnamon roll because

00:10:45 ◼   ► there's no cinnamon it's like a swirly

00:10:47 ◼   ► solid doughnut with the big with glaze

00:10:51 ◼   ► on top this is 400 calories what the

00:10:55 ◼   ► first three are like to 80 to 70 to 80

00:10:58 ◼   ► this is 400 because it's a lot larger

00:11:00 ◼   ► like there's a lot more why I think it's

00:11:02 ◼   ► 400 calories yeah this is one of the

00:11:04 ◼   ► reasons why we don't do this every day

00:11:05 ◼   ► it's a cinnamon roll out of donut dough

00:11:08 ◼   ► instead of like I said that's pretty

00:11:10 ◼   ► good yeah it's pretty good it was better

00:11:12 ◼   ► before the calorie count but I think

00:11:14 ◼   ► it's I enjoy that quite a bit because I

00:11:17 ◼   ► as I like regular glazed doughnuts this

00:11:20 ◼   ► is almost a regular glazed doughnut with

00:11:23 ◼   ► a little too it is literal yes it's a

00:11:25 ◼   ► twisted up doughnut with slight cinnamon

00:11:27 ◼   ► ting I think on the inside maybe overall

00:11:29 ◼   ► not bad layered cross-section yeah yeah

00:11:33 ◼   ► that one again if

00:11:35 ◼   ► if I wanted a four hundred calorie

00:11:36 ◼   ► breakfast that wouldn't even fill me up

00:11:37 ◼   ► I'd go with that oh my god you would be

00:11:39 ◼   ► hungry in like 20 minutes and the only

00:11:42 ◼   ► thing available would be more of these

00:11:43 ◼   ► oh this is such a bad idea

00:11:47 ◼   ► alright so it's alright will not go

00:11:51 ◼   ► running later like we should do we run

00:11:55 ◼   ► no no we couldn't run enough in a day to

00:11:58 ◼   ► burn off what we're doing to ourselves

00:12:00 ◼   ► here alright so this is all for you

00:12:02 ◼   ► people it's for you our dear audience we

00:12:05 ◼   ► are putting ourselves through this for

00:12:07 ◼   ► you because we are journalists this is

00:12:11 ◼   ► the important role journalism serves in

00:12:13 ◼   ► society right here alright so next up is

00:12:16 ◼   ► the fudge croissant doughnut also 400

00:12:19 ◼   ► calories and this is one of this is the

00:12:21 ◼   ► bank gonna say it's a cronut

00:12:23 ◼   ► oh is that what currents are croissant

00:12:25 ◼   ► doughnut mm-hmm I never knew that I've

00:12:26 ◼   ► never I don't think I've ever had I

00:12:27 ◼   ► probably don't think this is a great

00:12:29 ◼   ► version of a cronut but we'll think so

00:12:31 ◼   ► and this one this is the first of a few

00:12:33 ◼   ► here that is actually a higher price

00:12:35 ◼   ► actually it's the only one yeah we were

00:12:37 ◼   ► told that when we were or we're checking

00:12:39 ◼   ► out the cells boy he was actually a boy

00:12:43 ◼   ► the sales boy I don't know what do you

00:12:45 ◼   ► say like the cashier I mean like he was

00:12:48 ◼   ► like I don't kid the Dunkin Donuts

00:12:50 ◼   ► employee the doughnut artist I don't

00:12:52 ◼   ► know what the doughnut ISTA that's

00:12:56 ◼   ► that's definitely what they call them

00:12:58 ◼   ► you yeah doughnut Easter okay so the

00:12:59 ◼   ► donut eater told us you wanted to warn

00:13:01 ◼   ► us that that this one actually costs

00:13:03 ◼   ► more this is with 289 I don't know

00:13:05 ◼   ► whatever regular denim is like a dollar

00:13:06 ◼   ► something

00:13:07 ◼   ► that's it on the thing we use got the

00:13:09 ◼   ► dozen so we just as the calories you pay

00:13:12 ◼   ► in calories yeah yes you do

00:13:15 ◼   ► yeah I mean the whole thing getting all

00:13:16 ◼   ► these flavors getting 18 different

00:13:18 ◼   ► flavors of things with 12 bucks that's a

00:13:20 ◼   ► lot better than our coffee

00:13:21 ◼   ► yeah all right so this is it has much

00:13:24 ◼   ► croissant doughnut the only it looks

00:13:26 ◼   ► crispy in the in the mix I think and it

00:13:29 ◼   ► has like flaky glaze and a layer of like

00:13:32 ◼   ► chocolate goop it's and it's dual color

00:13:34 ◼   ► icing to date they dated you know little

00:13:36 ◼   ► zigzag back and forth icing dribbles on

00:13:38 ◼   ► top of both brown and white and it's

00:13:40 ◼   ► glazed though it's glazed below that so

00:13:43 ◼   ► I can see where this got it's 400

00:13:44 ◼   ► calories for a black happening

00:13:46 ◼   ► see my teeth hurt so much already I just

00:13:51 ◼   ► tastes like sugar there's too much in

00:13:52 ◼   ► there because the chocolate tastes more

00:13:54 ◼   ► like like a sugary thing than an actual

00:13:58 ◼   ► chocolate thing so that that was labeled

00:14:00 ◼   ► fudge croissant doughnuts oh I guess

00:14:01 ◼   ► you're supposed to be tasting

00:14:02 ◼   ► significant chocolate honestly I didn't

00:14:04 ◼   ► just like you want another wedge no just

00:14:09 ◼   ► like you I think it's it's mostly what

00:14:11 ◼   ► you're tasting is is sugar and glazed

00:14:12 ◼   ► and that to me honestly that's a pretty

00:14:15 ◼   ► poor use of 400 calories oh yeah we are

00:14:19 ◼   ► doing a good job here okay and people

00:14:22 ◼   ► wonder if we always get the question and

00:14:24 ◼   ► people actually listen to that when we

00:14:26 ◼   ► tell them about our podcast yeah we'll

00:14:28 ◼   ► see yes they do

00:14:29 ◼   ► the real trick is whether whatever we do

00:14:31 ◼   ► next has any listeners left after we do

00:14:33 ◼   ► this well we should promise something

00:14:35 ◼   ► big

00:14:35 ◼   ► after this all right next up is the

00:14:39 ◼   ► Boston cream donut now this one is my

00:14:43 ◼   ► least favorite donut this is many

00:14:45 ◼   ► people's most favorite donut says this

00:14:47 ◼   ► is controversy with you know me and TIFF

00:14:49 ◼   ► not necessarily liking Phil well I don't

