Krispy Kreme has announced a discontinued doughnut will be returning to shelves at its UK stores from today (April 22). A nationwide public vote, dubbed ‘The Great Doughbate’, took place in Krispy Kreme shops and across social media in March to let fans decide to bring back one of their discontinued favourite flavours. Doughnut lovers of the nation spoke with overwhelming clarity as 66% demanded the return of the Glazed Raspberry over Chocolate Custard.
Therefore, fans can now get their hands on the Glazed Raspberry doughnut again from today, despite it being discontinued previously. A post shared by Krispy Kreme UK (@krispykremeuk) Krispy Kreme said fans have berated it across social media since the jam-filled doughnut was first discontinued in November 2024 and the brand’s customer service line has been inundated with pleas to reverse the decision. Supporters said “who ate them all!?” and “you’ve ruined my life” while Alison Hammond took to the sofa of ITV’s This Morning to beg Krispy Kreme’s leadership team not to axe her favourite flavour, the company explains.
The doughnut brand even saw a rabble of voters descend upon their flagship Oxford Street shop, demanding the return of the doughnut flavour. A passionate protester even threw a fistful of raspberry jam into the face of Krispy Kreme’s new MD, Guy Meakin, Krispy Kreme said.
