The donut wars have stepped up a notch in Knoxville. In response to Krispy Kreme launching a Cheerwine flavored donut, Yankee-owned Dunkin’ Donuts has responded with a Krispy Kreme flavored donut. According to a Dunkin’ Donuts press release, “….clearly they have lost focus on what people enjoy, which is donuts. By making a donut that tastes like a donut, we should be able to make a loyal customer out of anyone that tries one of those nasty Cheerwine flavored things.”
