I don't see them in CenCal.

I'm from there and my local doughnut shop has pink boxes.

Am I the only one who thinks doughnuts are pretty overrated

this is the only reason your quote ratio is also high

 

[MattKeil]

I'm from NorCal and I absolutely associate pink boxes with donuts.

I don't know, but I do know you've never been to Voodoo Donuts or Donut Friend.

 

[Kas]

I live in NH, and I associate pink boxes with cupcakes, since a local cupcake place uses pink boxes.

My Q/P ratio is high because doughnuts are overrated?

Ngoy (the “g” is silent)

OMG

 

[megarockexe]

We get donuts every week at work. Donut boxes have been pink for as long as I can remember.

 

[Guevara]

Because leftover pink cardboard stock was cheaper.

 

[Envelope]

fuck i wish i was back in cali so i could hit up my favorite doughnut joint now

Randy's Donuts are overrated.

But I can see where you are coming from. While I like donuts, I never have the urge to eat them by themselves. I always need to have some coffee or tea with them.

I might have agreed with you until I read the second part of your post. Randy's is great, not the best ever but a legit ass old school donut shop.

Donuts are big in LA? That's weird as I felt like I could never find a good donut shop when I lived there. Of course, I'm from the Northeast and am addicted to my Dunkin Donuts so the sketchy mom-and-pop shops weren't doing it for me.

Wow, what's so sketchy about independent donut shops? It's the mom and pop places that you should try. Just about every place makes their donuts on site. It's fresh in the morning and you don't have to worry about dealing with Boston Red Sox fans.

Where in Fresno? I just get bakery from the bread man in the van.

The bingo donuts on Blackstone and Shaw, golden donuts on first and nees, Judy's donuts on Herndon and west. That's just to name a few.

Dude what are you doing with your life. When are massive food chains ever better than mom and pop shops.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I had no idea the pink boxes were only a regional thing.

Same here.

I live in the eastern part of LA County, and I'll take a mom-and-pop donut shop over a chain any day. I only ever go to Krispy Kreme when I don't have change for the mom-and-pop shops.

The boxes are nice but what's inside is probably the worst thing you could ever eat. Just a sugar+fat calorie bomb. It's hardly an appropriate breakfast food.

 

[PassiveObserver]

I grew up associating pink boxes with Chinese bakeries. Didn't know it was a donuts/California thing as well.

 

[Chmpocalypse]

I miss LA donuts so much

Yeah. Seems like the article don't know

 

[bjork]

I like donuts but only after they've been in the fridge for a long time.

Gourmet donut shops have been opening up for a decade or longer. Voodoo Doughnuts just recently expanded here.

We got Dunkin Donuts out here too. They're pretty much middle of the road, not considerably superior to the 'sketchy' mom n pops you describe.

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

LA donuts are overall pretty awful. Funny enough all the good ones are those that hail from Portland.

Portland is the epicenter of donuts. Go there.

 

[Foolworm]

Nope, never seen this. In Canada the standard is red and brown (Tim Hortons).

 

[Gentleman Jack]

And, it seems, junk food snobbery.

not just junk food

You shut your whore mouth. Randy's Donuts has the best crumb doughnuts I've ever had.

I haven't had their crumbs to be honest, just their glazed, chocolate, and coconut donuts. They were EXTREMELY greasy.

I'd compare getting a Dunkin Donuts donut like getting a burger from a Carl's Jr.

Sure they're alright, but it doesn't beat a burger from an actual burger place. The mom and pop places may look sketchy, but their donuts (Of course it differs from place to place) can be damn good.
