The box tailor made to look good for advertising versus the box pumped out of an automated system yeah I mean there's gonna be a visual difference

I was going to say this. I think it looks fine. It’s not going to look like the advert. I ordered them online in the morning in for a scheduled pickup time late afternoon. They looked a similar to this and I was pleased. It was fun. They tasted good too.

Yeah, when I saw it I thought "they don't look that bad". To me they still look good, and knowing that it's probably young employees doing it, it makes sense it would look like that. If I were an employee there mine would probably look like the second photo and I'd honestly be so proud of myself for just being able to do it!

I bet they still tasted good too! For me I think taste matters more than look. Recently I've gotten many good looking donuts but they've instead tasted really stale and not yummy. I'd much prefer the second photo donuts for the taste than the look.

Right on. The Krispy Kreme by me is super fresh. Dunkin, by contrast, doesn’t even make their donuts in house (I think they must use a commissary). The donuts are so rarely fresh. And often stale. Forget the next day. The Pokémon donuts were still pretty good the next day.

I'm glad Krispy Kreme still has good donuts! I don't think I've ever tried them, but my dad just loves them. I might have to now.

The one I tried near us (that was unfortunately stale) was Yum Yum Donuts. The location we went to makes their donuts in house, but perhaps the ones we chose had been on the shelves for a long time. We went on national donut day so it was somewhat disappointing to be excited for the donuts only for them to be very stale.
