Four 'Friends'-inspired doughnuts arrived at Krispy Kreme's locations in the United Kingdom and Ireland on June 17, but these snacks do not appear to be coming to the United States.
News that Krispy Kreme's limited-edition "Friends"-themed doughnuts would be released only in the United Kingdom and Ireland has confused some U.S.-based fans of both the television show and the doughnut chain. The doughnuts were first teased on June 12 in a joint post on the Krispy Kreme UK and Krispy Kreme Ireland's Instagram page. They were officially announced the next day.
Dive into our FRIENDS doughnuts collection and celebrate 30 years of the iconic TV show! From Joey's 'How You Doin'?' mango & passion fruit delight to Ross's 'We were on a Coffee Break!' café latte treat, & don't miss Rachel's trifle-inspired surprise," Krispy Kreme UK said in a June 16 Instagram post.
Fans of Krispy Kreme and of the show took to social media to express their confusion at the release. "This is where I am just confused by the decision-making process. Friends was a huge U.S. show , yet this is a UK thing," wrote one Instagram user in response to a post about the new doughnuts. "I love getting to see all of these cool flavors and snacks, but it's also showing me how much we miss out on," the same user added.
It's a show in the U.S. So why do they get this in the UK and not here?" asked another Instagram user. Another Instagram user was a touch more sarcastic in his response. "Ya, when I think of ‘Friends’ I totally think of the UK," he said. When asked if the doughnuts would be making their way to the U.S.A., a representative from Krispy Kreme told FOX Business that there was "nothing additional to share at this time.
