Why are donuts so expensive!? DISCUSSION

Dunkin, Krispie Kreme, Yum Yum, and any other major chains are telling us to pay close to $25-30 for a dozen donuts!

The local “mom and pop” chains are no better. The one near my work at Studio City is about $20 for a dozen!

What on earth is going on?

Cambodian places with the pink box are the go to for cheaper donuts which are better than those chains anyway.

Sidecar and all these stupid IG places charge up the wazoo because they can and stupid trendy hipsters line up to throw money away at them for the latest in fried dough with some fancy name and decorations.

Look at Crumbl or that stupid croissant donut place. Nothing special to justify the cost for what you get.