00:14:51 ◼   ► like filled doughnuts usually ever TIFF

00:14:53 ◼   ► doesn't seem to like cream right is it

00:14:54 ◼   ► just cream filled doughnuts you don't

00:14:55 ◼   ► like yeah there's just something about

00:14:57 ◼   ► the whole Boston cream thing that I

00:15:00 ◼   ► don't find that appealing I mean like if

00:15:02 ◼   ► it's there and I really need a doughnut

00:15:04 ◼   ► I'll eat it you just dissected okay so

00:15:06 ◼   ► the heart shape it's heart shaped I cut

00:15:08 ◼   ► off one of like the top lobes of the

00:15:10 ◼   ► heart and there's no cream in it at all

00:15:12 ◼   ► so let me see you bet you gotta find the

00:15:15 ◼   ► cream he's excavating oh god it's

00:15:17 ◼   ► everywhere all right here's a pretty

00:15:21 ◼   ► large piece I kind of have to take a

00:15:23 ◼   ► large piece to get any cream okay thanks

00:15:26 ◼   ► oh my god how do you cut a second piece

00:15:28 ◼   ► of it on the piece that's empty yeah

00:15:38 ◼   ► just dip it like yeah how would you how

00:15:41 ◼   ► would you eat this like in a car or

00:15:43 ◼   ► something with no oh it's just when you

00:15:44 ◼   ► bite them they squirt it out don't they

00:15:46 ◼   ► uh why would you want that it is my best

00:15:50 ◼   ► friend's favorite doughnut and I

00:15:51 ◼   ► understand why because it's the opposite

00:15:53 ◼   ► of what I like the best so it like I

00:15:57 ◼   ► understand the extremes I don't

00:15:59 ◼   ► understand

00:16:00 ◼   ► middle of the road this is like yeah I

00:16:02 ◼   ► got to eat this before it falls apart

00:16:03 ◼   ► all right here we go

00:16:04 ◼   ► all right normally I like sprinkles I

00:16:06 ◼   ► don't like these sprinkles these really

00:16:08 ◼   ► do hurt my teeth like these are these

00:16:10 ◼   ► like the giant heart sprinkles for I

00:16:12 ◼   ► guess flat and they're like they're just

00:16:14 ◼   ► like sugar flat little things okay yeah

00:16:18 ◼   ► these these are not pleasant sprinkles I

00:16:19 ◼   ► like the regular little like rod kind

00:16:21 ◼   ► that they have like year-round normally

00:16:22 ◼   ► I actually like that better than I

00:16:24 ◼   ► thought I would can I stick my finger in

00:16:26 ◼   ► it filling my tastes just the filling it

00:16:33 ◼   ► doesn't taste like much so far none of

00:16:36 ◼   ► these donuts really have a very unique

00:16:38 ◼   ► flavor to themselves no it's really it's

00:16:40 ◼   ► really disappointing I was actually kind

00:16:41 ◼   ► of suspecting that this might happen see

00:16:43 ◼   ► where we're helping we're saving the

00:16:45 ◼   ► world from actually debating and

00:16:46 ◼   ► agonizing over what donut to get when

00:16:48 ◼   ► your ads aankhen Donuts because they all

00:16:50 ◼   ► taste the same yeah you really don't

00:16:52 ◼   ► have to care just pick your favorite

00:16:53 ◼   ► color and move along you're basically

00:16:56 ◼   ► picking the topping yeah but even the

00:16:57 ◼   ► toppings feel pretty similar yeah I mean

00:17:00 ◼   ► like of Letha the three main icing

00:17:02 ◼   ► flavors like what yeah what nice great I

00:17:08 ◼   ► scraped off the top of the sprinkles and

00:17:11 ◼   ► then for some reason was sitting on my

00:17:12 ◼   ► plate and I just like mindlessly just

00:17:14 ◼   ► popped it into my mouth look what these

00:17:15 ◼   ► doughnuts are doing to me they made you

00:17:16 ◼   ► eat extra sprinkles they're making me a

00:17:18 ◼   ► monster coffee coffee all right moving

00:17:22 ◼   ► along moving so next up we have that was

00:17:25 ◼   ► Boston cream next up we have the cookie

00:17:28 ◼   ► dough donut which sounds insane so let's

00:17:32 ◼   ► see this is also heart-shaped this one

00:17:33 ◼   ► has brown chocolate chip sprinkles and

00:17:36 ◼   ► chocolate icing

00:17:36 ◼   ► I need another napkin I'm covered in

00:17:38 ◼   ► chocolate can you get me once right now

00:17:42 ◼   ► I'm putting the at least that coffee one

00:17:44 ◼   ► but coffee swirly one had something

00:17:47 ◼   ► different tasting all right new plates

00:17:49 ◼   ► reset we've gone through one we've gone

00:17:52 ◼   ► through six Donuts yep all right

00:17:55 ◼   ► I'm not feeling that sick yet just a

00:17:58 ◼   ► little bit sick oh I need some coffee

00:18:00 ◼   ► all right yeah

00:18:03 ◼   ► or any another cup of coffee I'll finish

00:18:07 ◼   ► all the messy ones on the plate like

00:18:09 ◼   ► cream and chocolate and cookie dough

00:18:11 ◼   ► filled yeah the the last few

00:18:13 ◼   ► it kind of amps down I think I hope so

00:18:17 ◼   ► well and we're finishing off with the

00:18:18 ◼   ► Munchkins which are they're like little

00:18:19 ◼   ► round donut hole things now we're

00:18:21 ◼   ► finishing off with those and the plane

00:18:24 ◼   ► and the chocolate I think I might just

00:18:25 ◼   ► prefer them because there's less that's

00:18:27 ◼   ► it yeah well the reality is like when I

00:18:29 ◼   ► eat a donut I want really like the

00:18:32 ◼   ► crispy outside part the inside I really

00:18:34 ◼   ► I don't really care about and so that's

00:18:35 ◼   ► why I like I like things like the twist

00:18:37 ◼   ► or like the doughnut hole things the

00:18:39 ◼   ► Munchkins where like you're really

00:18:41 ◼   ► getting a lot more surface area than

00:18:43 ◼   ► just like a filled doughnut or a ring

00:18:45 ◼   ► mm-hmm or a torus excuse me here's

00:18:48 ◼   ► another heart-shaped one yes so there's

00:18:49 ◼   ► our chasuble filled cookie dough

00:18:51 ◼   ► doughnut it is 380 calories I see the

00:18:53 ◼   ► hole on this side

00:18:54 ◼   ► oh the fill hole look at that all right

