To ask how you pronounce Krispy Kreme?

I have always said Crispy Cream. That is what they were called on any American tv show I watched growing up.

Now they are mainstream in the UK I often hear people call them “Crispy Crem”

Which one do you say?

In my head, I pronounce it 'ridiculously overpriced doughnuts'.

SwedishEdith · 03/02/2025 21:25

They look horrible to me so not something I'd say out loud very often but I would definitely be in Camp Crem.

Crispy Crem.
Had them in Hartford Connetticut and they pronounced them this way.

Well, they're wrong.

HamandCheeseSandwich · 03/02/2025 21:25

I just don't understand why they have crispy in the name!

HamandCheeseSandwich · 03/02/2025 21:24

Cream. I suspect people are assuming accents on "Kreme" when there aren't any. (Creme de la creme for example has accents on the first e, making the pronunciation 'crem')

The company themselves are clear it's "cream"

I've only ever heard "cream".

Crispy Cream. I don’t know why I know this as I don’t think I have ever had one. But I know it is right 😉

Mangoesintoapub · 03/02/2025 21:14

Does anyone say Crem Egg?

sugarandfudge · 03/02/2025 21:13

Cream (aka 'the correct way') 😋

Oftenaddled · 03/02/2025 21:12

I suppose it makes sense. Kreme de la Kreme?

But I say cream Grin

GoodVibesHere · 03/02/2025 21:12

Crispy cream

On the basis that the doughnuts have got cream inside, not crem inside

BabyMushroom · 03/02/2025 21:10

never heard anyone say crem

MyUmberSeal · 03/02/2025 21:10

Cream. Crem is weird.

crumpet · 03/02/2025 21:09

Have never come across the Crem pronunciation

Overthebow · 03/02/2025 21:08

Cream. I’ve never heard crem before.

PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich · 03/02/2025 21:08

Crispy Cream. That's what they've always been called.

Cookiesandcandies · 03/02/2025 21:08

Cream.

I overhead a conversation earlier where they repeatedly said Krispy Crem, and it made my teeth itch.
