The supersugary nature of the donuts makes them incompatible with Northern stomachs. Is there any sugary substance southern people won't eat?
Probably not. Have you ever had banana pudding (with Nilla wafers) or pecan pie? Blackberry or peach cobbler? Ah, the refined sucrose...
I still am amazed by the concept of Southern "sweet tea". No packets of sugar for you, no ma'am; you have to MELT the damn sugar into a syrup so that the tea is evenly sweetened. If it wasn't so logical, it would be wrong.
While in New England, I was going nuts for decent sweet tea. It just doesn't seem to exist in Rhode Island (other Snapple). And you cannot sweeten cold tea, unless you use something vile and artificial.
Then again, I've never been blessed to have eaten a _hot_ Krispy Kreme glazed, which I have been told is nirvana in a pastry.

Sheer perfection.