00:18:55 ◼   ► I'm sure to cut down the middle on this

00:18:57 ◼   ► one okay

00:18:57 ◼   ► and we try to subdivide from there all

00:19:03 ◼   ► right so how did it get all the way over

00:19:05 ◼   ► there there's literally like one line it

00:19:08 ◼   ► looks like of filling you know so the

00:19:12 ◼   ► vast majority of this doughnut is just

00:19:13 ◼   ► dough and there's like a little tiny

00:19:15 ◼   ► area in the heart it's like by like the

00:19:17 ◼   ► upper crest where that where the two but

00:19:19 ◼   ► parts meet it that has a butt crack of

00:19:21 ◼   ► the heart yeah that is the only place

00:19:23 ◼   ► where this filling so I guess we'll cut

00:19:24 ◼   ► this part but that's so much filling oh

00:19:27 ◼   ► oh my gosh there's like almost nothing

00:19:30 ◼   ► take it in here no way to eat this

00:19:36 ◼   ► terrible chocolate topping all right

00:19:37 ◼   ► cookie dough doughnut I mean I guess

00:19:40 ◼   ► it's okay but why it again it doesn't

00:19:43 ◼   ► taste like much it tastes mostly just

00:19:44 ◼   ► like sugar and dough the cookie dough

00:19:47 ◼   ► flavor is there but pretty weak yeah

00:19:49 ◼   ► there's hardly anything in it nope it's

00:19:53 ◼   ► just these are just too boring yeah I

00:19:55 ◼   ► would say this is again looks like this

00:19:57 ◼   ► is a waste of almost 400 calories like

00:19:59 ◼   ► if you're gonna if you're gonna have

00:20:01 ◼   ► something decadent I'd want I wanted to

00:20:03 ◼   ► be better than that all right let's see

00:20:04 ◼   ► what's in cupid here all right so this

00:20:06 ◼   ► is Cupid's decision what was this

00:20:07 ◼   ► Cupid's choice Cupid mistake let's see

00:20:14 ◼   ► what cheapest shows you keep its regrets

00:20:16 ◼   ► can we find the fill hole on this one

00:20:18 ◼   ► there it is all right I think yeah it's

00:20:20 ◼   ► filled with regrets there's a tire

00:20:23 ◼   ► episode I think it's built with regrets

00:20:26 ◼   ► all right so Cupid apparently chose what

00:20:28 ◼   ► appears to be Boston cream juice let's

00:20:30 ◼   ► Cupid chose what was in stock yeah it's

00:20:35 ◼   ► a night special what we had too much of

00:20:37 ◼   ► so here here is your part of Cupid's

00:20:40 ◼   ► choice so it's a pink doughnut with pink

00:20:45 ◼   ► icing heart-shaped and hearts heart

00:20:47 ◼   ► sprinkles with appear with apparently

00:20:49 ◼   ► Boston cream inside taking my heart

00:20:50 ◼   ► sprinkles off well I again I get these

00:20:53 ◼   ► pretty sprinkles a big thumbs down it's

00:20:55 ◼   ► just like a like a like a strawberry

00:20:57 ◼   ► donut with Boston cream filling so if

00:20:59 ◼   ► you like the strawberry regular donut

00:21:01 ◼   ► with Boston cream filling you would like

00:21:02 ◼   ► this that's what this is it's a nice

00:21:04 ◼   ► combo of the two yeah if you couldn't

00:21:06 ◼   ► decide which one you want then you

00:21:08 ◼   ► finally have a doughnut that has it all

00:21:10 ◼   ► for you but again all being kind of the

00:21:13 ◼   ► same yeah there's like there's no

00:21:16 ◼   ► variation so little filling in them Wow

00:21:19 ◼   ► I think either we have really terrible

00:21:22 ◼   ► Dunkin donut locations here okay do they

00:21:25 ◼   ► bake them or do they get shipped in

00:21:27 ◼   ► first of all I think they're fried

00:21:28 ◼   ► aren't they okay they're deep-fried so

00:21:30 ◼   ► well however are they made at these

00:21:33 ◼   ► locations or they trucked in from a big

00:21:35 ◼   ► factory that's like nearby that's a good

00:21:37 ◼   ► question I mean usually with this kind

00:21:38 ◼   ► of operation like like a like chained

00:21:40 ◼   ► bagel shops usually bake on premises but

00:21:43 ◼   ► like places that have bagel like Dunkin

00:21:46 ◼   ► Donuts has bagels I doubt they bake

00:21:47 ◼   ► their bagels ever get those essentially

00:21:48 ◼   ► right I think that's it oh that's like I

00:21:50 ◼   ► don't know I mean doughnuts like all the

00:21:51 ◼   ► stuff the reason why usual reasons

00:21:53 ◼   ► they're never warm even when they

00:21:55 ◼   ► restock the trays they're never warm so

00:21:58 ◼   ► I'm thinking there's like a big bakery

00:22:00 ◼   ► warehouse somewhere and they do bake

00:22:02 ◼   ► them freshly because if you get a

00:22:04 ◼   ► day-old donut it tastes so different

00:22:06 ◼   ► than what we're eating right now but I

00:22:10 ◼   ► don't think they're doing any of it at

00:22:11 ◼   ► these locations I bet you they truck

00:22:13 ◼   ► them all in I let's hear from listeners

00:22:16 ◼   ► I would that sounds very likely

00:22:18 ◼   ► especially these locations are often

00:22:20 ◼   ► very small and that's why there's a lot

00:22:21 ◼   ► of donuts close by to each other like it

00:22:24 ◼   ► is super easy to have one big central

00:22:26 ◼   ► baking facility where they extrude and

00:22:29 ◼   ► bake big these and then they not peanuts

00:22:32 ◼   ► donuts donuts and then they you know

00:22:34 ◼   ► bring them in every morning all right

00:22:36 ◼   ► next up we have the brownie batter donut

00:22:39 ◼   ► is basically exactly what we just had

00:22:41 ◼   ► but chocolate so it's another filled

00:22:44 ◼   ► heart covered in these horrible heart

00:22:46 ◼   ► sprinkles that are impossible to chew

00:22:47 ◼   ► and this has also been kind of

00:22:50 ◼   ► half-assedly filled with with what

00:22:52 ◼   ► appears to just be you know chocolate

00:22:54 ◼   ► filling it looks like probably the same

00:22:58 ◼   ► filling as that cronut thing that was up

00:23:00 ◼   ► there that also had the chocolate

