Perth Has Gone Absolutely Batshit Nuts For Krispy Kreme


Turns out Perth‘s obsession with the sugary, congealed rings of deliciousness known as Krispy Kreme aren’t so much cute and polite as they are “Lock all the doors, board the windows up, this won’t end unless we flee to Morocco in the dead of night.

No longer do residents of Western Australia have to cart boxes of the stuff home as carry on after filling their arms up at eastern state airport terminals. The first dedicated Krispy Kreme store opened up yesterday, and people have gone absolutely freaking bananas for it.
Some people camped out outside the new store ahead of its official opening for days, to the point where a local radio station went up and down the cue offering people $50 to give up their place in line – no one took the bait.
But it’s causing more than just a lot of increased foot traffic. The store happens to have the double whammy of being both a drive thru, and a 24 hour location, meaning that even as late as 11pm last night, the line of cars waiting to get through snaked off in all sorts of different directions, lasting for what appears to be literal kilometres.

It remains to be seen whether the state’s voracious appetite for glazed, doughy flesh will abate at any time soon. And though we’re well aware that most people’s eating habits are reasonably sensible, you can bet your bottom there’s some legend up in Joondalup giving this scenario a red hot crack right now.
