Krispy Kreme Update
I was going through the stats on this website and found that the search terms that people got to Melbourne Metblogs to be quite interesting. The biggest keywords seem to be related to Krispy Kreme’s new store in Melbourne. Many people on here have made posts on the donuts.
I managed to swing by there and check it out Sunday before last at around 8PM. The line was out the door and around the corner. The drive-thru had a lot of cars waiting. Whirlpool has a fairly active thread (registered users only) where people state that the lines still appear to be up to a couple of hours at peak times. If you are in need to a Krispy Kreme, it looks like you probably should wait another month or get someone from Sydney to fly some down.

And, should you happen to go to Sydney, a quick tip: fly back to Melbourne on the last Qantas flight at night. It leaves at 10.20pm. The terminal it leaves from does not have a “proper” Krispy Kreme store, but rather a small kiosk in a corridor.
Now, why is this relevant? Well, the last flight to leave *before* the 10.20 to Melbourne is just after 9pm. There is a long period without any flights from that terminal, which means few passengers around. It is not unusual for the kiosk to have “left over” donuts they need to get rid of before closing down at night. And it is not unusual for them to just give them away. Just stroll by the kiosk between 9.30 and 10 and you might get very, very lucky. Several-free-donut-boxes lucky. And, yes, I speak from experience.
By the way, Krispy Kreme donuts can be frozen.