00:23:01 ◼   ► filling in there probably the same the

00:23:03 ◼   ► same stuff is that looks just like it if

00:23:05 ◼   ► anyone's ever made box brownies and then

00:23:06 ◼   ► lick the spoon it tastes like that yeah

00:23:09 ◼   ► exactly I mean it's really this is

00:23:12 ◼   ► making me think a lot less of Dunkin

00:23:14 ◼   ► Donuts and I honestly didn't think that

00:23:15 ◼   ► hired them before but the fact that

00:23:17 ◼   ► there's just there just seems like

00:23:19 ◼   ► there's like no effort it's very similar

00:23:22 ◼   ► to the accusations against Taco Bell

00:23:24 ◼   ► that they just like they just have like

00:23:27 ◼   ► the same five ingredients they just

00:23:28 ◼   ► combine in different ways to make all

00:23:30 ◼   ► the different flavors that's how this is

00:23:31 ◼   ► like all these donuts are basically the

00:23:33 ◼   ► same like three icing flavors and the

00:23:36 ◼   ► same like two dough types just remix in

00:23:39 ◼   ► different ways I think that that's why I

00:23:40 ◼   ► like the jelly donut because it feels a

00:23:42 ◼   ► little bit different like a little bit

00:23:44 ◼   ► different and I also love the chocolate

00:23:46 ◼   ► cake donut because that looking at this

00:23:49 ◼   ► now the chocolate cake donut and the

00:23:50 ◼   ► original donut are the only two that

00:23:53 ◼   ► have a different base from all the

00:23:56 ◼   ► others so so far you said it yeah as

00:23:59 ◼   ► like a halfway point here are there any

00:24:01 ◼   ► of these that you would say like are in

00:24:02 ◼   ► your top floor I've written literally

00:24:04 ◼   ► nothing down I drew a picture of a donut

00:24:07 ◼   ► just a circle let me see

00:24:10 ◼   ► okay oh you you did sprinkle the donut

00:24:13 ◼   ► that's that's iconic it's it's more of

00:24:15 ◼   ► an icon thing than a personal preference

00:24:17 ◼   ► I'm not gonna draw you know helps

00:24:18 ◼   ► distinguish it from like a bagel or

00:24:20 ◼   ► actually and I wasn't quite sure how to

00:24:23 ◼   ► draw drippy icing yet so because I don't

00:24:26 ◼   ► it's not that dimensional alright so now

00:24:30 ◼   ► we're moving into what was on the bottom

00:24:31 ◼   ► rack basically yeah like you could

00:24:34 ◼   ► barely see it over the you know over the

00:24:36 ◼   ► counter unless like you went on your

00:24:37 ◼   ► tiptoes and looked yeah but first up

00:24:39 ◼   ► we're actually gonna like these because

00:24:41 ◼   ► these look more our speed

00:24:42 ◼   ► yeah exactly so first up we have the

00:24:45 ◼   ► regular glazed donut classic and of

00:24:48 ◼   ► course they did a really half-assed job

00:24:50 ◼   ► because you can see this whole section

00:24:51 ◼   ► over here is not glazed oh it's

00:24:53 ◼   ► because they probably have them all just

00:24:54 ◼   ► next to each other and then they just

00:24:55 ◼   ► like ooze glaze all over the doughnuts

00:24:57 ◼   ► yeah like crisps I will give Krispy

00:24:59 ◼   ► kream credit for that Krispy Kreme

00:25:00 ◼   ► whatever their process is yields very

00:25:02 ◼   ► consistent even glaze I think they dip

00:25:05 ◼   ► them maybe how you feeling I feel a

00:25:09 ◼   ► little bit buzzed okay I've had very

00:25:11 ◼   ► little coffee so it's from the sugar all

00:25:13 ◼   ► right

00:25:13 ◼   ► so regular glazed donut that actually

00:25:16 ◼   ► tastes way better than all the other

00:25:17 ◼   ► ones not only is is the flavor balance

00:25:19 ◼   ► better but it's it's a better dough it's

00:25:22 ◼   ► fresher it's softer it like they

00:25:24 ◼   ► probably I mean if I had to guess this

00:25:26 ◼   ► is probably they sell the most of mm-hmm

00:25:27 ◼   ► so they probably are making them more

00:25:29 ◼   ► frequently and more freshly but this was

00:25:32 ◼   ► even this was even substantially better

00:25:34 ◼   ► than the the basic icing flavors upfront

00:25:37 ◼   ► like the regular like with vanilla icing

00:25:39 ◼   ► stuff this is way better than those yeah

00:25:40 ◼   ► I like that a lot

00:25:41 ◼   ► yeah that's I mean I can already say

00:25:43 ◼   ► that's probably gonna end up being my

00:25:45 ◼   ► number one but let's or at least like

00:25:46 ◼   ► you know maybe that maybe the doughnut

00:25:48 ◼   ► hole version of it but let's see we'll

00:25:49 ◼   ► keep moving along but that was excellent

00:25:51 ◼   ► that was that's what I want let's not

00:25:53 ◼   ► get crazy

00:25:54 ◼   ► I don't think it was excellent

00:25:56 ◼   ► relatively speaking yeah

00:25:58 ◼   ► compared to what we've been eating the

00:26:00 ◼   ► last 15 minutes that was excellent all

00:26:02 ◼   ► right all right next up is the French

00:26:04 ◼   ► cruller cruller Crowley railer however

00:26:06 ◼   ► that's pronounced that's kind of an

00:26:08 ◼   ► oblong shape here this is these aren't

00:26:10 ◼   ► the best Baker's in the world let's be

00:26:11 ◼   ► honest maybe they're doing it on

00:26:12 ◼   ► premises because they're also these are

00:26:14 ◼   ► usually more Airy Donuts give you a

00:26:17 ◼   ► larger piece of those because it's kind

00:26:18 ◼   ► of it's like a weird like twist and this

00:26:20 ◼   ► one this one is substantially lower

00:26:22 ◼   ► calorie than this is only 220 yeah the

00:26:24 ◼   ► the dough is very Airy it's almost like

00:26:27 ◼   ► um a like a funnel cake almost yeah

00:26:30 ◼   ► we're like a cream puff dough or

00:26:32 ◼   ► something maybe like a choux pastry has

00:26:35 ◼   ► they'd say yeah it tastes like eggy

00:26:37 ◼   ► doesn't it yeah it is definitely a

00:26:39 ◼   ► different dough preparation and it's

