Krispy Kreme wants to give out 45,000 free doughnuts in one week
Krispy Kreme has a massive goal: give out 45,000 free doughnuts in one week.
Krispy Kreme lovers have until May 18 to score a free doughnut during the “Hot Light” hours from 7 to 9 a.m. or 4 to 7 p.m.
The freebies are in celebration of the video game PAC-MAN’s 45th anniversary. PAC-MAN’s “official” birthday is May 22. The video game debuted in 1980.
“With notable brand recognition around the world, the PAC-MAN brand is one of the most beloved on the planet and continues to thrive as he enters his 45th year of entertaining fans of all ages,” said Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc, the organizer of the PAC-MAN celebration, in a press release.
Krispy Kreme has also partnered with Bandai to release a limited-edition line of doughnuts. The Krispy Kreme x PAC-MAN Collection features three new doughnuts in a nostalgic custom PAC-MAN game dozen box.
Here’s a look at the lineup:
- PAC-MAN Party Doughnut– an Original Glazed doughnut piped with yellow buttercreme flavored icing, sprinkled with celebration sprinkles and topped with a PAC-MAN piece.
- TEAM GHOST Doughnut– an unglazed shell doughnut filled with chocolate flavored cream, dipped in black icing, decorated with PAC-MAN maze and topped with Team Ghosts piece.
- Strawberry Power Berry Doughnut– an unglazed shell doughnut filled with strawberry flavored cream, dipped in red icing.
