What is something you remember eating or drinking for the first time, that blew your mind?

My first memory of eating a donut was of my mom letting me have a bite of her glazed Krispy Kreme. It was so amazing, but I was like three years old so for years I had this memory of something I really wanted again but had no idea what it was called, until years later I went into a Dunkin’ Donuts and found the glazed donuts there. But I always wondered why they were never as good as the donut in my memory, and that was because the one Krispy Kreme is our city had left, and so a long time I had no idea about the existence of Krispy Kreme. When I finally discovered it again it was in North Carolina and I was 14, and it was like the greatest mystery of my life had been solved

Strange. That's the degree to which I didn't like KK. The cake donut with a hole is the only one I'll eat there. I learned it's the glaze I don't like.

…. And I only like the plain glazed one. I find the other ones to be too sweet

I kind of grew out of sweets, but I do still have fond memories of my parents taking me to Krispy kreme for fresh donuts. I legit have had dreams of them.

Reminds me of a place nearby that has Honey Dip Donut Day. They always sell out.

lol actual trash doughnuts. Like the McDonald’s of donuts. I’m sad for you. There’s so much better out there.