00:26:41 ◼   ► actually I I'm happy to be eating this

00:26:43 ◼   ► because all the other ones are so the

00:26:47 ◼   ► same yeah I give him credit for that

00:26:49 ◼   ► that's interesting I don't personally

00:26:50 ◼   ► prefer it I I don't really care that

00:26:53 ◼   ► much more honestly but I give him credit

00:26:55 ◼   ► for it being different than the rest and

00:26:57 ◼   ► I get why people would want that I just

00:26:59 ◼   ► don't and you know it's nice that they

00:27:01 ◼   ► actually have this one and the

00:27:03 ◼   ► old-fashioned ones still available at

00:27:05 ◼   ► all

00:27:06 ◼   ► I wonder how many they sell here's

00:27:09 ◼   ► something interesting the old-fashioned

00:27:10 ◼   ► one which appears to get the regular

00:27:12 ◼   ► like kind of brownish plane with no

00:27:13 ◼   ► glaze that was like cakey actually when

00:27:16 ◼   ► that one has more calories than the

00:27:18 ◼   ► glazed the regular glazed I don't know

00:27:20 ◼   ► why it must be different though I bet it

00:27:22 ◼   ► has like cakiness it has egg and

00:27:24 ◼   ► everything in it

00:27:24 ◼   ► yeah maybe alright so that was the

00:27:27 ◼   ► French crawler sounds like it's it okay

00:27:28 ◼   ► for you for me it's not great but if you

00:27:30 ◼   ► know for you to okay right yeah I liked

00:27:32 ◼   ► it it has a very different flavor but

00:27:34 ◼   ► it's like um it's it when you chew it it

00:27:38 ◼   ► kind of glops together very easily it

00:27:41 ◼   ► doesn't stay Airy alright next up we

00:27:44 ◼   ► have the regular jelly filled Emma so

00:27:45 ◼   ► this has this has like the sprinkled

00:27:47 ◼   ► sugar on the outside not the glaze but

00:27:48 ◼   ► isn't it kind of like powdery sugar this

00:27:49 ◼   ► used to be my favorite yeah regular like

00:27:51 ◼   ► sprinkle sugar on the outside the

00:27:53 ◼   ► regular Brown though they look how well

00:27:55 ◼   ► filled that is compared to the other

00:27:57 ◼   ► bowls filled oops those yeah the other

00:28:07 ◼   ► half asked filled doughnuts that's good

00:28:11 ◼   ► all right here you go

00:28:13 ◼   ► rocket jelly this is regular what kind

00:28:15 ◼   ► of jelly filled wow this is so brightly

00:28:19 ◼   ► colored so red it's so unnecessarily red

00:28:22 ◼   ► and we have a lot of jelly flavors in

00:28:24 ◼   ► the house because we have a child we

00:28:25 ◼   ► have a lot of jelly flavors that are of

00:28:27 ◼   ► like the red family none of them are as

00:28:30 ◼   ► brightly colored as this this is so full

00:28:33 ◼   ► of red dye it's not even funny it

00:28:35 ◼   ► probably has like very little color

00:28:37 ◼   ► it is really sweet jelly yeah I can't I

00:28:41 ◼   ► can't even tell you what fruit flavor

00:28:42 ◼   ► this is supposed to be it tastes like

00:28:44 ◼   ► you added the water to gummy candy and

00:28:47 ◼   ► like pushed it all up and then injected

00:28:50 ◼   ► it into a donut that sounds about right

00:28:52 ◼   ► I got to wipe some of it out the donut

00:28:54 ◼   ► itself is fine

00:28:55 ◼   ► it's inoffensive but the jelly is so

00:28:58 ◼   ► crazy like horrible junk food miss as a

00:29:02 ◼   ► whole with the insane ridiculous

00:29:04 ◼   ► sweetness of this jelly which I believe

00:29:06 ◼   ► it's it is made of gummy worms like just

00:29:10 ◼   ► I'm smearing it on the plate and I can

00:29:12 ◼   ► see of it it feels like creamed gummy

00:29:16 ◼   ► worm yeah that's that's odd that's

00:29:19 ◼   ► that's the jelly filled that is

00:29:20 ◼   ► and I think and just I think you just

00:29:22 ◼   ► stained our plates permanently actually

00:29:25 ◼   ► and our throats oh my god my fingers are

00:29:28 ◼   ► red yeah I like it as a whole but I

00:29:33 ◼   ► don't like this jelly it's just toxic oh

00:29:36 ◼   ► my god yeah that that was that was rough

00:29:38 ◼   ► oh don't get doughnuts you're so old

00:29:41 ◼   ► school all right so moving along because

00:29:43 ◼   ► I we have to leave that horrible thing

00:29:44 ◼   ► behind it's so bad next up is the the

00:29:48 ◼   ► glazed chocolate doughnut so the regular

00:29:50 ◼   ► shaped doughnut with the chocolate dough

00:29:52 ◼   ► that the dark brown chocolate dough with

00:29:54 ◼   ► glaze and this is similarly half-assedly

00:29:56 ◼   ► glazed I think the first one I need

00:29:58 ◼   ► another plate oh wait all right so

00:30:03 ◼   ► chocolate glaze okay plate number three

00:30:09 ◼   ► three three plate donut testing my wet

00:30:13 ◼   ► paper towel is already totally used up

00:30:15 ◼   ► that little of disgustingness Wow

00:30:17 ◼   ► they keep fleeing the knife with it

00:30:18 ◼   ► whenever we have any kind of jelly

00:30:19 ◼   ► filled thing oh boy all right so can we

00:30:22 ◼   ► I need to lay down after this again why

00:30:24 ◼   ► are we okay no more food after this one

00:30:27 ◼   ► but we need to take a break from food

00:30:29 ◼   ► only decaf liquids yeah all right so

00:30:32 ◼   ► this is a glazed chocolate doughnut

00:30:34 ◼   ► regular glazed chocolate doughnut I'm

00:30:36 ◼   ► excited about this one because I feel

00:30:37 ◼   ► like it's gonna be really different this

00:30:39 ◼   ► is also suspiciously high calories so so

00:30:41 ◼   ► the regular glazed flavor is 260 this

00:30:44 ◼   ► the chocolate one is 370 ooh you're

00:30:48 ◼   ► basically eating cake right yeah it's

00:30:50 ◼   ► promotion it's pretty much cake yeah

00:30:53 ◼   ► yeah well they call it they say glazed

00:30:55 ◼   ► chocolate cake doughnut is the official

00:30:56 ◼   ► name I don't think we need to eat the

