The one where a popular donut chain honors a hit ’90s sitcom on a major anniversary.
Krispy Kreme is celebrating the 30th anniversary of “Friends” with a line of specialty donuts.
The flavors include: “Friends” an original glazed with chocolatey icing, sprinkles, and white chocolate, “We Were on a Coffee Break,” topped with caffè latte flavor icing, chocolate swirl, frosting and a white chocolate topper. Trifle is a strawberry and custard-filled doughnut, topped with chocolate curls and green sprinkles. “How You Doin’?” is the brand’s classic ring donut decorated like the purple front door of Monica and Rachel’s apartment. The donut has purple icing and is adorned with mango and passionfruit-flavored frosting to recreate the famous gold peephole on the door.
All of these delights are perfect for the “Friends” fan in your life, but there’s one catch.
You have to head across the pond to try them because they’re only available in the United Kingdom.
The move has left fans in the United States wondering why the very American show isn’t being celebrated in the States.
When news of the treats was announced on Snackolater’s Instagram account, American fans flooded the comment section with their concerns.
“This is where I am just confused by the decision-making process. Friends was a huge U.S. show (I know it is big internationally as well, but come on), yet this is a U.K. thing?” commented one user. “I love getting to see all of these cool flavors and snacks, but it’s also showing me how much we miss out on.”
“Could I be more disappointed this isn’t available here?” commented another.
One fan reasoned why the U.K. was the choice for the release.
“UK? But that’s where Ross met Emily! And Monica and Chandler started being more than friends and doing laundry!”
Online orders for the donuts are available but require a U.K. postal code.
Here’s hoping the donut chain will pivot and bring the treats to the U.S.
