I understood that the Renison family of the original Crispy Creme in Portsmouth Ohio sold a franchise to Krispy Kreme. It was difficult to beat the old Crispy Creme when I was young (around 1942, I was ten). Twenty-five cents for a baker's dozen (13) and right from the vat they would melt in your mouth and move right into one's arterial heart arteries. What a way to die! Hot cotton candy!
