Isn't that a bit like evaluating the cost of coffee based on starbucks prices?

We also don't know how recent this story is. When I was a kid, in the days before gentrification and gourmet-everything, there was a doughnut shop nearby that was like $2 for a dozen. It was way cheaper than regular fast food. I remember thinking what a great discovery it was until I found I couldn't handle more than a couple of them before the sugar was too much for me.

I don’t think KK is quite as pricey as Starbucks. A Starbucks brewed coffee is about 2x the price by volume of McDs. As long as we’re talking about standard kk-sized donuts I think it would be difficult to find them for less than $6/dozen.

Are doughnuts different in America to other parts of the world? I couldn't imagine ever eating 12 Aussie-style doughnuts in 1 sitting, unless it was some sort of eating competition. It'd be like eating 3 hamburgers or 6 hot dogs.

I don’t think they are different. In my experience it’s common to buy them by the dozen because you’re taking them to some sort of event.