00:30:58 ◼   ► Munchkin version of this oh no we have

00:30:59 ◼   ► to for completeness it okay

00:31:01 ◼   ► I like Entenmann's better yeah

00:31:04 ◼   ► Entenmann's does the same thing way

00:31:05 ◼   ► better but this is fine like this is

00:31:07 ◼   ► decent it leaves a funny aftertaste a

00:31:09 ◼   ► little bit yeah I mean like it's similar

00:31:11 ◼   ► to like the to the original three iced

00:31:14 ◼   ► ones up top we're like if this was in a

00:31:17 ◼   ► box and I really wanted one and nothing

00:31:18 ◼   ► else better was available I'd take this

00:31:20 ◼   ► I'd be fine with it yeah I prefer it

00:31:22 ◼   ► from the sea of boring we just waded

00:31:24 ◼   ► through but yeah I mean I would I would

00:31:26 ◼   ► pick that over any of the like filled

00:31:29 ◼   ► sprinkle II heart-shaped gummy

00:31:31 ◼   ► whatever's those were like I would pick

00:31:33 ◼   ► the chocolate cake over any of those

00:31:34 ◼   ► but so far I'm just so never wanting

00:31:38 ◼   ► Dunkin donut Donuts again I think this

00:31:39 ◼   ► is gonna be very easy to avoid in the

00:31:41 ◼   ► future so next up is the my favorite

00:31:44 ◼   ► name the plane stick donut I wish they

00:31:48 ◼   ► call it the donut rod I mean they didn't

00:31:50 ◼   ► even take any effort to make this look

00:31:51 ◼   ► good like there's like this big like

00:31:53 ◼   ► missing part over here where they like

00:31:55 ◼   ► it was maybe touching some other thing

00:31:57 ◼   ► and didn't get cooked properly like oh

00:31:59 ◼   ► it's it's the same as the original donut

00:32:02 ◼   ► but with glaze oh that makes sense

00:32:04 ◼   ► it has like a cinnamon element to it I

00:32:06 ◼   ► really like this yeah there's there's

00:32:07 ◼   ► something going on here it's like it's a

00:32:10 ◼   ► lot more flavor than I would have

00:32:12 ◼   ► expected it's a lot of flavor there's

00:32:13 ◼   ► like it's soaked in something see on the

00:32:15 ◼   ► bottom there mm-hmm it's like it's

00:32:16 ◼   ► soaked in some kind of flavored it's sir

00:32:18 ◼   ► it's more cakey then a regular donut

00:32:21 ◼   ► it's has cinnamon flecks I think in it

00:32:24 ◼   ► looks like it that's what it tastes like

00:32:25 ◼   ► and then the glaze it's very good I like

00:32:29 ◼   ► it I like the

00:32:31 ◼   ► harad donut the donut right yeah finally

00:32:34 ◼   ► Donuts that's really good it's not even

00:32:37 ◼   ► plain its glazed it's the funny thing is

00:32:39 ◼   ► the plain stick donor it has way more

00:32:41 ◼   ► flavor than the glazed donut the plain

00:32:43 ◼   ► stick donut has more flavor than the

00:32:46 ◼   ► chocolate cookie dough bomb cupid's love

00:32:49 ◼   ► donut or whatever the hell yeah I think

00:32:52 ◼   ► it least has a better flavor no they had

00:32:55 ◼   ► like no flavor that was so nice right

00:32:58 ◼   ► yeah yeah that was really good that was

00:33:00 ◼   ► good

00:33:00 ◼   ► my coming to the rescue Thank You

00:33:03 ◼   ► cinnamon for being excellent I only

00:33:06 ◼   ► complained about about the plane stick

00:33:07 ◼   ► donut besides the hilarious name which

00:33:09 ◼   ► actually might even be a complaint but

00:33:10 ◼   ► like it my main complaint is it's very

00:33:12 ◼   ► rich yeah it is it's like but you are

00:33:15 ◼   ► eating a donut so I mean all of these

00:33:17 ◼   ► are rich that's true but even after

00:33:19 ◼   ► having eaten now like 16 Donuts I look

00:33:21 ◼   ► at that I taste that and say oh this is

00:33:23 ◼   ► rich we didn't need all 16 Donuts they

00:33:25 ◼   ► all now look like pac-man

00:33:26 ◼   ► yeah we're just cutting a little wedges

00:33:28 ◼   ► out of each one all right next up is the

00:33:32 ◼   ► old-fashioned donut I think this is

00:33:34 ◼   ► gonna be the same contents as this does

00:33:36 ◼   ► the stick donut but without the glaze

00:33:38 ◼   ► it's certainly a very dense dough to cut

00:33:41 ◼   ► through it's it is much more ass

00:33:43 ◼   ► terrible oh yeah who would ever

00:33:48 ◼   ► get so it is basically like you know a

00:33:50 ◼   ► cake it's a ring of cake that's what it

00:33:52 ◼   ► is the texture is kind of um

00:33:54 ◼   ► rubbery the outside yeah it's an it

00:33:57 ◼   ► looks look it's gonna be soft with like

00:34:00 ◼   ► a little bit of crunch to it but it's

00:34:01 ◼   ► rubbery I would say it is as appealing

00:34:05 ◼   ► as it looks it like overall the this is

00:34:10 ◼   ► one of those cases where you should

00:34:11 ◼   ► judge the book by the cover it tastes

00:34:13 ◼   ► exactly how you'd expect it to taste

00:34:14 ◼   ► based on the way it looks not horrible

00:34:16 ◼   ► and in fact if I wanted if I wanted a

00:34:18 ◼   ► circle of cake and not a doughnut that

00:34:21 ◼   ► might be reasonable if there was no

00:34:22 ◼   ► other cake available it looks like a

00:34:23 ◼   ► 1950's cartoon donut that you would use

00:34:25 ◼   ► to dunk into coffee yeah maybe that's

00:34:28 ◼   ► the purpose of it is that because the

00:34:30 ◼   ► rest of these give me peace I'll don't

00:34:31 ◼   ► get in the coffee

00:34:32 ◼   ► it's for science I'll do it okay the

00:34:34 ◼   ► rest of these are are kind of not well

00:34:36 ◼   ► suited to dunking in coffee it looks

00:34:38 ◼   ► just like a 1950's cop donut that goes

00:34:40 ◼   ► in coffee

00:34:40 ◼   ► all right I'm dumping it into Marcos

00:34:43 ◼   ► coffee oh it's oh it absorbs the coffee

00:34:46 ◼   ► very quickly

00:34:46 ◼   ► Bruno might like a little sponge texture

00:34:56 ◼   ► so oh so what'd you think of it oh it

00:35:05 ◼   ► was like a soppy grainy mess don't do

