Doughnuts: Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
built 179 days ago
Doughnuts have become a part of North American popular culture. The cartoon character Homer Simpson is especially fond of doughnuts, while popular mythology has American police officers addicted to them. Cake-based doughnuts dominate commercial production for packaged sales in grocery and convenience stores - for example "little powdered doughnuts". Yeast-based doughnuts dominate commercial production for fresh retail sale. There are retail stores which specialize in the selling of fresh doughnuts and coffee to customers, such as Dunkin' Donuts, Tim Hortons, Winchell's Donuts, Country Style and many other chain stores. Krispy Kreme is distinguished by having neon signs, known as "hot lights", to inform customers when hot doughnuts are available - fresh off the assembly line. Many doughnut shops are open 24 hours a day.
