I have seen them for way more than £1. I just don't get it. They are not even particularly good doughnuts. They look nice but they don't actually taste of anything and the texture is far too cakey and not nearly doughnutty enough, which is not a good thing when it comes to making doughnuts.
Any supermarket will sell you a whole bag of five or six small but perfectly decent doughnuts, with proper jam flavoured jam in them, for well under a quid yet people flock to the overpriced ones with silly colours on. It makes no sense to me. See also ludicrously overpriced cupcakes.
Top tip: Reduced to clear bag of stale doughnuts (25p from Co-op) + microwave = 5 warm, fresh doughnuts for 5p each. Woohoo! I am the Doughnut Master (as well as a certified fat bastard cheapskate) and Mr Krispy Kreme can do one!