00:35:08 ◼   ► that okay don't don't try it don't try

00:35:11 ◼   ► that so given that it's not suited for

00:35:12 ◼   ► dunking either what is the what does it

00:35:14 ◼   ► mean it absorbed the coffee very well

00:35:17 ◼   ► but then when you bit into it the

00:35:18 ◼   ► textured was just so vomity so the idea

00:35:22 ◼   ► if you have to absorb coffee but not

00:35:24 ◼   ► drink it like if there's been a coffee

00:35:25 ◼   ► spill you can clean it up with

00:35:27 ◼   ► old-fashioned doughnuts well it tastes

00:35:28 ◼   ► like if you would show if you would like

00:35:30 ◼   ► taking that a bite of that doughnut

00:35:31 ◼   ► chewed it up

00:35:32 ◼   ► spit it out and then eat it again and it

00:35:34 ◼   ► just happened to be and then poured some

00:35:35 ◼   ► coffee on it okay so you took a bite of

00:35:38 ◼   ► it you chewed it up you spit it out you

00:35:39 ◼   ► poured some coffee on it and then you

00:35:41 ◼   ► ate it up again with a spoon but that's

00:35:42 ◼   ► what it felt like and tasted like okay

00:35:46 ◼   ► so is that in your top four no it is not

00:35:52 ◼   ► okay all right so all the regular flavor

00:35:55 ◼   ► try it no that's all right after that

00:35:57 ◼   ► review I'm not sure I need to so all the

00:36:00 ◼   ► regular flavors are done now we just

00:36:01 ◼   ► have the three full

00:36:01 ◼   ► of merchants they're little mini donut

00:36:03 ◼   ► hole things just cut them in half like I

00:36:06 ◼   ► can't even even know oh yeah no I would

00:36:08 ◼   ► not eat a whole bunch in at this point

00:36:10 ◼   ► either I've never written anything down

00:36:11 ◼   ► I didn't even get a notebook for this

00:36:13 ◼   ► I'm just I knew I wouldn't need what I

00:36:15 ◼   ► just wanted to draw a doughnut all right

00:36:17 ◼   ► this is the regular glazed munchkin I

00:36:20 ◼   ► rather eat that and most of these yeah

00:36:23 ◼   ► that was great I think I mean it's

00:36:25 ◼   ► exactly the same as the glazed doughnut

00:36:26 ◼   ► like it yep exactly the same dough same

00:36:29 ◼   ► everything same glaze at her surface

00:36:31 ◼   ► area it was just just as freshly made

00:36:33 ◼   ► just as soft all right next up is the

00:36:36 ◼   ► glazed chocolate cake munchkin exactly

00:36:39 ◼   ► the same doughnut which we suspected and

00:36:42 ◼   ► finally the velocity we have the

00:36:44 ◼   ► munchkin that is not represented in the

00:36:46 ◼   ► full-size Donuts anymore at least the

00:36:48 ◼   ► powdered sugar cake Buckskin so this

00:36:52 ◼   ► looks like it's the old-fashioned donut

00:36:53 ◼   ► coated in powdered sugar it looks like

00:36:55 ◼   ► let's see wow that makes us so much

00:36:57 ◼   ► better it still has a little bit of that

00:37:01 ◼   ► rubbery outside to it

00:37:03 ◼   ► I found the filling kind of like melts

00:37:06 ◼   ► in your mouth and not in a good way

00:37:08 ◼   ► almost like an oozy way like yeah it's

00:37:10 ◼   ► consider of the inside is not great it

00:37:11 ◼   ► becomes pasty taste that's it yes

00:37:13 ◼   ► exactly yeah yeah okay so now little

00:37:18 ◼   ► fried all 18 donut varieties that were

00:37:21 ◼   ► available at the biggest Dunkin Donuts

00:37:23 ◼   ► we could find around us what's getting

00:37:24 ◼   ► more pasty yeah I think I need some

00:37:26 ◼   ► coffee all right yeah that's getting

00:37:28 ◼   ► worse as it ages in our mouths you

00:37:31 ◼   ► remember those little containers of

00:37:33 ◼   ► paste when we were in school they had

00:37:35 ◼   ► the stick at a yellow pad it was the

00:37:37 ◼   ► Elmer's paste and I had a stick an

00:37:39 ◼   ► orange cap and like a stick that went

00:37:41 ◼   ► down you had to like scrape the stick

00:37:43 ◼   ► inside of the bottle I do remember that

00:37:45 ◼   ► but I didn't eat them so I didn't eat I

00:37:48 ◼   ► didn't either

00:37:51 ◼   ► did you ever eat it I I can't remember I

00:37:55 ◼   ► don't recall Oh Oh interesting

00:37:59 ◼   ► we're talking about Donuts yeah okay we

00:38:01 ◼   ► can do flavor we can uh flavor profile

00:38:04 ◼   ► pastes later okay all right so what do

00:38:08 ◼   ► you think are in your top four out of

00:38:10 ◼   ► these do you have any in your top four

00:38:12 ◼   ► do I have to

00:38:14 ◼   ► I guess if you have to pick okay we're

00:38:17 ◼   ► doing this episode we have to pick

00:38:18 ◼   ► Dunkin Donuts okay I think that the the

00:38:22 ◼   ► plane rod donut the plane stick don't

00:38:25 ◼   ► yeah I think that one's my number one my

00:38:29 ◼   ► number two is not pictured the maple

00:38:32 ◼   ► glazed donut okay that's that that's the

00:38:34 ◼   ► one that we couldn't get in stock that

00:38:36 ◼   ► you're remembering in your mind so even

00:38:37 ◼   ► in your mind it only reaches number two

00:38:38 ◼   ► it might even be number three because I

00:38:40 ◼   ► know it's very very sweet

00:38:42 ◼   ► okay I'm bumping it down to number three

00:38:44 ◼   ► moving the regular glazed up to two so I

00:38:47 ◼   ► have the the rod stick then the glazed

00:38:50 ◼   ► then my fantasy doughnut of the maple

00:38:55 ◼   ► one and and lastly oh oh this is tricky

00:39:00 ◼   ► because that jelly inside that jelly

00:39:01 ◼   ► doughnut was so bad

00:39:03 ◼   ► I'll turn it to face you you can really

00:39:05 ◼   ► see how bad it is uh okay so I'm

00:39:08 ◼   ► debating between the chocolate cake

00:39:10 ◼   ► donut the jelly and the well that coffee

00:39:15 ◼   ► swirly one was pretty good too

00:39:17 ◼   ► can we the purpose of ranking is it fair

00:39:19 ◼   ► to rule out the Munchkins do they were

