Raleigh, NC – Winter weather affecting the state may have an impact on the weather or not, you can try a limited edition Mars donut from Krispy Kreme.
To celebrate the landing of the NASA rover, Krispy Kreme planned to launch a limited edition Mars donut on Thursday – which will only be sold for one day.
The rare celestial occasion was meant to be marked by a rare donut, shaped to look like the red planet itself – soaked in caramel and filled with chocolate cream, covered with a red vortex that resembles Mars.
“It’s even sprinkled with crumbs of chocolate chip cookies for that authentic touch of Martian dust,” CNN wrote.
Unfortunately, it seems that humans have never been meant to fly so close to Mars. Person Street had a line of customers waiting for the limited edition for one day. Once they were sold, the donuts disappeared.
Several locations around the Triangle were completely depleted before noon, with no way to get more stocks.
Disappointed and angry customers called Krispy Kreme’s customer service line “all day”, according to a service representative.
The problem, according to officials, is the weather.
Weather problems have had an impact on the delivery of limited edition donuts, which means that some stores have received them and others have not. The stores that got them sold out quickly and can’t get more, according to officials.
Officials said the problem was exacerbated by enthusiastic customers traveling to secondary locations in search of Mars donuts, which overloaded local stores that had enough stock for their own customer base and could not manage additional customers.
Customer service Krispy Kreme said it is very sorry for the weather affecting the availability of the Mars donut. Local managers who spoke on the phone said they felt awful that they had so many disappointed customers.
Given the weather affecting the launch of the donut from Mars, will Krispy Kreme try to launch at another time?
Yes! Krispy Kreme announced:
“Your response to our Mars donut was out of this world and many stores have already sold out for that day. We continue to offer the Mars donut where supply and weather allow.”
