A woman in Britain got a pretty gross surprise in her Krispy Kreme doughnut this week.
When Ria Findlay caramel doughnut, she immediately noticed that there was something wrong.
“As it was my first, I was discussing flavors of the filling with my colleague next to me,” she told The Mirror. “It was like: ‘Oooh there’s caramel, and cream and oh what’s this blue stuff?’”
The blue stuff was a latex glove.

“Hi Ria, please accept our apologies. Please can you send full details over to us so we can investigate and liaise with you > helpdesk@krispykreme.co.uk. Our customer care team will be in touch with you tomorrow.”
