We always knew that Krispy Kreme had the power to bring down nations. But little did we know just how accurate that statement would be.
A 24-hour iteration of the famous doughnut bakery opened its doors in Dublin, causing a mad rush for the treats that drove noise pollution levels up in the Irish capital.
Because of the chaos, the Krispy Kreme was forced to remove its 24-hour time window. According to Pedestrian, the drive-thru will reduce operation ours to 6am-11:30pm.
The public was highly amused at the chaos caused by all those Irish folk who were absolutely mad for a doughnut.

The entire Krispy Kreme situation really highlights why Ireland can’t have nice things— Claire 💬 (@Claire 💬) 1538579709.0
Though, if there's anything in the world that's worth losing all rational thought and reasoning for, it's a doughnut.
