Krispy Kreme announced on March 11 that it was bringing a new doughnut to its menu — a classic glazed doughnut filled with the popular hazelnut cocoa spread, Nutella.
The company announced its new creation via its Dominican Republic Facebook account, which is reportedly the only place to buy the doughnuts when they launched this week.

Some were overjoyed by the potential of the doughnuts eventually hitting the shelves in the United States.

KRISPY KREME INTRODUCING A NUTELLA DONUT DURING THE 40 DAY PERIOD IN WHICH I CANT EAT NUTELLA BECAUSE I GAVE IT UP FOR LENT IS LITERALLY A TRAGEDY. A MODERN TRAGEDY. A MODERN ITALIAN CATHOLIC TRAGEDY.

But other users didn’t see the combination as an appetizing idea.

I was about to pen a lengthy counterpoint… but then I looked again, and you’re right. The proportions are way off. It’s 3 to 1 Nutella to donut. I’d rather just eat Nutella with a spoon at that point.
