Ah, Krispy Kreme.
Also known as the Irish hunger games.
Since the first ever Irish store opened in Blanchardstown two weeks ago, it seems like the country has literally gone GAGA for the glazed wonders.
With queues of over an hour wait and traffic jams in the middle of the night (see below), we’re still trying to understand what makes this doughnut store a million miles above the rest?

And everyone who has got their hands on one of the store’s signature pastries has highly documented it, with our feeds packed full of doughnut boomerangs showing boxes opening and closing.
