Mister Donut¡¯s collaborative Pokemon doughnuts got lots of attention online recently, albeit for reasons the chain probably didn¡¯t want. Early versions of the company¡¯s Pikachu doughnuts came out looking nothing like the iconic character. Consumers delighted in sharing funky-looking offerings with wonky eyes, mouths and noses.
The issue seems to have been fixed in time for it to go nationwide, though. Mister Donut is offering two special Pokemon-themed creations, the aforementioned Pikachu and one shaped like a red-and-white Pokeball (?216 after tax).
The latter offers the more agreeable taste: the strawberry and white chocolate doughnuts are covered in a pleasing glaze. The Pikachu doughnut, however, is more divisive. It boasts a banana-chocolate coating, with a synthetic fruit taste that can be off-putting to some. But hey, it sure looks cute, especially now that they worked out the whole face problem.
