Krispy Kreme wants fans to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the iconic ’90s sitcom “Friends” with a new series of specialty doughnuts.
The only problem? Some “Friends” fans are upset that Krispy Kreme isn’t sharing this release with U.S. consumers, since the special doughnuts are only available in the U.K.
The doughnut chain announced its new limited release of four “Friends”-inspired doughnuts in a reference-heavy news release Monday, stating: “Could we be more excited?!?!”
“Each donut is a tribute to one of the most iconic TV shows, inspired by fan-favorite characters and episodes,” the announcement said.
As part of the celebration, Krispy Kreme conducted a survey to evaluate the likelihood of its adult consumers sharing food — a nod to Joey’s famous line “Joey doesn’t share food” — and found that when it comes to doughnuts in particular, people are a little stingy.

Reaction from American fans
“Friends” and Krispy Kreme fans have a big problem with the limited release — it’s only available in the UK
Despite “Friends” being an icon of ’90s American culture, the North Carolina-based company decided to give away the anniversary treats only to its fans. Why? Well, Krispy Kreme has decided to keep its secrets — but American fans certainly have some opinions.
