Hello! I did another product review that I think is worth mentioning. The product in question is sour cream donuts from everyone’s favorite retail chain, Wally World.
Yes, it’s true, Wally World is not known for its donuts. Matter of fact, it’s the last thing they are known for. However, the shroud of mystery will soon be removed! You will know exactly where they stand on donuts.
The standard glazed, chocolate iced, and lemon iced donuts of Wally World are actually good. While they are not as good as a donut chains would be, these ones are worth buying. In fact, they are even better than most store bought donuts.
However, I am reviewing the sour cream glaze donuts.
Here is what they look like, so you can recognize them in the future:
At first I tried the donuts straight up:
Then I tried them with coffee:
My opinion is that, these donuts are not worth buying. Don’t do it. The glaze is barely even sweet. The sour cream flavor is too subtle and not unique.
A good food will have a lot of flavor and it will pop. A lower quality food however, will remain bland. These donuts did in fact, stay in their bland form in my mouth.
I tried dipping the donuts in the coffee but, that did not help them impress me either. C’mon Wally World, it’s like you’re not even trying.
Seriously, I hope the CEO of Wal*Mart reeds this, you’re sour cream donuts can be described as, “not even trying!”
As for why I dipped the donuts in the coffee in the first place, that does in fact help improve the flavor. Dipping a donut is like putting salt on fries, it’s what you do. You do it for the flavor. Period.
A coffee-dipped donut also melts the icing slightly, adding a unique perspective. And if you like the flavor of coffee (which sane people do) then you will have your donut’s flavor and a coffee version of your donut. Why is dipping a donut a bad thing?
Someone said to me that dipping donuts is a coastal thing, as in only people from the coasts would do that. These coastal people were also said to have access to buttermilk bar donuts while those who are where I am do not. Should dipping donuts be kept to the coast(s)?
I used a parenthesis on the S because, I do not know if the east coast wants to have dipped donuts. And frankly, I am not sure that I want to know much about the east coast anyway.
I submit friends, that dipping donuts in coffee and sometimes tea should in fact, be an American thing. A lack of buttermilk bars cannot be what determines whether or not donuts are dipped.
How would people know if donuts can be dipped without dipping them in the first place?
Wow, I kinda got off topic on this entry…please forgive my absent-minded mind.
I tried the sour cream donuts with coffee in order to see if the coffee would help the donuts taste better. Nope, it did not. Quite ironic indeed. Or in other words, coffee drinking improves most foods but not all.
For some reason coffee does not go well with spicy food. Odd.
The one thing I did like about the donuts was that by the time I got to the second one, they seemed to grow on me. Maybe it was a bad batch or that first one was just plain terrible. It’s hard to say.
I’m going to have to cut this one short friends. Until next time.
