I’m walking through the airport and what do I see?
A big fat doughnut staring back at me.
I turn around and look with a gleam;
Could it possibly be a Krispy Kreme?
Ignoring my bad attempt at poetry, Krispy Kreme has apparently landed in Australia. At the Sydney airport, in fact, in one of the terminals, there is a Krispy Kreme cart. And it sells semi-fresh Krispy Kreme doughnuts by the dozen.
To be fair, Krispy Kreme actually has more than a dozen locations in Australia, according to their store locator. It’s just a very weird experience to be wandering down toward your gate at an airport in Australia and see a Krispy Kreme cart. I feel like someone has taken BWI, given all the staff accents, and just changed all the US Airways signs to Qantas.
So what do you do when you want a single Krispy Kreme doughnut, just to remind you of the incredible goodness that comes along with the incredible fatiness of the doughnuts back home? You buy a dozen, because you have no other options, and you start offering them to the Australian passengers in the waiting area with you, who look at you with that strange look in their eyes, and then slowly back away.
But it’s worth it.
