Krispy Kreme Website

The American doughnut shop, Krispy Kreme has recently opened a store in Liverpool One, prompting an opening day visit from Carol and myself. Now normally I'm not a big lover of doughnuts - except jam doughnuts which are yummy and covered in sugar - but the smell of warm doughnuts really makes me feel quite ill and to imagine eating one is even worse. Luckily, the Krispy Kreme doughnuts are cold and come in many different flavours such as cookies and kreme (intentional incorrect spelling), lemon meringue pie and strawberries and kreme.

As I had never visited a Krispy Kreme before, I decided to have a look on the website before going along, to see what I might fancy buying (I didn't want to be that person at the front of the queue, unable to decide what they want and annoying everyone around them). As I did this however, I came across a word spelled incorrectly.

Apologies for the poor image, it's the best I can do - although you can visit here to see it properly, just scroll down to the bottom of the page. As you will see, the word 'rasberry' has been spelled incorrectly and should read 'raspberry'. Now I do feel raspberry is one of those tricky words with a useless letter put in the middle of the word, I'm sure with the express purpose of making spelling difficult for people - can anyone tell me what the point of it is? Either way, no matter which side of the argument you're on, the spelling is currently 'raspberry' thereby, unfortunately, making this an error on the Krispy Kreme website.

On the plus side, I did like their doughnuts!