00:39:20 ◼   ► just like their parent donuts yeah yes

00:39:23 ◼   ► yeah all right so unless you want this

00:39:25 ◼   ► you want the powder one out but I don't

00:39:26 ◼   ► think either of us want the paste donut

00:39:28 ◼   ► mm-hmm no that's Elementary School paste

00:39:30 ◼   ► donut all right rod glazed fantasy maple

00:39:36 ◼   ► and uh uh jelly I'm just gonna say it

00:39:40 ◼   ► generally so you're so of all the other

00:39:43 ◼   ► ones out here that you didn't rank you

00:39:45 ◼   ► would rather eat a jelly than those like

00:39:47 ◼   ► them then how about the French cruller

00:39:48 ◼   ► you'd rather have the jelly than that or

00:39:51 ◼   ► the cinnamon swirl thing they're just so

00:39:54 ◼   ► many calories they're just not good so

00:39:57 ◼   ► so maybe so is none an option that we

00:40:00 ◼   ► can rank like is not having a donut

00:40:02 ◼   ► something we can put in our top four

00:40:04 ◼   ► yeah I think I'd rather I used to love

00:40:06 ◼   ► the pink glazed donuts and like actually

00:40:08 ◼   ► craved them actively where we had to

00:40:10 ◼   ► like I need to run out and get a pink

00:40:11 ◼   ► glazed donut but now eating them with

00:40:14 ◼   ► everything else I think my option for

00:40:17 ◼   ► number four is going to be none okay but

00:40:20 ◼   ► maybe it's it said now I'm like in a

00:40:22 ◼   ► stomachache like sugar I don't know what

00:40:26 ◼   ► would you call this situation that we're

00:40:28 ◼   ► in right here

00:40:28 ◼   ► sugar vibration SiC I supposedly the

00:40:33 ◼   ► option to for it to ask somebody whether

00:40:35 ◼   ► they want more doughnuts the worst time

00:40:38 ◼   ► to ask them that is probably after they

00:40:39 ◼   ► have tried 18 doughnuts it's like when

00:40:41 ◼   ► you eat too much SpaghettiOs and then

00:40:43 ◼   ► you can't have SpaghettiOs anymore for a

00:40:45 ◼   ► really really really long time I'm

00:40:46 ◼   ► feeling that way about these doughnuts

00:40:48 ◼   ► and the funny thing is combined we

00:40:52 ◼   ► probably only each had something like

00:40:54 ◼   ► two to three whole doughnuts worth of

00:40:57 ◼   ► doughnuts like how do people put these

00:40:58 ◼   ► away like in their bodies alright so is

00:41:03 ◼   ► that your ranking so number one you do

00:41:05 ◼   ► yours cuz I might jump in let me draw

00:41:07 ◼   ► them while you talk about your assault

00:41:09 ◼   ► Rosalyn alright my number one choice is

00:41:12 ◼   ► going to be no donuts go right for

00:41:17 ◼   ► number one no dunno

00:41:18 ◼   ► number one is no thank you if I have to

00:41:21 ◼   ► if that is an option that we are

00:41:22 ◼   ► considering if that is my number one

00:41:24 ◼   ► choice because all of these are

00:41:26 ◼   ► disappointing to some degree and given

00:41:30 ◼   ► exactly like once you see how

00:41:32 ◼   ► high-calorie they are it's like none of

00:41:34 ◼   ► these are worth it I would even going to

00:41:35 ◼   ► have that that many calories in a

00:41:37 ◼   ► breakfast I'd rather have like a like a

00:41:38 ◼   ► big egg and cheese sandwich or something

00:41:40 ◼   ► like yeah there's so many things that

00:41:41 ◼   ► taste a lot better than all of these

00:41:43 ◼   ► donuts yeah they taste better you feel

00:41:44 ◼   ► better after eating them they keep you

00:41:46 ◼   ► full for long or like I it isn't just

00:41:49 ◼   ► like a responsibility thing it's like I

00:41:50 ◼   ► don't even enjoy the way I feel enough

00:41:53 ◼   ► while eating these are after eating

00:41:55 ◼   ► these to make it worth 2 to 400 calories

00:41:58 ◼   ► for for these weirdo things so number

00:42:02 ◼   ► one choice for me is no thank you

00:42:03 ◼   ► number two is probably gonna be the the

00:42:07 ◼   ► regular glaze because I do I did really

00:42:10 ◼   ► enjoy the plain stick donut but it is

00:42:12 ◼   ► very rich and it is larger so I think I

00:42:15 ◼   ► would feel worse after eating a whole

00:42:17 ◼   ► plain stick donut than after eating with

00:42:19 ◼   ► just a one basic glaze number three will

00:42:22 ◼   ► be the plain stick donut so number one

00:42:24 ◼   ► no thank you number two playing glaze

00:42:26 ◼   ► number three plain sticked on it mostly

00:42:29 ◼   ► because it really is very good like

00:42:30 ◼   ► maybe I don't need half of it and share

00:42:32 ◼   ► it with you or something so that mitt

00:42:33 ◼   ► that would make it a little better and

00:42:34 ◼   ► then number four I have a tough time

00:42:37 ◼   ► with because none of them are

00:42:37 ◼   ► particularly great if I'm allowed to

00:42:40 ◼   ► like throw

00:42:42 ◼   ► the second half of it I might pick the

00:42:44 ◼   ► cinnamon roll the coffee roll because

00:42:47 ◼   ► it's way too big for me to finish myself

00:42:48 ◼   ► and also 400 calories but just I would

00:42:52 ◼   ► feel really gross after eating that

00:42:54 ◼   ► whole thing kind of similar to how I

00:42:55 ◼   ► feel right now that's roughly how I feel

00:42:58 ◼   ► everything that I don't I don't want to

00:42:59 ◼   ► feel that but if I had to I would say

00:43:01 ◼   ► the the coffee roll would be my number

00:43:04 ◼   ► four so no thank you

00:43:07 ◼   ► glaze plain stick coffee roll how do you

00:43:14 ◼   ► feel are you sticking with your list now

00:43:16 ◼   ► yeah I might even change my first one to

00:43:20 ◼   ► No thank you thank you but I didn't go

00:43:25 ◼   ► into this thinking I would never want to

00:43:26 ◼   ► eat another donut I just don't want to

00:43:28 ◼   ► eat another one of these donuts anymore

00:43:42 ◼   ► [Music]
