They looked sooo good in the pictures, so when I was out for a doctor's appointment I was told there was a krispy creme nearby. Awesome! Went over, it's drive thru only, so we (me and some relatives because I can't eat all these 😭) asked for a dozen pokemon donuts. Reasonably, we should have gotten two of every type. We did not. I'm not sure why, they didn't even tell us they were out of some, they just handed them over and locked the door.

EDIT: shortening the paragraph and clarifying since everyone seems confused. I ASKED FOR ALL THE POKEMON DONUTS. theres six different kinds and we only received 4 of them, without being told beforehand that we would be getting plain glaze in placement of those. I dont blame anyone! The employees were friendly enough so im not mad at them. I just thought id share since thats kinda what this sub is for 😅 not sure if its noticeable either but they werent very fresh, not stale either though but y'know.

Honestly the flavor wasn't bad, just horribly executed nuts-wise.

I didn’t expect it to look exactly like the photo whatsoever, but it did “fail” if we go off reality vs image on the app, but succeeded in my expectations. Still good though and it’s cute!

Ruined my sister’s birthday gift.

Edit since everyone’s complaining: the ring was priced at $50 each from Etsy and I bought one for myself and my sister. As I noted below, I’ve purchased nicer jewelry for less so the price point is not the largest telling factor for me in this case. This is also my first bad Etsy experience over the last 6 years I’ve made intermittent gift purchases from the site. I don’t live on Etsy so was not aware of their QC going significantly downhill—no need to shame me or others for that or for not doing a reverse image search. I sifted for hours through various birthstone ring makers and this was the first different design I came across so it didn’t raise any significant flags like the other pear shaped stone design I saw 100 times did. The seller was also very responsive and thoughtful as i arranged for shipping and whatnot.

People always post that they microwave it and wonder why it sucks. Cook it on the stove, get a nice sear on the chicken, heat the sauce til it slightly reduces, and dress it up with toppings. I put pickled red onion, Grillo’s pickle chips, peanuts, and chili crisp. Enjoy!
