Overrated to hell I reckon, tried them & they're just doughnuts, no biggie I reckon.

Jam doughnut at the van at the Dandy market, now they're worth a mention.........yummo !

I reckon that they are bloody awful!

Absolute sugar overload in the donut and then they add these sickly sweet fillings. Yeck!

I really don't understand the attraction.

Well maybe for kids I do, but adults? No way.

Liposuction and youth: the answer to the fuel crisis?

Wow, the only doughnuts we get are the old cinnamon kind from the baker. I used to love them as a kid, taste like sweetened grease now.

Ahhh. So I picked it - from this distance..... It is Kevin, trying to score off Mr Howard. What can I say. Just came back from a tour of the Reagan Library. Outstanding! (falls & dies)

All the evidence you need

The estimated financial cost of obesity in 2005 was 3.767 billion $$$. It is estimated that nearly 30% of the population will be classified obese by 2025. Add these figures to an aging popluation and it's scary to think what the future holds when you consider basic figures like these.

I was genetically a geek, which is a nerd with worse dress sence and les ball skills , I know where you are comming from here, and it made no difference to me. Though I think a lot of the problem is parents have been scared of letting their kids roam. I grew up in Warrandyte, it is surrounded in national parks. I would spend most of my school holidays wandering around these, would leave home mid morning, wouldnt get back until dinner time. So I guess that was how I got my exercise. This was the late 70's through the 80's. Now parents wont let their kids out of their sight, so the kids either sit at home on the computer or in front of the TV, or the parents send all their time running the kids to "organised activities". I think the media needs to back off the scare mongering. The dangers that the kids of today face are no greater than the dangers that we (or at least I) faced, it is just the media have sensationalised them.

well thats my opinion, give the kids some space and chance to run and most of the obesity will disappear.

I stopped at 1/2 a doughnut , couldn't understand why people queded up for hours when it first opened down the road. But extremely well marketed.
