I have had a few Krispy Kreme Classics over the years and have loved them. However, one thought has lingered in the back of my mind - the doughnuts weigh so little, how much substance is actually there? Today, I decided to run a little test.
I bought a hot Classic right out of the cooker and took it home. I squashed it between to hard surfaces to see what I'd have left. The pictures demonstrate the result.
The original doughnut weighed 53 grams. After being squashed, it weighed 35 grams. So, I guess roughly one-third of the Classic's weight was made up of cooking oil!
This was enough to satisfy my curiosity. Now, on the solving the Meaning of Life.

Okay, bro-in-law, I think you have entirely too much time on your hands, LOL ! Oh, and if I "squish" all the donuts I eat will I get less calories?? Just wonderin'.....
Actually, I think so. With all the oil squeezed out, calories and fat should go down. However, I tasted the "squashed" doughnut and it wasn't very good.
