Queueing for Donuts

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that until half an hour ago I'd never heard of Krispy Kreme donuts. The first I heard was a discussion about the hundreds of people in my city who are standing in line waiting for South Africa's first Krispy Kreme store to open tomorrow morning.
I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about until I saw that they're giving away "vast quantities" of donuts to their first few hundred customers. First in line will get a dozen donuts per week for a year. Sounds good, but that wouldn't be enough to get me to stand in line outside a store right through the night.
But I'm curious. Are Krispy Kreme donuts really so special? I guess I'll wait for all the fuss to die down before I pay them a visit so that I can find out for myself.
Meanwhile, if Krispy Kreme are in your country I'd love to know what you think.

i've ne'er had one myself. no such store where i reside. the aunt, who moved here from arizona, 's quite attached to 'em. when she's a doc's visit in texas, she fetches her a box'r two 'f those tasty treats 'n hauls 'em home.

@crazyhorseladycx Somehow I doubt you're missing anything that special. Of course I may be wrong, but I won't know until I try them. I've no plans to go out of my way to visit Krispy Kreme though, so I'll have to wait until I'm in the area where they've opened.

Krispy Kreme donuts are really good but don't know if they're worth standing in line for
