it'll go good with their CJ Leslie

4/16/2010 6:35:24 PM

They are giving us credit for it

4/16/2010 6:36:06 PM

I thought this was about the United Kingdom.. and about that one post that said CJL was going to play in Europe..

4/16/2010 6:37:11 PM

At least it is an actual challenge and that they aren't just eating 12 chicken nuggets from Chick Fil A. And as AndyMac said they aren't trying to claim it as their own idea so more power to them.

the people who started the Krispy Kreme Challenge should start a non profit and hold events across the country

It is annoying that they call it a "unique fundraiser" though

Hmmmmm......at least they acknowledged us. And at least it isn't as ghey as something like Chick-fil-a Challenge.

They are doing one of those here in Charleston too, and they arent giving NC State credit.

it's pretty obvious at this point that the idea of a few ncsu students to do this took off and became a great marketing (and tax write off) for krispy kreme so they are encouraging it at all their stores

just be proud that ncsu is the original site for such a feat and baseline for charity

They actually have a Krispy Kreme in Doha, Qatar. I expected to see Burger King and Subway, but Krispy Kreme caught be a little off guard.

and bigman wins yet another thread

4/17/2010 1:53:50 AM

^^ They have them in Korea and Japan too. I wish they'd open them outside of the Kanto area

4/17/2010 7:46:14 AM

do they come wrapped in used panties in japan?

4/17/2010 7:52:00 AM

No but they sell weird flavors like green tea custard and strawberry chip caramel creme

4/17/2010 7:54:08 AM

japs are some strange people.

4/17/2010 7:55:59 AM

4/17/2010 7:59:40 AM

^ haha I'm guessing those must be from Thailand. The Japanese flavors always have Japanese written underneath the English.

They had wasabi Pringles a few months ago. Those were the shit

4/17/2010 8:01:52 AM

ecu copied it and changed the cause to finding a cure for diabetes

for some reason i found that amusing

4/17/2010 8:05:11 AM

hahaha, they are not the brightest folks in NC.

Also, I think it's cool that what some states students did inspired other schools to do it, I also think it's really cool when the other schools say that the idea came from us. I just think it's lame that UNC tried to one up us with 12 chicken nuggets.

But to each his own.

^^^ actually they did it on purpose.

Quote :

"You are saying, "A Krispy Kreme run to raise funds for a cure for type 1 diabetes?" YES. First the theme of this year's JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes is "Freedom" (freedom from diabetes), so people are participating in this event so that those with type 1 diabetes will have the freedom to eat donuts. Secondly, I hope you will become aware of JDRF and all that it does for kids living every day with type 1 diabetes. Finally, we want to dispel the myth that those with diabetes cannot eat sugar, white flour, white potatoes, etc.and that all of us, with or without diabetes should eat certain foods in moderation."

although it is a little funny that it's a challenge to eat a dozen when they say it's ok in moderation. The point is though that it's ok to eat those kinds of foods if you're diabetic.

UNC is also doing a run now (except it's 12 chicken nuggets instead of donuts):
http://triangle.bizjournals.com/triangle/stories/2010/04/05/daily3.html

12 chicken nuggets is nothing, they aren't matching anything. I've done that just snackin' before. Whimps.

4/19/2010 8:36:58 AM

^Yeah we know, there is a whole thread on that.

4/19/2010 8:40:04 AM

^ I don't frequent chit chattery.

4/19/2010 8:42:20 AM

It's all good. But the whole thread is basically what you just said. 12 nuggest =/= 12 KK donuts.
