Krispy Kreme going nuts with launch of viral new 'Doughbai' doughnut
This doughnut is a love letter to pistachio fans everywhere.
Pistachio pandemonium is about to reach new, mouth-watering heights! Doughnut icon Krispy Kreme® has done it again with its new innovation, a first of its kind in South Africa.
The 'Doughbai' indulgence doughnut, which will have fans going nuts over a limited-edition doughnut that delivers the ultimate melt-in-your-mouth pistachio experience in every bite.
Inspired by the glitz and glamour of the viral Dubai chocolate, Krispy Kreme has added its own unique spin to the chocolate and has created a doughnut resembling the chocolate from the look and feel to the taste and composition of the doughnut. This doughnut is a love letter to pistachio fans everywhere. Imagine:
Krispy Kreme's signature fluffy doughnut, filled with creamy pistachio cream, double-dipped in a decadent chocolate dip, sprinkled with kataifi and pistachio nuts, finished with a drizzle of pistachio cream.
Krispy Kreme South Africa Managing Director, Gerry Thomas, is proud to have been the first to launch the viral trend in SA, giving it a unique Krispy Kreme spin.
'At Krispy Kreme, we're committed to creating innovative, joy-filled experiences for our fans. Pistachio is a trending flavour and bringing this product and innovation to our South African shores allows us to deliver the viral trend, at a fraction of the cost, sharing the joy with everyone alike and ultimately something simply irresistible.'
Beaming with excitement, the Krispy Kreme Marketing and Innovations team is excited to launch with Gerry adding on 'The Pistachio Overload Doughnut blends the cloud-like texture of Krispy Kreme's iconic doughnuts with the rich, creamy flavours of Pistachio for a match made in dessert heaven. It's a flavour combination we know fans will love and the perfect excuse to treat yourself and share the love with friends and family.'
And that's not all, Krispy Kreme has taken it a step further by creating a Pistachio Chocolate Kremey Chiller, think the viral Dubai chocolate, but as a drink.
Our taste buds are watering! The duo created by Krispy Kreme combines the rich, nutty pistachio goodness with their world-famous doughnuts, delivering a flavour experience like no other. This pistachio overload creation will be nothing like you've tasted before, giving the ultimate Doughbai indulgence.

Taylor Swift secures restraining order against stalker
Taylor Swift, the global pop sensation, has taken swift legal action to protect herself and her family. The protection order was filed against a persistent stalker who has been visiting her Los Angeles home. The 35-year-old singer recently obtained a temporary restraining order against Brian Jason Wagner, a 45-year-old man from Colorado. Brain bizarrely claims that Swift is the mother of his child and that they are in a relationship. These claims are entirely false, and Swift has made it clear that she has never met or communicated with Wagner, according to the Daily Mail. Wagner's troubling behaviour began as early as July 2024 and escalated over time. He has repeatedly trespassed on Swift's property, refusing to leave when confronted. On one occasion, he appeared holding a glass bottle, which Swift feared could be used as a weapon. Disturbingly, Wagner even attempted to change his identification documents to list Swift's address and tried to intercept her mail. In her court filing, Swift expressed deep concern for her safety and that of her family. She wrote, 'I do not publicly disclose my residence and have never revealed my address or the location of my Los Angeles home to Mr Wagner. Thus, the fact that Mr Wagner has figured out where I live and has visited the property multiple times, refusing to depart and asserting a need for access, makes me fear for my safety and that of my family'. The court responded swiftly. Judge Debra R. Archuleta ordered Wagner to stay at least 100 yards (about 91 metres) away from Swift. The temporary restraining order will remain in effect until 30 June, when a hearing will determine if a permanent order is necessary. This case highlights the darker side of fame. Despite her global success and millions of fans, Swift faces real threats to her privacy and security. It also underscores the challenges celebrities face in protecting themselves from obsessive individuals. Swift's partner, NFL star Travis Kelce, has publicly supported her throughout this ordeal. The couple remains committed to their relationship and prioritises their safety amid these unsettling events. Taylor Swift's experience serves as a reminder of the importance of legal safeguards against harassment and stalking. As one expert noted, 'Restraining orders are crucial, but they are not always enough. It takes vigilance and support from law enforcement to keep people safe'. Taylor Swift's quick action sends a strong message: no one, no matter how famous, should tolerate threats or harassment. Her courage in facing this threat head-on is commendable. South African fans will no doubt stand with her in wishing for her continued safety and peace of mind. In these challenging times, Swift's story reminds us all of the value of security, privacy, and the rule of law—even for the biggest stars on the planet.
