To ask how you pronounce Krispy Kreme?

[calvermegan]

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?

Crispy Cream

Typical spelling rules dictate a single constenant following a vowel usually makes the vowel sound like it's letter name (Yr1 English).

It's normal practice for brands and shops to go for whacky spellings but it rarely changes the sound of the word.

It is an American brand so the words would be expected to sound English not French.

I say cream "creem", there's been krispy Kreme in London for years before they got more mainstream and everyone said cream.

Always Crispy Cream.

Funnily enough a friend did pronounce it 'Crem' just this weekend and it was the first time i'd heard it.

Not that I buy the revolting things but I've always said Crispy Cream

They're £13.49 for 6.
Tomorrow you can get 12 for £12 or 24 for £20!

YES!! I loved WH but hearing this made me want to tear my ears off.

It’s definitely Cream.

Crispy Cream. Shoving a K in the front and manipulating vowels doesn't change my view that that's what they are called. And I like them and am not ashamed to admit it. Well, maybe a bit ashamed. But at least I know how to pronounce them.

I say Cream....just like I pronounce Creme Eggs as Cream Eggs. Perhaps they should actually be pronounced as Crem Eggs?🤔

Who the heck is saying ‘crem’? It’s cream.

Are people getting confused with the pronunciation of crème de la crème?

No. They shouldn't.

This is insane. It's Krispy CREAM

proof - and I cannot believe nobody pulled this out earlier - is The Beastie Boys on 3 MCs and 1 DJ - clearly - say CREAM

@2:43 on the video above.

Cream - it makes me cringe when people say Crem

Where I live ‘crem’ is short for crematorium.

Crispy Cream: over-priced and sickly doughnuts.

Crispy Crem: posthumous service with a thermostatic issue.

Greasy Crap

I saw them in Sainsbury's today and actually started laughing on my own thinking about this 😃

It's cream. I've never heard anyone say "crem" and I'm baffled why anyone would??

What do they think the "e" on the end of "Kreme" is for? It's a magic E!

Cap becomes cape with me! Krem becomes kreme with me! I'm magic magic E!!

Crispy crem. Don’t ask why. Now you’ve asked it doesn’t seem logical 😂

This made me chuckle 🤭 In a light hearted way, it was nicely written, not because I’m pleased some of your friends have met their maker. I’m early 40’s and have, unfortunately, visited the crem far too frequently than I’d prefer in the last 10 years or so. (Including for my Dad and FIL).

FWIW, I also say Krispy Crem 🙈 Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing now 😂

Thanks for making me smile!

Always said Crispy Cream and 17 y/o DD and her peers also do.

How could you make someone feel inferior by pronouncing something incorrectly?

I'm taking the piss my love

I say 'crispy cream' but my first ever experience of it was in the US, so that might be why.

I assume more people here think it's just the French 'crème', hence pronunciation?

Yep, and “Mo-ay”. Idiots.

What is "mo-ay"?
