Oh My Glaze! Krispy Kreme Unleashes Woke Ghostbusters Doughnuts

Brace yourselves, comrades! Krispy Kreme has just dropped a squad of Ghostbusters-themed doughnuts, because apparently, capitalism and sugar are the ultimate ghost-busting duo. 🍩🤷‍♂️

In honor of Halloween and the 40th anniversary of the original (not the reboot, heaven forbid) "Ghostbusters," Krispy Kreme has cooked up four new doughnuts. They're available Monday onward, at participating shops, because nothing says "spooky season" like a corporate-mandated limited-time offer. 🙄

“Oh yes, these treats are no trick. When it comes to Halloween this year, you know who to call,” said Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme’s global chief brand officer, probably while swimming in a pool of sugar like Scrooge McDuck. “Krispy Kreme is the gatekeeper to Halloween sweetness and Sony Pictures Consumer Products is the key master... You’re welcome, Gozer.” eye roll

The Woke-tastic Ghostbusters Doughnuts

These sugary specters come in a fun little ghost trap box (how adorable, right?):

• Ghostbusters Cookies N’ Creme Doughnut made with Oreo: Because when you're fighting ancient gods, you need the power of cookie-creme synergy. 🍪🍫
• Slimer Doughnut: An unglazed doughnut with lemon-green filling and purple-green icing. It's like eating Slimer himself. shudders
• Ecto-Sprinkled Doughnut: Just an Original Glazed doughnut with orange icing and neon sprinkles. You know, for the 'gram. 📸
• Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Doughnut Pull-Apart: Powdered doughnut holes with marshmallow buttercreme, because why stop at diabetes when you can also have a heart attack? 🙃

Three of these doughnuts will also be lurking in select retailers, delivered fresh daily. Check the Krispy Kreme website to stalk your prey.

And if you're thirsty for some woke-tastic ectoplasm, try the Slimer’s Slime-ade, colored "a signature ectoplasm green." Yum? 🤢

Free Doughnuts for the Cultured Masses

On Halloween, if you wear any costume to your local Krispy Kreme, they'll throw you a free Original Glazed doughnut. Because cultural appropriation is a treat, not a trick, right? 🙄

And let's not forget their oh-so-autumnal Golden Harvest Collection, with flavors like Maple Buttercreme and Salted Caramel Cheesecake. Because basic is the new black. 🍂🍁
